- I saw some yarn spun up on a Ravelry group while I was surfing around late one night several weeks ago. It was a merino tencel blend and it was shiny gun-metal gray shot through with primary colors. I mooned to Rachel over the yarn and then moaned about not being able to even find the link again to show her. I wanted the mystery roving desperately. I may have stomped my foot. Twice. Do you know what that girl did? She ordered 10 pounds of merino tencel and when it came in, she invited me over to help her dye me the roving I had in my head. This is it, exactly. My angel. I can hardly wait to spin it!
- Here's the problem: no time to spin today. These shots are from last weekend, but I suppose that the game today will look much the same. While cleaning upstairs this week, I found pictures of these boys playing a soccer game when they were kindergarteners. Then it was just a scrum around a ball as tall as their knees, but now, as an eighth grade team, they are a force with which to be reckoned. So fun to watch and the weather is perfect for a Saturday morning soccer game. It's just hard to take your spinning wheel to a soccer game...
- This evening, Emelie, our French exchange student, arrives in St. Louis. We're having a Mizzou football chili fest tonight in her honor. I don't know if she likes football, but she'll have to eat dinner, right? I'll make Cincinnati style chili and serve it over hot dogs or spaghetti noodles with cheddar cheese and sour cream. Also, my boys can't watch football without summer sausage and crackers. And my girl and I can't watch football without nacho chips and Rotel/Velveeta cheese dip. The game is a big one for Mizzou fans (of which husband and son and son's friend are several) so Emelie will get a taste of American football fans...
- In order to have this child in my house for several weeks, I have to clean out the upstairs sitting room and daughter's closet. I've gotten a start on these, but there is lots more to do. Today. Between soccer and groceries. Hubster is helping as is Daughter. Between the three of us, we should have the place ready by tonight. But that leaves no time for spinning either...
