Oh Dear
I think it's official, I have the flu, and it's not going to be pretty either. Who knows where I picked this up at, I've been out a lot this past week, and around enough people to pick it up.
It looks like we might get snow tomorrow! I'm so excited, I love snow. It's pretty brisk outside right now, I wouldn't want to be stuck outside tonight. It's been so warm here I think a lot of people are going to have a hard time acclimating to the temperature change. Like they might have to put clothes on.

Bittersweet
I'm really enthralled with my bittersweet, that I bought at the farmer's market. So it's no wonder that I bought beads in that colorway. I showed them to John and he asked me if I was going to make a bittersweet bracelet. Yep, yah betcha! I have some more beads, rounds that'll go nicely with the colors.
New Store Front?
Well it looks as if The Prairie Fibers Company will finally have a place to call home - that's not living in my home! I'm hoping we will be open in about two to three weeks, I may have to live a week without a bathroom, good thing the gas station is catty cornered across the street from me huh. Aside from more lights, furnace and a bathroom, and a serious cleaning it's move in ready.
The back half where the classes will be held needs to be finished but that's minor, mainly hte ceiling which is way the heck up there, needs to be painted, the tin ceiling has been stripped and primed already.
The store has lighting, but it desperately needs more. So I will be going shopping for lights here real quick like. Good thing my hubby is handy with this sort of thing. The woman won't rent the entire building out to me, she will only rent half of it, if I want the whole building I will need to buy the building. So buy the building I will.
My friend Brenda Backman went with me, she was pretty helpful in looking the place over, sometimes it's really hard to do this when your also trying to talk to the owner. I have so much work to do to get ready for move in it's unbelievable. I'm still questioning my sanity.
More later.

More watch parts, this time stop watches. The guy made a mistake when he started talking about the watch club! There's a club??? I'll have to get all of my female friends to go with me now. Somehow I'm starting to think I missed my calling in life, I'm not sure what the fascination with watches and clocks are but I have one. I guess I should have known this sooner, if you look around my house what do I collect? Clocks! An interesting collection for a person who doesn't wear a watch or cares about time.
Thunder Thighs
I'm trying to figure out how I managed to gain twenty pounds in the past two weeks. Maybe it was those two boxes of Hostess Ding Dongs I don't know, but gain weight I did.
Wayward posts
I finally figured out why my picture would not upload, I had saved the pics in a CMYK format instead of RGBY or whatever it is. I can't remember right now and don't want to take the time to open photoshop again to fin out. But I did discover that the format of the picture would help, some what.
I"m off to nurse a sinus headache now, I think it's from being in front of the computer too much today. I did get another bobbin of yarn spun up though, I'll have to take pics. I have about a half pound of the orange cotsworth silk noil blend left to spin. One half pound yeilds about three bobbins worth, so I should end up with six bobbins. I'm planning on a two ply yarn when all is said and done. I'm hoping to knit it up into a shawl for myself.
