Spindle, first aid, walking, demo, farm
Jan. 31st, 2007 09:45 pmMy Moosie spindle came today. The whorl is made from moose antler, and the wood I chose for the shaft is called kingwood (dark). The ones in the photo on http://www.journeywheel.com/specialspindles.php look a lot like it. I've spun a little on it already of course, seeing as they ship it with some wool already started on it. Spins for quite a long time, and quite finely too!
Decided to make the car and farm first aid kits using a couple of large tins I had in storage in the attic. I want the containers to be somewhat insulated but I hate putting in zippers, then saw the box with the tins and thought, "hmmm...." So I've cut out cotton batting and fabric for both tins. One I've finished sewing the pieces and glued them into the tin -- looks like it should work just fine. Will do the other one tomorrow.
Went to the mall but just missed getting to the post office in time. We put in a good walk around the mall, couple circuits as usual. Tomorrow morning I'll go back and mail that package, plus I have to stop at S&S to get some meds, and maybe check out Family Dollar for a few things. Oh, and last week someone told me they'd found organic fruit juice at Ocean State Job Lot, so maybe I should check them out as well, before stopping at the bank on the way home to make a deposit, just to get in as much as possible in one trip.
Tomorrow I have to warp up the table loom. If possible I will also have the small rigid loom we got at the New Year's Eve party also warped for other people to try out. Friday evening is the demo at Sage Park school in Connecticut, and I plan to be weaving there.
Saturday we'll be stopping in at Letterpress Things in Chicopee to drop off one of our eye charts -- the owner collects first prints, and since he's been so helpful to us in various ways, seems only fair he should get one :) Not sure what else is planned for Saturday at this point.
Sunday morning we're off to the farm to look at the land with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fitzw's dad, and talk to both folks about possibilities for agricultural development and construction. Then Concentus practice in either the afternoon or evening (yet to be decided).
