Treasure bagged?

153 Swallowtail Shawl 159 162 163

It’s not Blackbeard’s loot but I did come home with a few nice things. I found some great sock knitting books and some new-to-me sock yarn. I found some nice stationery, a lovely new fountain pen (Cross Townsend Chrome), as well as a fabulous hand thrown teapot. I made some great progress on my Swallowtail shawl. I may have even picked up a postcard or two. The full set of photos from our North Carolina trip is here.

This and That…packin’ up!

Posted on April 6, 2012 by | Comments Off on This and That…packin’ up!
My mind has been scattered these last couple of weeks. I partially pack a box in one room, eat a cookie, check the kiln, sort the weaving tools to keep from storing them, pack the spices, sweep the front porch, finish a box in the laundry room...eat another cookie. So this post is a bit scattered as well!

I finally treated myself to one of Tracey Broome's houses...doesn't it look spectacular next to Dan Finnegan's tree with birds (he created this just before his imagination opened wide and released his fantastic flock of birds.)


Spring is officially here and the wisteria is blooming!  I think I trimmed it back at the wrong time a year ago...since this is the first time I have seen it bloom.  A sweet good bye.



AND I have been throwing pots.



My friend Lynette requested sheep themed garden stakes...I'm making more of these!  They were so fun to make.  Though made like tiles, the fact that some warped a bit was not a problem since they are now on posts and in her garden!




I've temporarily closed my Etsy shop.  I've priced and packed pots for the Retreat I'm vending at at Graves Mountain Lodge on the Saturday before our move, I've moved most of the other pots to Fredericksburg....the roof is being repaired one last time as I write this, the kiln is being moved next week and stored (unfortunately.)  Closing is scheduled for the 23rd, official packers and movers the 23rd and 24th.  We are almost there!!!

a different kind of flight

117 116

These are the dunes at Jockey Ridge. Maybe they are not as tall and impressive as those we saw at Great Sand Dunes National Monument in Colorado but they were fun to climb.

127 128 136 145

We could see why this was a good place for the Wright brothers to work. It was indeed extremely windy!

Lambcam 2 & 3 are up!

Posted on April 6, 2012 by | Comments Off on Lambcam 2 & 3 are up!

You can see Lambcam 2 here and 3 here. You will still need to follow the instructions on the pages. Lambcam 1, sadly, doesn’t seem to work on Macs so we are looking to replace it right away. In the meantime, you can watch two and three.
