24 & 25 thing a day




I have been busy with several things going as usual, ADHD- ( I am getting meds for it, we'll see if it hurts or helps) anyway day 24 is the painting " Breakfast" and day 25 is the plied angora I am still working on. this lendrom wheel is hard to use the ply for fine angora and hunking it on the bobbin... I am trying to finish just a little bit on 1 bobbin. the other bobbin I will put in a baggy and wait til I move to spin, more to ply it with. I still have 2 whites, to ply. anxiety is taking its toll on my health.

19 - 22 spinning angora



I have been spinning the most luscious angora from Connie Delamater s farm in MD. A great friend and shepherdess. I am also writing a cloth pattern. I was not happy with the first one and tried to fix it several ways, but when I looked at it again today, it looks better than I thought so I am knitting another to check the pattern.
I am not feeling well and can not pin point whats going on I went to the er friday night with the lung disease, now my sugar is running so high I am tired and can not think.. hope it clears up soon.

thing a day problems


This week thing-a-day had a few problems, which was ok as I had gotten behind doing mostly spinning , I need to empty these boxes of angora to use them to pack for moving. yesterday I did paint my gourd and knee- underpainting, they both need more, but thats what I worked on. Had to work today so have not done anything but a little more spinning.

tree and drums doodles




I made paper that I enjoy drawing on and it is made from my pc papers that I would have thrown away, my way of recycling. These 2 are just doodles for 15 & 16 of thing a day. I want to make more paper, I have many trash bags accumulated of shredded papers and egg cartons. but everything is packed to move when the house is sold or auctioned so I can not play with that for now. I am writing a few patterns for cloths that one can use only 1 ball of cotton and make 2 cloths. will post when I finish, it will be a while, designing this is new for me. hope all had a great weekend. my older son Fred took me on a casino ship for V-Day. we won and lost all day and had a good time. My younger son Jayson e-mailed us a picture of one of my g-daughters, she is a doll.. made my day !!
