:: Friday Again ::
Can you believe it’s Friday already? The week seemed to fly by at an alarming rate. But, it is indeed Friday, so that means our “art” day. Today I was sewing tote bags (more on that maybe next week) and the kids had “free” art. Jess chose to draw, Cass is still crocheting. Josh spent about 10 minutes working on a plastic canvas project spelling out the name of the latest girl he “loves” (he’s 13 and worse then I was at his age, I think….every day it’s someone new). I was able to snap these pictures of Chris and Jac working on their plastic canvas projects. Chris is plugging away on his slippers I mentioned in a previous post. Notice the left slipper is done and he’s working on the right one. He hopes to have it done tomorrow to show off here.
Jac is working on a “secret project” that I am not supposed to know what it is, but he’s mentioned all afternoon that it’s a purse…bit shhh it’s a secret.
And look at all this yummy yummy goodness. It’s 5 pounds of Corriedale lamb roving. The fleece is from Cary over at Serenity Farms. I just love her wool. The fleece was processed over at Zeilinger Wool Co.
As you can see, I had to pull some out right away and begin fondling inspecting it. Soooo incredible. Now…do I just dive right in and start spinning and dye later or dye some first and spin later? Decisions…
And a blast from the past…
I had someone email me yesterday from my old high school. She was 2 years behind me but we were in the color guard together. I couldn’t remember her, so I got out my year book and had a wild time looking over the pictures. Here’s my Senior Picture.
And a recent photo taken on Mother’s Day.
So let’s be honest….has there been a whole lot of change over the last 20 couple of years? Now your challenge, should you choose to accept it….find your senior picture, post it on your blog and let’s see how much we’ve all changed over the last “few” years.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Ohh, you spin first ….and dye later. Dyeing makes the wool feel less soft….at least what I know of. So I would spin first, to enjoy the softness!!:-) You are really mean showing me that pic of that huge bag of my favorite wool Kim!!*GRIN*

I dropped out of high school, so I don’t have a senior picture.

Frankly m’dear, any change to your countenance has merely enhanced its beauty. Truly.
I’ll have to go dig out my photo and see about taking a decent ‘now’ picture. Our HS class graduates this week. That makes 37 years for me. Fortunately, I was the youngest in the class at 16 and so I’m not as old as many of my classmates are. (Like it matters once you hit 50+ right?)
Did the box come yet? I was bragging on your weaving today with my knitting group. One of us is a very capable weaver and was totally impressed with your work. Me too.

You look the same-amazing. I thought I didn’t have my pics and couldn’t do this, but amazingly, while going through a box in the garage looking for pool supplies-there were my graduation proofs. Elena told me “You look so pretty there and honestly, a bit younger!”-the nerve (LOL).
I’m playing along and will post on my blog.

Great pics. I’ll see if I can find one of myself, and play along too!

Love your high school picture challenge. I’m playing along and have posted my pics on my blog.

Oh the irony, mom dug up one of my senior pictures just the other day. I’ll have to remember to take a picture of it and put it up on my blog.

Hi I would like to ask you a question about your white roving that you had it process at Zwool in Michigan. I like the same thickness of the roving when you sent it to them how did you explain to them what you wanted. I have a fleece that I want to process in the same thickness and roundness that you have. Can you tell me what you ask them to do in order to make it that way. Thanks. isis
