Spinning Update
Ahhhh, the best laid plans of mice and men (women?) A little background. Mike had said he'd be traveling most of this week. OK, fine, so I had sort of planned out what I would be doing after work as far as my spinning/knitting goes. Last night, I had planned to spin up a couple of more samples for Wendy's sock yarn, take pix, and get them posted so everyone could see today. Well, not long after I get home from work, Mike calls and says he's on his way home...he has lots of work to get done on the computer...he'll be home in time for supper (I didn't plan on preparing anything!). OK, he gets home and says,

"Oh, I also need a suit to wear tomorrow."

"All but this one are packed up in storage since you didn't think you would need any suits this summer", I reply.

"Uhhhh, let's see"...tries on the pants and they are too tight.

"OK, let's see if I can let them out". Away I go to get the sewing machine out and start my couture sewing experience of letting out too small suit pants. Pizza is ordered and I go get it while Mike stays with Kelly and works on computer. I need an iron, but my sister took her iron back. Dohhhhhh! I try calling her but she's not there. So off to Target I go at 8pm to get an iron. (Oh, well, I needed a new one anyway! And guess who I saw at Target...my sister!) Anyway, got back, got the pants finished, and retired to bed exhausted.

Well I did get one more sample spun up before Mike got home. But he has the good camera so I've been using the pencam. Well, he informed me last night that he unloaded the pencam SW because it was conflicting with his scanner (which is also his business printer and fax machine). So, I not only didn't get all the samples spun up that I wanted, but I couldn't even get pix posted of the samples I did do!

Here's hoping that tonight goes better.
