AH! I m still here, barely.

So been MIA For a while I know.

I had gotten this Chicken from Orick ( click here to read about it). She was at Sherri house. Well the other chickens didn't like her ( sherries or mine), they tried to kill her, and I think she might have been a bit inbred because she sat there and just let them peck her to death and her mouth gapped open. I had tired everything I could so I wouldn't have to get rid of her, she wasn't laying any eggs after over a month and none of the other chickens liked her. I really wanted to paint and draw her but it looked like it wasn't going to work out. I had to take her back up to Orick.SO good bye to my little Fluffy Chicken.

Next item My Socks.I handspun my sock yarn, three ply and I am using 00 for the needles. I ribbed the whole first one, then decided maybe I have been making socks the wrong way. So I started to rib then went to Stockinette..... Hmmm...

Heel Yarn:



Can't Decide if you have any ideas let me know.

Computer: Still being crap I need to have a Dell service person come out....

Rat: Caught one in the Shed, I flung it in the yard of a neighbor it looked more like a rural field then my shed.


Arts Alive: I totally flaked pictures... Here is guild member Weaving



Eggs: Tasty but not quite as good as I was hoping for in Color

Chickens: Charming as usual. I love the Roo he is so Wonderful

Hat: Sherri gave me this hat in trade for one of my Ceramic Chickens.

The Day after

So Don’t ask me why but after like 5 hours I had to wake up. I woke up with a sprained swollen ankle. I don’t know how. It was fine when I went to bed and no I didn’t hit it. So I spent a lot of the day with ice on it. Then I went with mom to her Spanish class.

So here are all my goodies

My Aunt sent me a hat she made and some tea cups

My mom Also made me dinner, Duck.



Roast Duck Food

Things I learned

1) Don't Assume anything about airlines, or the weather.
2) Not Knitting on a Plane because of Security REALLY Sucks.
3)Giardia SUCKS ( you can't fix all with Imodium)
4) You can never bring back too much Tea or Yarn ( the health risks of lugging two checked and two carry ons through multiple immigration are worth it)
5) Your country is your Country and no matter what happens in your life, nothing is like coming home.
6)Know someone with a good scale when moving yarn.
7) Inner peace is important and knowing how to maintain your temper (This is true of traveling with no paper book and no knitting).
8)Always Ask if your in front of the emergency Exit row, no matter how much you think you can tolerate, you can't.
9)You can sprain your ankle while sleeping.
10) The smell of cooking panettone can really make you estatic.

Shopping

Went to the Downtown today and bought a few things.
