Jul. 28th, 2008 08:18 amthe weekend continued wonderfully.
slept in sunday - which means getting up at 9am. stained and finished my spinning wheel. made breakfast for ross and i. talked to my folks. managed to get very sunburnt. there is something about physical projects when i am not in a rush that puts me into an almost meditative state. the process of doing has it's own meaning when you know what you are doing and don't have to interrupt your work to ask directions or read them.
i am sore all over from so much stretching and bending and reaching. it is probably very good for me.
susan came over and we went to the fabric store. i spent 2 dollars and got a liner and a zipper for my knitted dice bag. then we went to half-price books and i got a vegetarian cookbook that i think will be a BIG blessing come february.
we made spaghetti and watched hero and put the last oil coat on the wheel. i wiped off a little excess this morning. i am REALLY hoping it will be dry when i come home this afternoon and ready for me to put together. some of the pieces were already dry this morning, but it needs to be more uniformly dry before assembly.
susan also brought me some stuff from her folks, a pair of hand-carders and the aldan amos book on spinning that i've been wanting to read forever. the book has to be returned when i'm done, but the carders are mine to keep. that's pretty nice.
