MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

I had to pick up my car yesterday so of course I had some time to kill. I got a ride to Akron my former home town.  Well, as some people do I went to the local bar to do well, what it is that you do in a local bar. As I was sitting there shelling my peanuts and throwing them on the floor (and What a great tradition this is) I caught a whiff of this heavenly smell. It took a while to pinpoint it but the smart person I am figured it out.  It was a fresh pot of coffee being brewd. MMMMMMMMM I thought to myself and took in all the wonderful fumes. But that is just it, I smelled coffee brewing. Do you see were I am going with this? There was no veil of cigarette smoke to dilute the hole experience. It really was a wonderful thing. I still want a cigarette now and then, and if there was a comet screaming its way to the earth and we only had one or two days to live before the carnage I would LIGHT RIGHT THE HELL  UP! But I have to say it was one wonderful moment.

LOOK AT ALL THOSE FREAKING COLORS!

I have so Meany old cones of warp lying around the house I decided to challange myself, the only color I may buy is black and I have to use what I have avalable in the studio for color. Well this is what the heck I came up with. I stared to weave last night but there was a studio emergency, created by me and my stupid decision to be nice and help someone that made one of the members really mad at me. So I had to play the cord of dred on my guitar and scatter home and hide behind veil of beer and my comfy down comforter. Needless to say I only wove off 5 or so inches and I am hoping the next time I show my face in the studio I don't find my warp cut.  (I really screwed up this time)

If I Could Only Sleep In For Once

As it is I get up for work at 3 am to be at work at 4. This has been going on for a while now so I have gotten used to getting up early. Today I had the perfect chance to sleep in and enjoy one of my favorite things in the world, sleeping under my down comforter. This being said I woke up at 3 am and could not get back to sleep so there was knitting that I started the night before wile watching The Big Labowski (my friend Sara told me I had to watch it). Anyway, I said what the hell! I turned on the radio and started working. I FELL BACK TO SLEEP! I woke up a 6 am turned on Sleepy Hollow, took my vitamin and got myself a beer. I ended up with the knitted piece that you see before you. I can't tell you what it is or who it is for because it is a top secret project given to me by Michelle Obama her self. KNIT ON!!!!!!!

WERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!

I have been away doing crap that I have know business doing. It has been one crappy couple of weeks and the worst Halloween ever!  I don't want to go into detail but my heart, soul and car were wrecked. But on the bright side I have a new old car. I have to learn not to be so freaking nice and help out others who need it. I do have to say that I don't think I could ever give up being a nice person. Oh well I am sure down their road I will lend yet another shoulder to cry on. I LOVE BEEIN A GOOD PERSON!

A Weekend Away

I took off and went to New Paltz Ny this past weekend. I used to do a craft show there and I thought I would renew some old friendships. To my surprise most of them moved on to other show for the Labor Day Weekend. I don't blame them for I to have moved on but for other reasons. But I my good friend Jeff from Funky Rock designs was there and he was the one I was most excited to see. This is a picture of Jeff in all his glory and yes that is the smile he has on his face all the time. I am thinking Deer caught in the headlights don't you think? He is really allot of fun. Here is one for all you single ladies out there checking out me blog.

Here is some of the crazy things he makes. Yes, that is a rock that dispenses liquor. He sold all 10 of them he brought with him basically on the first day. I got a lamp from him I have to say now my future is allot brighter because of it, or is it he 100 watt bulb? Well any way we laughed, drank and ate prime rib. I was a grand old time and I am the better for it. Look him up on the web  Funky Rock Designs.

This is Sarah and Adam Spector. They are 2 of the niece's people that I have met in a long time. When I first met them, Adam was doing his own thing with pottery and now the 2 have joined forces and are making some wonderful wears. I traded him a rug and a bag for this really cool bird that dispenses olive oil and a beautiful pitcher, that is how we met. He still uses the bag and the rug lies inside there in laws front door step. What a place of honor for both of my piece's. I hope you 2 really make a mark in the world with the beauty you put in it. Check them out and do your best to support them they deserve it. Google them  Spector Studios

Ok, So all good thing have to end, so I hopped in my not so sexy mini van and headed south. I had to stop and take a photo or 2 of the pumpkin carnage that came from the hurricane that ripped through the east. I am sure you all know what I am talking about. The first photo is of a sign by the road. Check out the pumpkin vines just draped over it. I can't image, they said that this area was covered in 5 feet of water. Both of these were taking right along the road 100yards from the river. There were pumpkin's everywhere. The price of Jack O Lanterns will go sky high this year. I did make it home safe and sound just in case you were wondering. I did stop for something to eat in this wonderful little town right over the Pa border called Millford. I want to spend a weekend there sometime.  Anyone want to join me?

All Sewed Up and Know Where to Go!

This is what my bags look like when they are done. I put allot of love into each of them as I am making them so they have a glow about them. In this pictures the glow is because of the sun, but trust me if you are in your room at night and the bag is there with you and there is this weird glow in the room, that my friend is the love that I put in. I have know idea why it glow but it does so enjoy the light it give off. I also eat cheese every time I am sew a bag so take that into consideration. I love you guys!
