Things that have occurred this week
Nov. 13th, 2022 12:02 pmIn no particular order:
I got two fleeces scoured on Thursday because it was the last warmish day for a while, I'm glad I did! I scoured a 5lb Dorset/Cotswold fleece that I got back in the spring and the 2lb Icelandic fleece I just got. They are still drying, it's been cool and cloudy so one of the fleeces is in the basement with the dehumidifier while the other is on the skirting table in what little sun we get. But it is windy so that's helped. I'm happy with them.
I got my Covid booster and flu shot on friday. No effect other than sore arm and even that wasn't bad. I had nothing to do yesterday anyway so I relaxed.
I'm trying to baby my right arm/wrist/hand with crafting. I've been doing a lot of stuff this week and my wrist mostly isn't appreciating it. I think it's primarily due to the new crochet project I started. It's not bad but if I keep doing things to aggravate it, it will get worse.
So I made eclairs today. Or mostly, I still need to assemble them. yum pastry cream.
Hopefully today I'm going to make a raddle for warping onto the big loom. I think it should be easy, just a piece of wood with nails close together.
I have to go away for a work thing this week, just tues to thurs and I'm not looking forward to it. The conference isn't as immediately useful to me as some of my coworkers but I will be able to get books from the library and possibly see the seed lab which would be great.
F has been unpacking her books and glassware into the cabinets now that she can. it's pretty nice to use the living room.
