Dog Daze….

I think that is what they really mean when they say the dog days of summer.. that is certainly what our dog has been doing..

Just shuffling around in a daze.. all of us are for that matter.

Well now there is some exiting news.. I got my second quarter notice from the publisher.. the booklet is selling well! over 6000 copies sold! Which means I actually got a check.. now what to do what to do.. oh yeah.. I have to pay for the permit to the township to get the sewer line hooked up… yep lets see they are making us pay for a permit to get something done that by law we have to do, if we don’t want the wrath of the state health dept on us..so the township decides they are putting in water and sewer lines. Dig up the town and cause traffic nightmares for two years.. then force us to pay for a permit for the thing they are forcing us to do.. hmmm and people don’t trust government.. gee I wonder why.. what a rap they have going!! Wish I could think up some brilliant money making scheme like that..

In any case.. after the payment for the permit.. it leaves us will a little money left over to maybe buy a couch.. or if we go to Unclaimed frieght  one of their low end couches and love seats..which I want to do soon so that money does not get sucked into the sewer project.. ugh..And finding someone to do the job. Well that is a whole other story..

So thank you all.. for my permit and my couch!! See you never know what good you do when you buy a book!!

 The other good news is… with my destashing and pattern sales I was able to get a spinning wheel!!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOO!

This baby is winging it’s way to me and I even have just enough to buy some fiber and perhaps take a local class.. pretty cool!

Blame it on my parents.. I have had an obsession with spinning for a long time..all those trips to Williamsburg..and other historical sites.. there was always a spinning wheel about.. and someone using it!! Heck Mt Vernon had a room full of them.. but I never thought that I would be able to try it.

I got a really good deal on the wheel so I will.. give it a spin!

Now.. how to finish it.. I am soo tempted to paint the wheel with one of those super crazy spinning optical illusions.. but I think I will just sand and wax it for now and then add a design later.. you know after I am good enough to take it out in public. hehe
