weekend

Dsc_0392

With inspiration like this, I got to work dyeing.. all weekend.
It was a great.  I plugged in my ipod, turned on the pots, picked out the colors I wanted and got to work.  I never got further than my mailbox. 

Friday night was so warm that I came up with my new favorite drink. Tequila (of course).
I'm calling it "Easy".  I like easy, especially when it is hot.

  • Squeeze 1/4 lime into small glass over a couple ice cubes.
  • Add tequila shot.
  • Swirl to mix and cool tequila.

Saturday afternoon I remembered the PBS replay of Craft in America just in time to catch parts 2 and 3 (but not in time for part 1).  I sat down to watch and get some knitting done on The Spring Things Shawl.  It doesn't sound like much, but the weekend went quickly.
