Hubby left this morning for some meetings and will be home tomorrow night. He busily packed when he got up this morning….packing his C-pap machine, medicines, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, clean underwear and a change of clothing!
However, it’s still here by the front door waiting to be put in the car….
I’m sure this will be [...]
Fiber places I visited in TX
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: October 28, 2008
Visited wwwfireantranch.com while I was in Georgetown, TX. Purchased this fiber fresh from the dye pot! I think it will be spun by 2010! LOL It’s from Gulf Coast Sheep.
This is wool purchased from www.outbackfibers.com , also in Georgetown, TX. This feels so soft and gosh darn it, I can’t remember the animal it’s from! [...]
Wild hogs damage golf course.
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: October 28, 2008
While in Georgetown, TX visiting Bill and Sandra, who live in Sun City (they are A LOT older than hubby and I!) wild hogs were damaging the golf course. Because they live in the city limits, they can’t shoot these wild hogs who do their damage in the middle of the night.
They have to set [...]

While visiting friends in Georgetown, TX, poor Willie T. came down with a cold. And like most men, it was the most horrible cold man had ever had…coughing, raspy voice, you get the picture. A neighbor told him if he would rub Vicks Vaporub on his feet, it would cure his cough. He coerced Sandra [...]
SkyMall catalog – has everything!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: October 23, 2008
While on my flight to Austin, TX this morning, I was killing time (shopping) checking out the SkyMall catalog. Lo and behold! I came upon this stupid contraption, obviously devised by a man. It’s a little bracelet for a woman to wear that has an alarm to awaken the poor female in deep sleep to [...]
Jack’s hoodie on the “drying board”
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: October 20, 2008
This is the second hoodie I’ve made for Jack. This yarn was specially dyed by Ashley from Enchanted Yarn and Fiber….it’s so much prettier in person than on the “drying board”.
I’ve never blocked with blocking wires so made a frantic call to Diane for help. She was coming over to pick up some Pampered Chef [...]
My first spinning of yarn…tee hee!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: October 17, 2008
This is my first foray of spinning. Spun some blue pencil roving and then some purple pencil roving….now I’m plying them together. I’m so excited! Now I’m working on a name for it…probably end up with “grape” in the name.
Now to save for the wooleewinder, extra bobbins, and of course a knitty knoddy!
Ann the Gran….THANK YOU! WOW!

$900 repair on Elegante!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: October 17, 2008
My embroidery machine locked up in the middle of working on a design….had two “boards” replaced and OMG! – look at the thread that was wrapped around the handwheel!
$900 later (included an upgrade to the machine), it works wonderfully!
I’m thinking of having these things arranged in a shadow box to put on the wall in [...]

WOW! WOW! WOW! Is this an addition or what?!
More room for more yarn…more room to sit and knit…more room to sit ‘n spin…more room to weave….and I’ve even heard there’s going to be a fireplace. Nothing more cozy in the winter than sitting by a fireplace and working on your projects. I think I [...]

- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me!
