There you'll get to see what inspires me and my colorways, as well as information about shop updates, fiber festivals, and new yarn/fiber bases and other products.<br /><br />Now, I'm not about to give us this little old blog, but I really wanted a place to focus on my dyeing. And this blog will still include dyeing, but it will still be the place for most of my personal stuff--and lots of pictures of the unbearably cute Miss Lily!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4M2yseBPOjhYAnqWXXXzO20LzTtEfFI4VXf2loBd3BA02SXXYVI2qH3tu1u0AA6Ck9tzKy-rbiC9_BhAeLyDzfiqU8LxAQudFjjzDA62zArqCjVh5F1CRNUQjLo_b47eKdfs/s1600/Lily_begging.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 311px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4M2yseBPOjhYAnqWXXXzO20LzTtEfFI4VXf2loBd3BA02SXXYVI2qH3tu1u0AA6Ck9tzKy-rbiC9_BhAeLyDzfiqU8LxAQudFjjzDA62zArqCjVh5F1CRNUQjLo_b47eKdfs/s400/Lily_begging.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675454456801472658" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Oh <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">pleeeeeezzzzeee</span>, can I have whatever you got on the kitchen table???</span></span><br /></div><br />So there's a new post over on the Moose Manor site today--complete with a little yarn p0<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">rn</span>.

(I'm so bad about that!) Here are those things I do to either recuperate faster or comfort myself:<br /></p><ol><li>Eat breakfast foods--"Regular" food just isn't appetizing when you're wheezing and sneezing and what not. Toast, cereal, and the like are they only things I want.</li><li>Tea--Always, always, a hot cup of tea. Can't stomach coffee when I'm sick.</li><li>Eucalyptus scented anything--Perfect for opening up the sinuses.</li><li>Lotion tissues--A must to keep from looking like <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058536/">Rudolph</a> after a couple of hours.</li><li>Sleep--Gotta support the body in it's efforts to heal itself.</li><li>Vicks Vaporub--Again, need to breathe!</li><li>Orange juice--I would probably be better off if I drank this year round, but I'll take that Vitamin C dose when I'm sick.</li><li>Soup--Easy nutrition and that sinus-opening steam!</li><li>Lip balm--For me, at least, chapped lips goes along with all the other cold symptoms. <br /></li><li><a href="http://www.drugstore.com/halls-mentho-lyptus-cough-suppressant-triple-soothing-action-drops/qxp11255?catid=184157&fromsrch=halls+cough+drops">Halls Cough Drops</a> (preferably in Cherry flavor)--Again, need to open up the sinuses, and that <span class="captionText" style="display:inline;">Mentho-Lyptus stuff does it for me.<br /></span></li></ol></div>Elizzabettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03102992893850776271noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16787205.post-47915267109288610692011-08-30T17:52:00.001-04:002011-08-30T17:52:00.297-04:00Quick update on Vermont floodingJust wanted to let everyone know that my house in Jacksonville, Vermont, was unaffected by the catastrophic flooding that occurred this past weekend. However, we were very, very lucky. Wilmington, the next closest town, was devastated. Many roads and bridges in the area were compromised, if not washed away. So many mind-numbing images online of the destruction. So overwhelming...
<br />
<br />So until I can do a more extensive post, here's <a href="http://vtresponse.wordpress.com/donations/">information about how you can help the people of Vermont</a>.
<br />
<br />Take care and be safe, everyone!

<br />Who'd a thought that a week later we'd be getting ready for significant hurricane! I've got the day off to day, so we'll be battening down the hatches at Chez Elizzabetty. If you're in the path of Irene (and that's one might big path she has), please stay safe!

Still a bit over spun, but not too bad. And the best part--by spinning every day I'm getting more and more comfortable with the wheel! Better control, more confidence, and definitely sucking a little less every day!<br /><br />I am getting a little bored with the white though. Once I get done with my bankruptcy class I'm going to dye a couple of batches for practicing--both wheel spinning and fiber dyeing.<br /><br />Unfortunately I can't take the wheel with me this weekend. I've got a <a href="http://celebratechamplain.org/component/option,com_eventlist/Itemid,66/func,details/did,142/">Rev War reenactment</a>, and my lovely wheel is just not period appropriate.

And not only have I spun every day, I'm actually starting to <em>suck less</em>! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Woot</span>!!!</p><p>I don't have any pictures yet to show you, but I'll try to get some during the day tomorrow. </p>Elizzabettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03102992893850776271noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16787205.post-40994629136609382282009-06-26T08:55:00.003-04:002009-06-26T08:57:54.294-04:00Eye Candy Friday<div align="center"><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2436/3662654136_819e3c8791.jpg?v=0"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2436/3662654136_819e3c8791.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><i><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://mountsnow.com/course.html">Mount Snow Golf Course</a>, West Dover, Vermont</span></i></div>Elizzabettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03102992893850776271noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16787205.post-14042913192326613362009-06-23T23:01:00.002-04:002009-06-24T01:23:51.304-04:00I'm having a wheely good time...<div align="center"><em>Sorry, but I just couldn't resist that pun...</em> </div><div align="left"><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Looky</span> what I got today!<br /><br /></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 375px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 500px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3364/3656416470_07a8edda7c.jpg?v=0" border="0" /><br />That's me, alright, spinning some <a href="http://www.woolworks.com/Shop/Fiber/Wool/American-Wool-54-56s-Top">basic white wool top</a> on my new (to me) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Ashford</span> Joy. Yup, mine--not a loaner. Thanks to my spinning agent, <a href="http://punkinheadland.blogspot.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Punkin</span></a>, and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/granee1661">Rosie</a>, the previous owner of this wonderful wheel, she's mine all mine!<br /><br />Isn't she lovely?<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 375px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 500px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3378/3655638715_ae7e78d75c.jpg?v=0" border="0" /><br />Single treadle, which suits me just fine. <p></p><p>And after a little <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">shaky</span> start, my spinning started to even out.</p><p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2466/3656417478_4b1e6191fb.jpg?v=0"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2466/3656417478_4b1e6191fb.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br />Some of that is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Punkin's</span> handiwork. (Of course, she had to try it.) I will definitely be needing more work with it, but I think I got some potential here to not suck too much at it.<br /><br />Even <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Punkin's</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Lendrum</span> welcomed the wheel into my life. My Joy just might be her new <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">BFF</span>--after <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Punkin</span>, of course.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 375px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 500px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3345/3655620167_082e385837.jpg?v=0" border="0" /><br />Being that I only got her late this afternoon, she doesn't have a name yet (nor did she previously have one). We'll see how she feels about it as we spend time together, but for now she will simply be called my Joy! </p>Elizzabettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03102992893850776271noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16787205.post-1837762220950568562009-06-19T14:17:00.002-04:002009-06-19T14:27:33.326-04:00Eye Candy Friday -- Vermont edition<a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3303/3641211839_76fe428471.jpg?v=0"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3303/3641211839_76fe428471.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a> <div></div><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">The southern end of <a href="http://www.mollystarkbyway.org/town/wilmington/harriman_reservoir/">Harriman Reservoir</a>, Whitingham, Vermont.</span></em></div>Elizzabettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03102992893850776271noreply@blogger.com1
