TGIF

It's been a good week. There's some new stuff to do at work. I made progress on a languishing WIP. While two lunch dates cancelled, one was replaced with Youngest Daughter and the Grandbebe Girl. I consider that a decent trade. My first iris of the season bloomed. (Dearest Sister does not have the name, so it will be called Early Purple.) The weather has been excellent. Wonderful Guy and I got in a motorbike ride. Middle Daughter may be here for a visit end-ish of June.

It appears I didn't ruin the fleece investment, and have progressed on the carding, even having spun some of it. It is slow going, though. The carding, that is, not so much the spinning, even though there is still some VM to pick out even at that step. I told Dearest Sister that I hoped to have it processed before the Estes Park Wool Market, or I will be hard pressed to justify additional purchases. I have me some meanly honed rationalization skilz so not to fear! I won't be leaving Estes in June empty handed. I may have a chance to meet some Ravelers/fellow bloggers there, too.

The handspun scarf will be frogged and restarted on bigger needles. I might be finishing up a stash trade with a fellow Raveler, which is a new experience for me. She has been looking for some exactly like I bought for a good price last Christmas without a real plan for use, down to the correct lot number. I think I might be getting a wool/silk blend she picked up while in China.

Tonight, Wonderful Guy and I are participating in a Game Night with some friends, and tomorrow morning there is a meeting that will take consume us until lunch. After that? Some more yard clean up, and on Sunday maybe some more hiking. I started a log of the hikes over there in the margin, down the page a bit. We'll see how fast it adds up. First year Wonderful Guy and I started spending real time together, we logged over 150 miles. But that is a story for another post.

One other thing I want to do this weekend is to make some birthday cards. Our busy birthday season is going to be hitting hard starting with May. And making cards is a good way to get back in the scrap room. And I want to, too.

And that's all there is!
