Wow, Long time no Post.


So It has been a very long time since I posted. As it would happen with Facebook, it is sometimes hard to post, or see the reason in posting anymore. Also Grief. If you have ever lost anyone you know it can really change you, esp if it is your parent. Its been well over a year and somethings its just hard ot get back to. So here is a catch up on the year of course it would be impossible to catch up everything. But Spans from Steel head and salmon fishing to gardening livestock, spinning. So have a look.

Fishing on the Klamath


Went fishing on the Klamath today.

Let say at ^inthe morning, anyone out was fueling up their boat/ or Truck. Ocean fishing is a big one here in Humboldt this time of year, but we were going for Spring Salmon.

                                           

 

If you drive through Orick, it is hard to not see these guys
                                          

C never takes my Picture so I have to take my own which always leads to weirder shots.
                                           

C always has his little butt hanging out when were on the boat.
                                       

These damn birds are so funny.
                                      

We didn't quite get skunked. .

Did  I mention it was Fracking Cool!

Here is the Book:

                                                                               


 

First we went to the Farmers Market, then we went to Fabric Temptations, where we got a cool magazine ( some of the free gifts were wool soaps, and silk Floss too!) as well as getting out Books stamped.
                                                        
                                                                  

While we were in Arcata we went toOpen Studios  we went  to Stewart School which inculded Joyce Jonte, Libby George, Allison Reed and many more.

                                                                      

Second we went toChicken Boots! ( look here too). After I drooled over all the knitting stuff I noticed a chicken tracto with 60! yes you counted right 60! Freedom Rangers!!! How cool? We got this niffty little iron on, and I saw this wonderful hen taking her dust bath.

                                        

      

Third on the list was Knitters Lane.

Awesome magnet

          

Unfortunatlety I forgot to take pictures of the awesome baskets that were being offered until the last place.

We stopped at a neighbors yard sale and I got this cool Ice Chest for $10!



We then headed down to Ferndale, where we went to the animal live stock thingy. I say this, cause well I don't really know what to call it. But there were goats, ducks, chickens and rabbits. Needless to say now we have these meat Birds.
                                               

Then We had to get chocolate, and I had to stop and get custard powder, and finally we were on to the fourth place.


                    
Fourth was theFoggy Bottoms Yarn. I hadn't been here since they moved. GO. It is an awesome new space with the same friendliest people. It was great.
                                          


 Who can leave ferndale with out getting some produce????
                                     

                                                Fifth on the list wasBoll Weaver

                                       

Sixth Was YARN. now they have moved, and I didn't know but the new space has a great vibe.
                                       

           

Then we ended the Afternoon at the North Coast Knittery! They gave away awesome prizes each hour, w e were able to stay to be entered in the last two. when we didn't win, we went over to the Lost coast Brewwery and had a Pitcher of great Local Beer, and food! What a way to spend out knit in Public day!

Some people in Ceramics need to be reminded that there is a proper way to clean and leave a wheel when your not working on it.

( Now if you have your work there and are coming back then this doesn't apply to you, but cover it and put a note on there and say be right back).

When you have a stone shower.....


When you have a shower that three sides are stone and one is glass. Inevidably there are soem spiders that find their way into grout holes. My grout is in excellent condition. But well you know animals will be animals. So.... I reach out of the shower and get a twoel. I shake it then start to move the towl towards me. There was this little beast on the bottom of the shower. I didn't smoosh her but she was in the water. If I tried to get her she would have bit me. poor thing.
