Haven't you heard it's a battle of words....

As I sit here in front of my roaring fire
and there is a snow storm warning .
I want you all to take a quick look around the
house and let you all see what we have been up
to.

A quiet corner of the soon to be fiber studio
is Cara and Nick sitting on the guest couch/fold out futon.















On another side of the room, Phaedre my
wheel sits with brown corriedale that I am
spinning at 40 WPI.















I am having so much fun with this
fiber when I have time to spin.

Because the rest of the house has been eating
my life...

We had friends over to enjoy dinner
in the now finished dining room.















Or the quiet corner of the living room















My latest project















And as always

Knits on my laptop, Dopey, powered
by Ubuntu Hardy Heron.

    That looks just like *my* house!!! Oh wait, it *is* my house. :-)

    And it's starting to look more like a home and less like a warehouse.

    It's looking good! I told Harriet, but I'll tell you too... I love the way the house is coming together. It really is warm, welcoming, and wonderful.

SKI HICKORY!

My last birthday, I went skiing. This is how I always spend my birthday. However this time I went back to one of my favorite places in the 'Dax Hickory Ski Center For a place that's been around since 1946!; it remains a little known area outside of Warrensburg NY They re-opened 2009-2010 after having a hiatus of a few years. First things first, there are no chair lifts at this mountain. This fact may turn away most skiers. POMA LIFT EXAMPLE Don't let the this scare you off. POMA is one of the faster lifts. The only drawback that I found was for every down there is an up. You ski the mountain both ways. Secondly, in the era of global warming, It's natural snow only... So you get what you get. Ski Report 2-17-2014 My wife and I got up there around noon, I don't normally ski longer than four hours since I have had broken my right leg back in 1991 at Mt Baldy (long story there) She found the place delightful and rustic. I had plan

Mystery Wheel

Over the weekend, My wife Harriet and I hit an estate sale because we saw "LARGE ESTATE SALE (GLENMONT)" in the local edition of Craigslist. What really intrigued us was this snippet from the ad "NEW SMALL SPINNING WHEEL" To us, small means an Ashford not a great wheel What we found was Marked at $125.00 This made me want to pass.. Except this was day TWO of the sale and everything was...... HALF-PRICE...... This was worth $62.50 even if it did not work just for parts... I does not have a makers mark however BTW it does spin... See this image .. I added that purple leader and I spun that last night. Oh yeah it's a double drive that seems to have leather bearings and a solid flyer / whorl combo. Detail here.... Maddening I say, he who is used to the Ashford set up. I think it's from the mid-sixties as a kit-decorative wheel as the mains are affixed to the platen via square head 1/4" 20's nuts. And the legs have thread heads for screwing into the p
