miss mary vote skip to content miss mary vote can trees be haunted one evening i was going for a walk around my neighborhood this was about a week after a very big storm took out several large trees in the area there were some men cutting down the remnants of one of the fallen trees as i passed i suddenly felt like someone was following me this feeling persisted until i got home when it dissipated that night i had a dream that something was poking me over and over it wouldn t stop poking me unless i yelled so i yelled ow over and over louder and louder until i yelled out loud in real life ow ow ow not sure if the neighbors heard me all i know is that in the morning i was no longer being followed i don t know if the spirit broke free of its earthly bond or maybe it found another tree aug 24 2024 psychic lives of celebrities i confess occasionally once in a while ok often i develop a crush on a celebrity nothing vulgar just some harmless fanfic to help me through the boring parts of my day logic logistics and time have nothing to do with these daydreams i pick up the plot right in the middle of the story it all makes sense in my head of course i m sane just enough to know that who i m dreaming of isn t the actual celebrity i m using their forms to spark my imagination i know i m not the only one who has these daydreams there must be thousands if not millions all that time and imagination all that psychic energy could that energy ever make it back to its inspiration does it ever influence their aura their minds stranger things have been known to happen perhaps it s the reason they become successful they have the ability to imagine different variations of themselves i like to imagine i have that kind of power during that fluid time between sleep and wake they have brief out of character ideas ryan gosling may get the urge to go to a coffee shop and sit next to an interesting older lady and talk about life and the art of film making i m sure k d wonders why twice a year she dreams of a road trip from omaha to fargo hugh jackman may feel the inspiration he s looking for is somewhere in the great plains who knows guess i ll have to keep dreaming aug 17 2024 babette s feast 1987 movies i m thankful for since i was on my own for thanksgiving i thought i would start watching movies i m thankful for i was intending to get through all the movies thanksgiving weekend but that didn t happen so i m giving myself till the end of the year i had to decided what does it mean to be thankful for a movie it s not necessarily a favorite movie or one i can watch multiple times i m looking at you thor raganrok it s a movie that had an impact on me most often emotionally i started with babette s feast which is going to be a thanksgiving tradition like die hard is to christmas babette s feast is to thanksgiving the movie takes place in denmark in the 1870s two elderly sisters tend to their late father s congregation they both had suitors when they were younger but chose to stay by their father s side but fractions are starting appear among the small congregation old transgressions bubble to the surface then babette appears on the sister s doorstep she is fleeing the french civil war her husband and son have both been killed babette becomes housekeeper to the sisters and adopts the austere lifestyle of the community years later babette asks to cook the meal for a special occasion what follows is a pent up artist unleashed an opportunity to relive what was thought lost a meal so powerful that it unwittingly brings the congregation back together i am thankful for this movie for one simple reason it brings me joy every time i watch it it s like dinner with friends it never gets old also there s some killer hand knits up next the sting dec 06 2020 well what do you know it s still here thought i would fire this thing back up i have some things to say about movies i m thankful for the love boat and 19th century brothels of council bluffs plus whatever else is on the back burner literally and figuratively a teaser for my first thankful movie post nov 29 2020 lovely corriedale i had some corriedale locks that were from a swap with kara i was fortunate that they were already scoured and came to me fluffy and lovely the best part was they still had a bit of grease on them and i loved the smell after my experience with the icelandic fiber it was a joy to work with some fiber that spun up so nice nicely after flick carding the locks i formed some lovely rolags every time i make rolags i think how i want to go to rollag mn and make rolags i read that corriedale yarn expands after it s washed so i spun it up as thin as i could i ended up with 112 yards of nice soft spongy yarn definitely a pleasant experience and i wouldn t hesitate to spin up some corriedale again as i was working with the corriedale fiber i took the waste fiber and put it in an old nylon sock i tied off the opening of the sock and threw it in the washer the next time i had a hot water wash after a few trips through the dryer i ended up with a nice wool ball thanks to kara for the idea i guess you can throw these things in the dryer and it helps your clothes dry faster i ve been using this one as a strength builder for my hands a few good squeezes and it helps stretch out my stiff and sore joints today i m working on project involving some gotland and shetland fiber and i can t wait to see how it turns out jun 02 2013 june 2 2013 icelandic saga my icelandic wool was the march installment of the fleece of the month club from between ewe and me i wasn t quite sure what to make of it when i received it icelandic sheep have a doublecoated fleece consisting of a longer outer coat t0g and a shorter under coat thel so here i had locks that had long and short fibers of different textures i could separate the fibers and work with it that way or combine the fibers since i had trouble separating the locks i decided to work with them combined once again my kind friend kara let me use her drum carder as i thought the hand cards might not work well i ended up with a lovely squishy batt of about 2 ounces then i decided to spin it that s were the saga comes in while the batt was lovely and squishy i didn t find spinning it that lovely perhaps it was the two different lengths the two different textures or maybe i was too cranky that day whatever it was i had a heck of a time getting it started the fibers kept slipping away from the leader or out of my hand i finally got enough twist to start making yarn i also had to be reminded of the lesson that sometimes you have to let the fibers be what they want to be let s just say i wasn t gonna get lace weight from this stuff so after i became more zen and let the yarn just be i ended up with about 60 yards of some interesting yarn i d like to try spinning icelandic again but next time i would separate the tog from the thel and see what happens if anyone has had experience with icelandic wool i d love to hear about it may 12 2013 193 yards of border leicester since i ve been spinning with different breeds i figured i should learn something about them i picked up the fleece and fiber source book and it s already a valued resource it covers many breeds and has given me a good understanding of their history and how to handle their fiber i do believe that my friend kara and i have pretty much moved to a barter economy and left the cash economy behind i obtained the border leicester locks in a swap with kara the locks were white and crimpy and i couldn t wait to spin them the locks had been separated but not washed if i remember correctly i think i soaked the locks in cold water for about a day i m assuming i did this to loosen things up then they got a couple of hot water soaks in a lingerie bag once they were dry i used the flick card on them and spun from the locks after working my way through the locks i only filled one bobbin and i figured hey i ll just cake this yarn up and ply it from both ends of the cake i thought i was so smart as soon as i started plying it was a disaster yes with a capital d this was a soft fuzzy yarn and those strands just wanted to grab onto one another and not let go after several curse words i stopped and cut the yarn i took what was left in the cake weighed it and made two equal weighted balls well gee wouldn t you know plying from two separate balls is easier than plying from one cake so this poor skein of yarn has quite a few knots and i only have 193 yards and when dye day rolls around it ll most likely end up in the dye pot not sure what color and no idea what i ll make with it but i m sure it ll come to me may 04 2013 bea the cvm romeldale i took up knitting a few years ago and that led to spinning on a spindle which led to spinning on wheel this in turn to led to working with raw fleece thanks shells last october i purchased a fleece off of bea a cvm romeldale from crosby hill farms i had never purchased a fleece before but i thought she looked pretty good now my friend kara shells mentioned above is really into processing fleece fleeces she really loves it i m not as enthusiastic i was willing to process some of this fleece but not all 5 81 pounds fortunately i knew about dakota fiber mill up by kindred nd i kept about a pound of the raw fleece to process myself and sent the rest up to dakota fiber mill can t recommend these folks enough was very pleased with what i got back from the mill this is almost 5 pounds of fiber waiting to be spun up now for the stuff i held back i enlisted kara s help and equipment she had built this cage to hold the locks while they were soaking in the tub kept everything safe and in place you can see some of the dirt and grease floating away from the fleece but bea must have been a prissy sheep because after only a few soaks the water was pretty clear once bea was washed and dried i hand carded the locks and formed rolags i thought i had a picture of the rolags but really once you ve seen one rolag you ve pretty much seen them all to the spinning wheel i m a novice spinner still learning techniques still learning about fiber and how it spins up this hand carded cvm romeldale was one of the first things i spun up on my majacraft rose so it s not the best looking yarn but it ll knit it looks gray in this picture but it really is more of a brown recently i found some locks i hadn t combed and kara let me use her drum carded to form some very lovely batts the cvm romeldale is a very bouncy squishy fiber even after spinning it holds it s bounce as evidenced by the picture below bea is on the left and border leicester is on the right they were both wound up on the same niddy noddy i also noticed that water seemed to bead off bea so i think this hand processed batch of bea will turn into a hat and mittens and if there s enough socks as for the stuff from the mill not sure what i ll make from that so this is bea i have other small batches of fiber waiting to be processed and will post about my experience with them here mainly to keep it all straight myself cause if i don t write this stuff down i m gonna forget it may 03 2013 feeling like a pioneer woman today i m dealing with my farmer s market purchases from yesterday the baby bok choy is chopped rinsed and in the freezer the beets are roasting and the zucchini yellow squash and tomatoes are next the basil will become pesto and the thyme and rosemary will be hung up to dry i finished two knitting projects which i ll photograph later today hopefully put a good dent in the scarf i m knitting for mom i also plan on casting on a lace scarf all this is in preparation for next weekend it s time to get back to work on the condo i plan a major thrift store crawl which hopefully will produce the perfect dining room table i m sure i ll find other treasures as well i plan on looking for an area rug for the living room another light fixture for the laundry room and paint samples to put on the wall wish me luck jul 24 2011 july 24 2011 proof that i m not waiting till the last minute to pack something tells me i m ready to get out of here although a strange thing is happening as i m packing boxes i can feel the anger building up inside me i ve finally decided it s all the paper cuts from the packing paper
