One hump or two?

Els, THe one I talked about was James Gordon, and the song was "Gypsy Sock". Absolutely hilarious!

Higs, Katherine

No, you are not the only packrat! I think that it goes with being a knitter! ANd you do so many other crafts, so you must be an even bigger packrat!

Higs, Katherine

LOL

Higs, Katherine

I remember that jacket! Did we ever see a picture of it?

Higs, Katherine

I will find that out in September!

Higs, Katherine (looking forward to living in a clutter-free zone!)

Shelagh, it has been damp and rainy here. No it is not me, I am always over heated, ha, ha....the thermostat has gone off. Still it was cold enough that we had the wood stove on just to take the chill off.

I have indeed a box full of odds and ends cleaned up. Things I had saved for future use, stuff that takes up space, and clutters not only the storage space, but the mind as well. Projects that never come off the drawing board. For now my broom is sweeping clean...LOL

PS I tried to sent this as a new posting but for now, It will not let me post any new one, that is why I made it a PS here. Sorry, everyone, did not want to confuse the subject line.

Old rope factory

We watched a crazy movie yesterday evening, with one of my favorite movie stars Nathan Lane. The movie is Mouse Hunt. We took it out from the library. The wonderful surprise was the old rope making factory. I will look at it again today just to see the workings of this factory. The machinery was most ingenious, One of the machines wound up round balls of string, absolutely amazing. I would have loved wandering around that factory, and wonder if anyone here knows where this movie was filmed. Maybe Google can answer that question for me. The film was a big laugh and fun to watch. The mouse was the master for sure.

You may not need a lot of tools but I don't have any of those things you mentioned; and I wouldn't have space to store them if I got them. I did have a blender for several years but got rid of it because it was taking up space and hardly being used. Plus I don't have the work space I would need. I would just like to know how to do it at your place. LOL

Thank you Katherine, I have to see if I can find it this time around.

Els

Yes that seems to be the problem.. I was good today, a brough a large box of Stuff to the Sally Ann, it is a split level building and you drive to the back, up the hill and drop off your donations. I get out of the car and do that, Otto drives around to building and back to the front, I walk into the back and browse...Ha, ha, Bought 20 balls of creamy yellow crochet cotton to weave with. The brand name is Royal Society, I have never heard of before. Inside the ball of fine cotton is a little scrap of paper with a pattern for crocheting edgings for tea towels and handkerchiefs. My impression of this mercericed cotton is that it is years old. It is lovely stuff and I am sure it will get used in a warp. I bought a Bakers (brandname) Chocolate cookbook, sorry food again. I also got two small glass bottles for sorting the beads, I cleaned up, and a huge type of tea egg, for herbs. I use these for natural dyeing, it will hold the dyestuff neatly separated from the yarn. Otto laughed when I came out of the story on the lower level, with a huge bag full of stuff. Mumbeled under his breath what goes around comes around. Ha, ha. Folks do not clean your cupboards, you will end up with more stuff etc.

Els

If you do a search for James Gordon, you should be able to find it. Good luck!

Higs, Katherine

No because it never got made from that silk. Instead I made it from some hand printed material, from India, I bought from Maiwa in Vancouver. That jacket you have seen if you looked at Gemini's website with all the RCTY faces. Since I do not see Gemini here, I take it she is with the Yahoo group.

Els

will it stay that way....LOL

Els

OK you have an invite. You can always go to Seattle from here. I will set up the workshop around your arrival... We have lots of space, so you can stay over if you wish and meet up with your travel group via Vancouver Island Ball is in your court Jan....LOL

Els

Our Sally Ann stopped taking things. They have just lost their rented space, so until they find a new location, there is nowhere to donate.

Higs, Katherine

Ah, yes, I have seen it.

Higs, Katherine

Yeah

OH, I hope so!

Higs, Katherine

Oh Katherine that is bad, maybe you can let them have part of your house, just to have them around for a while until they find a new place. LOL

Els

we will and come and peek around the corner, just to make sure. LOL

Els

I got mostly novels. It was dollar-a-bag day, so I got about a dozen books. Most of them will go to the thrift shop after I've read them. One or two I will probably keep.
