Just returned from Black Sheep Gathering. Not horrible but  little disappointing profit wise. The peg looms are still having their day. sold out of 36″ and have 5 orders at home. He’s got orders and contractor work to do here, too, and is gone off this morning with Search & Rescue to find a lost person. He’s their tracker.

Katt was happy to see us. He escaped from the cage twice before we left. We gave up and let him stay outside. A neighbor came over and fed him. He did lose some weight having to share with the Jay who found his food bowl under the porch bench. Dc. Spencer was kind and did not charge me for having to cancel at the last minute. We’ll bring the cage in a few days before leaving next time so he’ll get used to it and not panic when he sees it coming out. I understand some cats will go in the travel cage on their own but I’ve never had one of those.

Brought a lot of canning jars home from Rosy’s stash. I can use some of them but a lot will likely go to the Farmers Market. Our garden is pretty meager this year. We did not get it going very promptly  this spring. Partly the weather and partly our schedule, and to be honest, partly because we kept putting stuff off.

So theoretically I have July, August and most of September to get ready for the fall shows. Have no classes at OFFF this year, I guess they didnt’ like my offerings. but have 3 at Lambtown! Hope I’m up to that! lol One is an all day weaving lace class. I think that’s going to be fun. I also promised several people that I’d try to get a book of pattern stitches for the looms done this summer. Don’t hold your breath but I really will try to get that done. I need an advisor as I tend to get right to the point and so my books are short and not very pretty.  There’s always a bunch of stuff before the books get around to the main topic. I guess that’s the part I need. Well, as I said, I’ll try.

Picked peas last evening when we got home.  There’s a nice ‘mess’. which we’ll have for dinner tonight. It’s going to be hot today and Very hot for the nest couple before it cools a little. However, Himself got hot last night and pulled the 2nd blanket off the bed. I woke about 3 am freezing! It only got down to 53 last night so I guess freezing is a bit of an exaggeration, but I was cold. I got up and closed my bedroom window but it didn’t help much. finally gave it up about 5:30 and got up.

I carried my camera along this trip but never thought to use it. Truck and trailer made it up and back with no surprises this time. I did get the kitchen cotton patchwork shirt finished and wore it in the booth. It was quite popular. I did weave those ends in first, tho!

We sold Rosy’s Schacht Matchless double treadle spinning wheel and her Duncan carder. The Duncan’s were at BSG and the buyer took it over to him and Mr. Duncan went over it and tightened everything up and put on a new belt. I thanked him later and he said he just wanted to make sure they kept working. A nice elderly couple. Is that PIC* coming from me?! lol

*I’m learning to speak text… this means Politically InCorrect.

That’s todays news, not very exciting but more exciting then the rest of my day which will start with vacuuming, I think, then unloading the trailer. I was hoping he’d  undertake that but I expect he’s going to be gone the rest of today looking for the lost guy.  But I hope your 4th is going to be fun, safe, and (however unlikely) cool!
