Life has been pretty good to me lately.  The Paypal fiasco finally got cleared up, but I’m still not using them.  They missed out on the 800.00 I just spent.  I made the merchants use their credit card merchant account instead of Paypal.  I hate to be *that* bitch, but I hate Paypal more.

Then, while I’m still all giddy about my new wheel and drum carder, my husband tells me he wants to buy me a new laptop, something more suitable for all the graphics work I do.    Well.  Ok then.  Like I’m going to turn down a new laptop.  Really though, he just wants mine so he has a laptop at the house to fuck off on since he doesn’t like to do that sort of thing on his work laptop.  That’s fine.  I can live with his ulterior motives.  He’s marvelous, of course!

I also scored some roving, about 5 lbs worth, from a woman on Craig’s List.  It’s really nice stuff, good for practice, but it did have some moth larvae in it.  Ugh.  not too many, maybe a dozen or so in the entire batch, but I’m not taking any chances.  It’s in sealed bins right now with moth balls.  I’ll just gas the little fuckers.

Speaking of moths…I got half a pound of tussah silk as a bonus for buying my drum carder.  It is HEAVEN to spin.  I’ve always liked silk, but spinning it is its own bliss.  I feel mild guilt over killing the larvae.  Not enough to make me want to stop using it though.  Silk is pure lusciousness.   I can’t wait to start blending it with other fibers and dyeing it.  Jat says this new obsession of mine is just because I need more excuses for not finishing socks.  Haha.

I have a lot of  new yarns I need to add to my Ravelry stash.  I wish that damn site would go public already.  I really want to be able to link to my stash.  Plus then I could share the hilarity that is the LSG group.  Imagine a whole group of people with my exact sense of humor and gift for crossing the line.  It’s like that.

I have pictures that I’ve actually uploaded to flickr, but I’m too lazy to link to them.
