I took a week and a half off work to have some major dental surgery done and to have some time to recover from it. I’m doing ok – still eating soft foods. I did finally haz the cheezeburger I have been craving and it only took me 45 minutes to eat it. At least I should be losing some weight.
The weather was awesome for most of the week but even with all this time off, I did not knit one stitch. I just couldn’t focus. Instead I did some major spring cleaning… I shampooed my carpets, washed my windows, planted flowers, mowed the lawn (twice), got the house and deck power washed and cleaned out a bunch of stuff but barely made a dent in all the accumulated junk. I really need to simplify my spaces. I dyed almost 5 lbs of fiber at the studio and spun about 6 skeins of various yarns. So I guess you can say I was productive while I was out.
At least I am getting some stuff together for vending at the Squam Lake Art Fair on June 6th from 7:30pm until 9pm at the Rockywold-Deephaven Camps in Holderness, NH (directions here) – the fair will be held in building #67 – DEEPHAVEN DINING ROOM (map of the camp here). Following this there will be a ravelry party. So if you are up in NH, near Squam Lake plan to come by and party with Brian, myself and other Ravelers. It should be loads of fun.

That is grandson Aidan’s 2nd BD party, but I might be able to con/convince/bribe hubby to let me have a detour afterwards. I have a lovely lot of spun wool that begs colorizing and I have you in mind for that!

Is it a Spring Thing, wanting to simplify our lives? Or is it a (cough, cough) time of life that makes us want less, and to see the accumulation as the junk it truly is? I’d like to tip the house on end, give it a shake, sell everything that falls into the yard, and start anew.
Glad to hear you’re eating again, but sorry that the recovery is so seemingly slow.

Glad you are feeling a little better. Send some of that spring cleaning mojo over here, would you? I could definitely use it.
