What's On My Hooks, Needles, and Spindles:
Not yet finished:
The OHM Shawl by Michelle Miller
4 repeats of the C chart are now done, but I am taking a break to make...
Socks!
Just plain ole vanilla socks from some Regia in DK weight that I had hanging around. I needed the simplicity.
Finished:
The Boneyard Shawl --not yet blocked. Still.
Still in Progress:
Bears for the Mother Bear Project--my 13 bears in 2013 project continues with Bears 30-32.
Dizzy Blondes:
I continue spinning the 12 oz of the fiber dyed for the last CFR by Desert Vista Dyeworks....
but I also got myself a new Schacht Sidekick wheel for traveling and...
Strategy:
When asked to change a problem, do you block new ideas with reasons why they cannot work or do you offer alternatives?
Put a Lid On It:
Home made Thousand Island salad dressing...mmmmmm...
4 parts mayo to 1 part catsup, then add:
minced parsley
minced green onion
minced boiled egg
minced stuffed green olives
To taste, but it is also in the Joy of Cooking
Something I Really Like:
Calphalon Immersion 2-in-1 blender--the mincing bowl attachment
Blather:
CFR news, as always.
Stolen segment...again. A Cognitive Strategy?
The Gigi Shawl (pictured above).
Eleanor the Collie has adopted us. The latest QME is done, but a death in the family has knocked us off-track a bit...

The OHM Shawl by Michelle Miller
Yes, I did do a slight redesign to the first chart.
Finished:
The Boneyard Shawl --not yet blocked:

Bears for the Mother Bear Project--my 13 bears in 2013 project continues with Bears 30-32.

...used it to spin 4.8 ounces of my own alpaca Rashida's clip from last year:

Nothing cooking right now.

What's On My Hooks, Needles, and Spindles:
Blocked:
The Tehachapi Project Shawl.
Finished:
The Boneyard Shawl --not yet blocked:
Still in Progress:
Bears for the Mother Bear Project--my 13 bears in 2013 project continues with Bears 30-32.
Dizzy Blondes:
I am cheerfully spinning the 12 oz of the fiber dyed for the last CFR by Desert Vista Dyeworks.
Strategy:
Be your own advocate, whether it is for your mental health or your physical health. Sad but true, health services here in America is overloaded, so the patient has to stay on her toes.
Put A Lid On It:
Berry jellies and jams, some pickled beets, and pickled green beans with red peppers.
Canning season has rolled in, here in southern CA.
Something I Really Like:
My Ipad Mini. Unexpected love.
Blather:
CFR news, as always.
Retirement--in very slow stages.
Eleanor, the Collie of my childhood dreams:
CFR5: Five Peaches Walk into a Bar... is on its way!

Dr Gemma, version 2013 retired, Beta
Retirement is interesting. I seem to have less time right now, instead of more.
On the bright side, paying off debt is completed. I've moved into the phase of doing needed repairs and phasing myself out of the contracting work.
I'd love to move into the phase of posting an episode and actually knitting!
