Happy weekend gone by
Feb. 9th, 2004 12:11 pmThis weekend was a really good one, once I was able to get out of bed on the right side and not be so grumpy in the morning. ;)
Saturday we took our taxes in and got them done, then went and did a mountain of grocery shopping.
Sunday we had a really nice lunch with old friends and then we went ice skating. Matt got his new skates fitted on Saturday and they finished water-proofing them at 4pm yesterday. I went out on the ice for the first time in 20 years, and didn't do so badly, no falls and kind of got the hang of the feet movement for the basic "go forward and don't fall over" move. Matt was skating backwards and using his toepicks to stop, I'm still running into the walls. ;)
Today I worked on putting some CD's up for sale on Amazon, not everything was listed in their database, so have to find someplace local to sell some of them.
Still working on the tablet weaving, the tension gets all wonky from using the backstrap tensioning, so I really want to get one of these looms, as a couple of folks on the SCA-Card Weaving list say they are easy to change over from rigid heddle to tablet, and they keep the tension nice. Its also about $100 cheaper than any of the looms that are specifically made for card weaving, which is a major plus.
The sun is slowly coming out of the fog, hopefully it'll get bright enough for clothing picture taking today.
