tis true

You Are 65% Left Brained, 35% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are You Right or Left Brained?

i'm up early today, ugh. i have a training from 9-12 for a committee i'm on at work. i'm exhausted. of course since i had something to do today, i couldn't sleep for crap last night.

however, last night i managed to sign myself up for 2 months of the Sweet Sheep Fiber Club. the august dyer is Funky Carolina. whoo hoo :o)

Mystery Stole 3

for some reason, blogger is not letting me type in a title.... what the frig?

anyway. went to Fiber Arts today and picked up some lovely Kid Merino for the Mystery Stole #3. i already made my swatch and it's pinned out and blocking right now. i'm not sure if i want to try size 5 needles or not. this was on size 6.

Am I Crazy????

we just got back from Orlando yesterday, and I'm catching up on all my message boards/blogs, where i find many posts about Mystery Stole #3. I was not around for #1 or #2, but boy this sounds like fun!! keeping in mind that i have my mom's bday socks to finish by aug. 1, and the two baby shower gifts by aug. 11, and well, i've never done any lace other than that on socks...... but sure~ i can use yet ANOTHER project!?!?!!

so at some point today i'm off to Fiber Arts to use the gift certificate i got for mother's day.

on another note, orlando was awesome! Blue Man Group was amazing! and thanks to dh's rather large ears, he was picked to go up on stage for part of the act :o) hahahahha, they taped elastic string and drum sticks to each ear (there were two other audience members up there too). they'd tug and pull the sticks and make "noises" from the ears. turned it into a whole song. pretty cool.

islands of adventure was fun as always. nothing new there. we also hit universal studios, which was okay, but i don't know about spending the whole day there. the Revenge of the Mummy was freakin' great~ roller coaster in the dark. it was insane!

anyway. i'm off to get some work done.

Pink Lady Roving

i bought this merino roving from Pigeon Roof Studios on etsy.com. LOVE her stuff! have two more colors in the bag waiting! look at how different these two bobbins are! the first one is overspun and inconsistent. the second is looking GORGEOUS! i can't help but stop every now and then to admire it. it's only the second batch of roving i've spun and its way improved!!

i'm short!

i'm short!

On the Needles......
