The week sure went by quick. I had a lot more planned but didn't have the energy to do it. My hands are still sore from woodcarving, and so I've had to lay off the knitting and crocheting. I'm looking forward to the weekend. My daughter may visit. We'll see.

San Luis Obispo,CA


Next weekend I'm going back to San Luis Obispo to do face-painting at a company picnic. It will also be like a little summer vacation for me and boy do I need it. Anaheim is the most depressing city I've ever lived in. I'll be happy to be far far away from here, if only for a few days. I'm taking the train to and fro.

Yuccadoo



My boyfriend started making a new yuccadoo (a didgeridoo made out of yucca)and then he told me he was making it for me to paint and decorate. First he cut it in half lengthwise with a big knife. Then we scraped out the pithy interior. Then he glued it back together, sanded it, and poured a coating of Envirotex inside it to seal all the bug holes and weak spots. Then we let it dry 2 days and now I can paint the exterior. Lastly he can add the beeswax mouthpiece so it's easier to play.

Going on a trip



This weekend I hope to be traveling to the CA desert. I will probably take some of my knitting and crocheting. I'm looking forward to dancing in the wide open spaces and firing some pottery in the ground.

I ran into an old friend of mine on http://www.tribe.net and she said there is going to be a new Renaissance Faire starting in Idyllwyld, CA and she is looking for guilds to participate. I don't know the exact date and location but as soon as she knows, she'll let us know.

This weekend is the 10th Annual Gourd Art Festival in Fallbrook, CA at the Welburn Gourd Farm. See http://www.gourdfestival.com for details. I hope to be there on Sat. so if you see me please come and say hello.

What is Amigurumi?

I learned a new word this week. Amigurumi is a Japanese word for crocheted dolls and animals done in a spiral in single crochet. Also, some amigurumi are knitted. And some amigurumi are not dolls or animals, but weird things like cacti and cupcakes. I remembered how to spell the word because it starts with A mi and ends with a 'mi' and has a guru in the middle. Ami-guru-mi. If you like cute stuff you'll love amigurumi.

Why Sock Monkeys Are Better Than Men

Why sock monkeys are better than men:
1. They never try to take over the conversation.
2. They never take credit for your ideas.
3. They are happy to cuddle anytime without any expectations.
4. They will go to the ballet without complaining.
5. They are always the life of the party but never get drunk.
6. They don't care when you dance with someone else.
7. They don't hold a grudge when you ignore them for a week.
8. They like to dance with you.
9. They don't watch sports.
10. They never tell you your dress makes your butt look too big.
11. They never hog the covers.
12. They never snore."

I couldn't resist.
