Domestic Goddess

[affreca]

Went for the loom and spinning wheel on Craigslist. I ended up offering 3/4 of what the seller originally asked for. The seller accepted my offer, provided I took everything and promised to use and love it all. Saturday afternoon I get to pick up a 36" four frame Nilus Leclerc jack loom, bobbin shuttles, rug shuttles, spare heddles, a weaving book, a dozen cones of yarn, a warping board, a niddy noddy, a yarn plier, a bobbin winder (woot!), an Art Knitter knitting machine, an Ashford single treadle spinning wheel (double woot! what I was actually searching craigslist for, looks like the Traveler model), fabric sample books and a yarn sample book. Went to the bank today to pick up the cash. When I got home, there was a check from my grandparents that covers a good portion of the cost. Solstice gift for me. I'm so excited.

Now I've got a turkey roasting in the oven. This is only the second time I've roasted a turkey, and the first time by myself. After three days I got annoyed with waiting for it to thaw and stuck it under water so I could fish out the giant block of ice in the cavity. To lazy to make mashed potatoes. Tomorrow, maybe.
