I am sitting here wishing that people would be more mindful. On a personal note it would result in less laundry and sticky floors for me to clean up after. I really hate to clean up medicine spills, that would not happen if people would just pay attention.
Outside my house I bet that there would be a lot less accidents and just maybe we would all pay less in car insurance. If people would be more mindful maybe they might just pick up after themselves. One can only hope.
Have a very mindful and happy day.
A blog about my life, my fiber arts and pictures of my finished work. I will also throw in the very occasional recipe or shopping tip.

A Rough Start and A Smooth Finish
After a rocky start I managed to get all my errands done. I also got a home cooked dinner on the table too, albeit leftovers.
Eric is happy with his new jeans. I can’t believe this is the first time since he was in size 5 slims that I bought a regular size 18 for him. He is over the moon that I bought him 5 new pairs of jeans. Truth be told, we just could not do the top button of the size 18 slims up. The 2 extra inches in the waistline should help.
I am still working on the first hand knit project for me the year. I was hoping it would be done by now. I hope to wear it Wednesday. Wish me luck.
I am calling it a night a little after 10pm. Yes I took something for the arthritis pain with dinner tonight so I am really hoping to sleep until 6am. Night all.

Pain
When am I ever going to learn that I can not sleep when the Arthritis pain is beyond being boxed up? Other than not sleeping it was a very good Sunday.

Klutz Gene
I am still waiting for the scientist to find the klutz gene and find a cure. Otherwise I will have to find a way to be less klutzy. Yes I did fall today and I am OK. Just a little sore. I don’t bounce like I use to.

Zenning and More
I am currently zenning my craft room / guest room for company later this month. I am tired of moving things from room to room when company comes and then moving the same things back. So I have gone to Costco twice for storage boxes. It is my hope that once all the extra fiber and fabric is in one place I will be more productive. Just think I can add about a month more creative time to my year.
I am also gathering knitting things that I don't need anymore and hope to sell them to other knitting guild members. My idea is to recoup some space and money. Wish me luck. They will be priced to sell.
Speaking of being productive, I managed to drop off 6 hand knit hats, 12 hand woven scarves, 1 hand knit scarf and other new clothing items to the Flowing Wells Clothing Bank. My part of today's delivery is pictured below. My friend Rita also knit 14 hats for the kids.

Sad
My first ever spinning wheel broke this morning while spinning. See the parts on the right. I hope that John can fix it. If not, i can’t even think about spinning art yarn without my Louet S15.

Alpha Testing
The alpha testing continues on John’s new 3D printed knitting accessory. I am really loving the new design. It is so portable. It traveled with me to Northern California and back. I also love giving positive feedback for changes and seeing the changes made. I also learned that .05 millimeters can make a huge difference in a 3D design. Not so much in knitting.
The engineering design work is so different than designing with fiber. It seems to require a lot more pre planning and tweaking than with fiber. Don’t tell anyone that you heard it from me, but I am learning a lot about the process. Some of this might be incorporated in my fiber design work in the near future.
Of course when the design is finished it will be sold exclusively at Grandmas Spinning Wheel here in Tucson. I will post when that happens. With pictures of course.
