Misc. Tuesday

1. I had just replaced the liner in the waste basket, so naturally, Tyr had to jump in and hang out for a while.
2. Over the 4th of July weekend, my sisters and I stopped in at a flea market.  We found a cache of truly dreadful horror movies and I couldn't resist buying one.  "Fast Zombies with Guns" was a title too hilarious to pass up.  I probably won't ever watch it since it will undoubtedly be bad, bad, bad.
3. I found a couple of places in SW Michigan where I can pick concord grapes.  I want to make jelly, grape juice and possibly raisins.  Picking won't be until around the middle of September.
4. My veggie plants currently have ripening a purple pepper, a tomato and a handful of green beans.  I have lots of blossoms on all the plants but so far that's it.
5. I'm working on spinning my 4th or 5th ounce of silk hankies, I've lost track of which.  Hopefully, when I'm done, I'll have enough to finish the silk shirt/sweater I'm knitting.
6. Maker Faire Detroit is this weekend.  I'll be volunteering to teach spinning to anyone interested.  If you volunteer, you get into the Faire for free.  The tickets are $35 apiece, hence the volunteering,
7. Hopefully, Sunday morning I'll be picking blueberries.  I want to make jam and freeze the rest.  I just hope they're open and not picked out.
   
8. I'm about to dive back into tie-dyeing.  Just as soon as the supplies I ordered arrive.  I could have sworn I still had some dyes left but I can't find them.  I must have gotten rid of them during the great Purge of 2012.
9. Going to bed now.  I'm not allowed to pick up a book or my tablet lest I read until midnight.  Man, I miss summer vacation and reading 'til 1:00am.  This whole "Adult" thing can really be a drag.
