When's lunch? 

Brenden, done with lunch 

Tuck, at home! 

spinning

so...I've spent my day spinning thread on my drop spindle. It is amazing to me the amount of thread I can produce in a day. I can completely fill a spindle in a matter of minutes. Well, I suppose that's an exageration, probably about 45 minutes. It does however make it clear to me that medieval women must have spent LOTS of time spinning in order to spin and weave enough to clothe a family.
amazing

my website

Hi--In my first post I have a typo in my website address...

drop by for a visit!

Our family...what am I doing with my hand 

Tuck, our Shetland Sheepdog

Tuck at 6 weeks

This is Tuck, our Shetland Sheepdog. We haven't brought him home yet, but we can hardly wait.

potty training

Boy--potty training is an interesting thing. My 2 1/2 year old son, Brenden is in the middle of potty training. Who would ever have guessed that I'd call my husband at work to have Brenden tell him..."I poop in the potty."

I have a performance that I'm getting ready for in Wessington Springs on August 15. I'll be doing stuff from both my CDs and maybe more. Makes me nervous thinking about it, but excited too. I have an easy time with the actual performance, singing is easy, it's the CD sales that are harder. I don't think I have the greatest sales line yet. I need to work on that clearly.

Wish I was going to Pennsic, too bad! I am going to Northshield's coronation though. I can't wait. I'm going to be doing the Laurel Prize Competition. If you don't know about SCA...check it out. http://www.northshield.org/

Plus on the 14th we're going to get Tuck, our new Shetland Sheepdog. You can see a picture here at the bottom of the page. http://www.thomaswpshelties.4t.com/photo4.html Isn't Tuck cute! He's the second picture from the bottom.
