ianukThings have been rather normalish. We had an exciting end to the week due to the refrigerator going on the fritz. This time it was the thermostat that needed replacing and now of course the ice maker isn't dumping ice automatically. Mel and I have been spinning away at Tour de Fleece stuff (I'm in my 2nd 4 ouce section.) Along with that I've been knitting on an amigurumi mouse that is the Craftlit Critter. He's really cute. I should have him finished tonight or so.
Over the weekend we headed to Mon's A&S tournament. Lord Wolfgang won and while there were a small amount of entries they were of good quality. Mel and I traded Benton watchin with judging and m'lady Jazz (Sifu's boss's daughter) watched him a bit too. He did not want to nap but kept running around and was crashed out on the way home and barely had dinner he was so tired. Sunday mel went into the shop and made me a new kniddy-noddy which is made of awesome.
He ended up taking two scrap pieces from the baronial throne build and glued them together with a piece of newspaper between them. After the glue was dry he chucked it up in the lathe and put the curvy bits in the ends and turned the shaft as well. He then brought the end piece inside and soaked it in water for a bit and then used a chisel to pop the glued pieces a part. It worked out perfectly.
Other than that nothing too exciting except me hitting someone's spare key in the road and puncturing the car tire on Sunday night. It fully blew when I got in the cul-de-sac so relatively painfree on the changing etc. Course mel was awesome and did it for me which was nice.
Lastly, I finished the second Thursday Next book "Lost in a Good Book" which was #13. I'm now reading #14 which is Unseen by Rachel Caine.
