Holiday Weekend in Review

This last weekend was busy.
On Friday I opened up our new wheel. Review is on the latest podcast.
I got it all put together

Wheel w/ driveband on

and started spinning some BFL I had picked up on the last trip

First Spin

On Saturday we recorded the podcast and relaxed around the house.
Sunday we had some friends pop oer, so a quick clean up of the house was in order, then Sarge headed out to paint the shed. The community had given us a deadline to get it painted by this weekend, so it had to be done.

You can see the ugly green it used to be. It did not match our house.

Monday was the Fourth and as tradition here, we had a dinner picnic at the channel before the firworks are set off.

The musical fountain went off and the fireworks were wonderful.

Today I finished the yarn I started on Friday.

The yarn and little Bear are both gorgeous, not that everyone else isn't too! (but they sparkle) and I love the earmuffs!

That yarn is fantastic! Miss P has a headset just like that. It works great!
