Fiberaddict's Fiber Fumblings

are updated on the website!

They're all on the weaving page.

I also did some rearranging on the other pages, added text, added pics to link on the spinning page......just housecleaning-type stuff.

Enjoy!!

Well, I've been busy today! Uploaded more pictures to the website - feel free to go wander around!

Updated pages:

the dog house Yeah, I added more of the Zoey-monster. Someone take my camera away!

the sock machine page Finally - pictures of that elusive beast!

the weaving studio A glimpse inside my very messy studio

the construction diary Finally got a decent shot of my front door!

the knitting page Took the time to get pictures of most of the stuff I've knit.....still need to find the rest, though.

I'm going to try to knit after lunch - I'm almost at the point I need to start the sleeves. We'll see if I succeed...the web is calling me....

Whee! I spent some time this morning updating my webpage - I added some pictures, re-worded some things, and even added a new page.

A lot of people had asked me about the Zoeymonster and our other canine family members....so I figured it was about time they had their own page on the WWW. *g*

For a straight link, go here

The pics are a bit old, though - they were taken in April when Zoey had just arrived. She's grown...a lot....since then.

I also found a link to the bestest site in Texas!!! The Elissa has found a port on the WWW - here (OK, so she's been there for a while, but I just discovered her website yesterday). If you have any interest in maritime history, any love of sailing or naval lore, you have *got* to visit her when you are in Texas. Seriously - she is absolutely awesome. (For those not "in the know", the Elissa is an 1877 iron barque that has been restored to *sea-worthiness*. It's an on-going restoration, but you can visit her and even board her when she's in port. Her sea-trials are usually held in March, and she's usually in port the rest of the time waiting for visitors.)

She is totally alive - it's cool. She's not a reproduction, she's the real thing - her hull is almost all original, as are some of the fittings. If you remember the Statue of Liberty's 100 b-day, the Elissa was there - it was the first time Elissa had seen her; the last time she was in New York was 5 years before Lady Liberty arrived. That puts things in perspective, huh?

I have to laugh - the first time I visited her (in the early '90s), I went down to the captain's quarters...and lost it. I had read *way* too many bodice-rippers involving pirate captains chasing innocent heroines around his ship's cabin.....yeah, right. There's maybe 5 square feet of open space to be chased in. *g*. Guess the author's haven't actually visited a real tallship, huh?

Anyway, if you plan on being in Texas, please consider adding a visit to Galveston Island to your itinerary. She's in Pier 21 (I think; I *know* where she is, but not the pier number) and is a great stop for kids, too.

I need to work more on the sweater, so that's it for now...more later though - I'm bored!

I'm so proud of myself - I have managed to embed this journal into my webpage. OK, so yeah, the frame is too big, and I can't figure out how to add the nifty link buttons, but hey - it's on my webpage!

Maybe there's someone out there that reads my meanderings that is websavvy and can offer some advice? I'm clueless here....
