Flying up side up

Flying up side up
All wobbly like
An old biplane crashes
Like a chick takes flight
Not at all like the phoenix.

Friday!

I am really thankful that its Friday and I will be able to relax in the next couple days.  I am going to start volunteering at the Center for Wooden Boats tomorrow in hopes that I will get to learn to sail for free!  I know that they give a discount based on how many hours you donate so my plan is to cut it down to $0!  I am also going to try to get my son out and sailing as they start youth sailing classes at 10 years old and I think it would be a great thing for him to build skills and bolster a belief in his own capabilities.  I'll keep you posted!

What with classes, car breakdowns, and work on "this side thing" I have going on, I haven't been spinning too much this past week, so I am hoping to get more of that done as well.  Merritt is working on my niddy noddy which will definitely come in handy!  He is a very experienced wood worker and I am excited to see the finished product.  

have a safe weekend!

Its the weekend! WOOT!

Lots going on this weekend!  Going to a movie tonight and tomorrow, Sandy is taking me sailing with one of her friends.  He is a boat builder up in Bellingham and was generous enough to offer.  I have always had an interest in learning to sail, and am really excited about it.
I have also been doing some spinning.  My friend Merritt is making me a niddy noddy to set the twist of the new yarn and I am going to knit it into a hat I am making for a friend of mine who has a self-described "large melon!" (You know who you are!)  It has been quite a while since I had done any spinning, so the first few yards are slubby.
