O Hai, Me Again

The last post I wrote was in June. July was almost a complete write-off for me because I was lucky enough to get pneumonia. I don’t get sick often, so when the cold was going around the weekend I had guests, I wasn’t worried about it. I seemed to get over it in just a couple of days, but my cough kept getting worse. I couldn’t figure it out. Within a couple of days I was coughing so badly I could barely breathe and I felt like my ribs were going to break. The doctor confirmed pneumonia and got me on some inhalers and antibiotics. I am just so glad no one else got it. It took me the whole month to get over it and I still have a bit of a cough, but doctors say I’m not contagious and it’s safe to make out with me now. Ha ha.

Alex is having a great summer fooling around with his guitar, going to taekwondo and occasionally babysitting. Jeremy is working on storyboarding a pilot for TNT and was treated to a business trip to LA so he could get a head start with the director. And that’s why I have this video:

Now that I can breathe without an inhaler and have enough strength to pick up a wet noodle, I’ve gotten back to prepping for the K-W Knitter’s Fair. I’m terrified I’m not going to have enough time to prepare enough stock! Whatever…I will go with whatever I have and do the best I can. Wish me luck!

Hey, it’s Spring!

Long time no see! I’ve been away from the blog for a little while but I’ve been mostly keeping up online and I’ve been on Twitter and Ravelry. I took a little break from the business as well, but right now I’m working hard on dyeing up some goodies for Lisa at The Naked Sheep. I won’t be going to this year’s Knitter’s Frolic but Lisa will have lots of my yarn and fibre for sale at their booth, so if you’ll be there, please stop by and check it out!

Some spinners on Flickr have been posting videos of how they spin, so I thought I’d add mine to the mix. I’m using my Lendrum and spinning some superwash merino.

We got a Flip!

Here’s another video of Jonah. I’m going to try to not totally make this about the cats, so I also uploaded a video of the view from the car while we were driving on the highway. This Flip thing is a really fun toy. I’m quite impressed with the quality of short movie it takes in all kinds of light and we’re getting a real kick out of it. It’s got a 2 GB hard drive and can record up to 60 minutes of video, perfect for when your cat does something cute and you just have to show the internet!

As it turns out, YouTube compresses videos horribly! The quality of the one I uploaded to Flickr is much better. Here’s a comparison:
