A brief note from Cow-irker Gail...

My friend and cow-irker Gaily-Waily was having trouble with her LJ account, so she e-mailed this to me after the Mrobidly Inclined tour on Thursday...it was concerning the nice strangers that joined my tour that evening...

"@ 7pm on October the 23rd the MIA Captain was passing through art storage and notice a painting was missing its subject matter. The paiting with background remained but the portrait of a pale, attractive, dark-haired woman dressed all in black and her dwarf-like son dresses like eddie munster had vanished. The Captain noticed the images promptly returned @ 8pm."

I TOLD Captain Emily, and I'll tell you all again, re: the Jade Mines: HAUNTED, HAUNTED HAUNTED!!!

Even more fun with Cow-irker Gail...

...After a brief but rewarding day at the Jade Mines, I had Cow-irker Gail over for dinner, chocolate and doodling with markers. She made an adorable pumpkin card for her little niece, and I made this:


Then we goofed around in the Rainy Day Craft Room, and I showed her how the whole spinning thing works...taking the washed wool, carding it until fluffy, explaining about dyes, matching it with a fun roving or thread or weird thing, and then spun some mohair locks and sparkly bits I carded with a soft brown merino with some chocolate wool for contrast...


We started playing with fun names for yarn skeins...names like "Hobbit-foot hair" "Fairy Dust-Bunnies" "Troll's Beard" "Dumbledore's Dreadlocks" and "Satan's Chest-Hair" I think for the stuff I've got on the bobbin,"Fairy Dust-Bunnies" wins out, though I *have* to spin one called "Dumbledore's Drealocks" if it kills me...

I love hanging out with Cow-irker Gail...She is eeevil, fruit of the De-vil, and I love it...
