Happy Dance

Things are looking up !
Fiber Arts Bloggers have moved to a new home. Now, maybe some of the sites that haven't been used in a few years or so will be gone. Not being critical, more of a comment. It was hard to go through all the blogs to find things that were still current. I know I don't always post, but I keep trying!

Things are also better at work, less tension. My boss had been favoring his secretary with better working conditions, better salary etc...kind of a Pygmalion thing going on, Gack ! I am very easy going, but it was getting to everyone and morale was really sad ! Dysfunction Junction...
I am the senior person, but she got the raise....what can I say. Difficult to work under those conditions.

So, with the advent of spring and the old body feeling better, I am planning to play catch-up with things I have not been able to get to. I have fleeces to prepare, dyeing to get to and this summer my oldest wants to learn how to dye ! I have to encourage the addiction , I mean interest, while she still spends summers at home.
She has joined Ravelry...really started to knit in earnest and I think will get back to spinning as well. I finally convinced her to take her knitting back to school with her after winter break. Low and behold...she discovered what I had been saying all along (silly moms..they don't know anything!)...people stopped making fun of her and wanted her to make all the necessary winter accessories for them ( after all, this is the real upstate NY ! ) as well as socks. She told me the semester was better, because she was happier doing things she enjoys doing, outside of studies, as well as keeping an excellent grade point average!
You go girl !
So, we will journal the summer events as soon as she gets home.

I also just ordered a laptop, as it is hard for me to sit a a table or desk for a long stretch of time. I have to keep my legs elevated much of the time, so I can sit on the couch or on the bed and not worry about the circulation (or lack thereof) in my legs. So, blogging etc..will be much easier for me.
May your spring be all you were hoping for all winter !
