And having a grand old time doing it. So far everyone who has seen my first leash have been very complimentary towards it. Unfortunately, leash number two turned out to be a learning lesson. I love the saying I chose, but the initial lettering turned out to be too elaborate (in my opinion) to read. And I also learned that there are no short cuts with tablet weaving. It is essential to chart out your lettering before you begin. I should have known better, but I was in too be a rush to get started. Live and Learn!</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm also seriously considering moving my blog. For quite a while I have not been happy with how Blogger uploads pictures. And with all the things I hope to be sharing soon, I need a much easier way to share my pics.</div><div><br /></div><div>When and if I do move, I'll make sure to let you all know.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's it for now.

WTF! It seems like just yesterday I had a job, and was looking forward to a nice summer. Now here I am, over one month unemployed. Not sure what my future will hold. And not even able to wrap my head around most decisions that I need to make. I'll get there, hopefully by August.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I've made major progress on the latest "Card/Tablet Woven Band" I was working on. I'm really proud of my advances. I've finally figured out the "two pack turning method". And it's much easier than the way I was doing it before. I'm hoping to be ready to make an actual leash by the weekend. I won't to practice/test a few more patterns I found on the net, and I also need to test several alphabets to find one I like.</div><div><br /></div><div>I wanted to make a short video of myself weaving, but unfortunately I have yet to figure out where to potion the camera so I don't block the view of the process. I'll keep working at it and I'll post it when I'm done.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The 4th of July is coming up and I have no plans. I know my aunt will call and invite me over, she always does (and I love her for it). But I think I'm going to stay home and chill with my little Harley.</div><div><br /></div><div>Speaking of Harley, I shouldn't really call him little. Our lack of exercise over the winter is showing in his fat body. It's so funny to know that he was the runt of his littler, and now he's the largest of all his brothers and sister. No matter to me though! He'll always be my little man.</div><div><br /></div><div>Have a great safe holiday!</div>Shortyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01951373559852173240noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28190509.post-35633000344517388972009-06-26T15:13:00.003-04:002009-06-26T15:38:57.640-04:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I WENT TO THE ZOO...</span></span></span><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div>and all I can say is, "I had a great time!!!"</div><div><br /></div><div>My good friend S. got tickets for us through her work union, and we were grateful. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkIxnxqeWUFrHkXLQftVaunL2ux9R-dJTHgHzdOjiAdnir6Rlka0oS-nzQIPoieFemb2eteK3-9PJ1ix5bFh-HfL0hSvI9tXQDeySSVPyaIB1IvXpN8LfLCu4BP43_op1z6xl90A/s1600-h/DSC02567.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

It was so cool! The butterfly house and bird sanctuary housed some gorgeous colorful animals. And the some of the animals were much more active than I would have thought they would have been. It was one of the hottest days we've had so far this year. So needless to say, we got in early, enjoyed as much as we could, and left before it got too crowded. It was a great outing!

I guess I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am un-employed. I am in the process of trying to narrow down what type of computer classes I want to take.

It has not been easy being un-employed, but thanks to the love and support from my family and friends it hasn't been as hard as it could have been.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I've been practicing my tablet band weaving quite a bit, but I still have yet to feel successful at it.

But I'm going to do it anyway.</div><div><br /></div><div>Life has been slowly but surely beating me down the last few months. And though I've tried to put on a happy face and deal with it, I've reached the point where I need to break down so I can try to let it all go.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">(forewarning: this is going to be an extreme pity post. stop reading now if you don't want to hear it. I completely understand!)</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>A very good friend is in the midst of a health crisis. And I've been thinking about her a lot lately. I hope to be able to be there for her in any and every way I possibly can.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have also been sick more than I have been well this year. I've had cold, after cold, after cold. Some were worse than others. Several episodes laid me out completely for a couple of days. Unfortunately, more often than not, I had to suffer through these colds at work because I couldn't afford not to go to work and risk loosing my job. As has been the case with a lot of people I work with, which is probably why I kept getting sick in the first place.</div><div><br /></div><div>Speaking of work: the news there has gone from bad to worse really fast. We started the year with my job being downsized and I got bumped to a new position. I was glad to be able to stay on day shift, but had a really hard time getting used to doing a more physical job. I did pretty good at getting used to it, and was even beginning to enjoy it, then BAM! The announcement that our whole plant is being shut down permanently, and our jobs are being shipped to Mexico and the companies other plant here in MI.</div><div><br /></div><div>The really confusing, sucky thing about this to me is, my new job had been created to supplement the fact that our Mexico facility couldn't keep up with their production requirements. I wish someone could explain that mentality to me. If they couldn't keep up with the partial workload they had, why would you give them all the work. I'll tell you why, at least in my opinion, because you could pay them (Mexican work force) a third of what you pay us. Money is always the bottom line isn't it!</div><div><br /></div><div>For years we produced and recorded record profits for our company, but that wasn't enough. They (company executives) wanted more, under the guise of what was constantly called being competitive in the "Global Market". So a year ago we went on strike for 89 days to try to maintain some form of fair wage and got shafted. Not only by our company, but also by our union representatives. And now they are doing it to us one last time. Our company has been fighting to re-open the contract they agreed to last year to get more concessions from us. And without the workers ever being able to speak on the issue, our union representatives decided to fight to the death. And the announcement of that death came two days ago. It is over and we are done! As of May 8th over 500 more workers will be out of work. Needless to say we lost everything!</div><div><br /></div><div>I am much more fortunate than most of the people I work with. As a single woman with no children, my survival will be easier than most. It's going to be hard, but not impossible. This companies shifting it's business to Mexico is a major loss for the workers here, for the city the plant was located in (especially the businesses that relied on us as their customer base), for the state that already has documented the highest rate of un-employment in the US, and for the country as a whole.</div><div><br /></div><div>I would never have thought that after fourteen years I would be over forty and out of work. But here I am. Some people think things may still change, but I'm not holding out any false hope. This has been our CEO's agenda for quite some time, and I don't think he is going to change it now that it's actually become a probability.</div><div><br /></div><div>Since I'm sure I have bored/ranted/and whined long enough for most of you to tolerate. I'm going to shut up now, take some meds for my pounding headache, and go back to bed.</div><div><br /></div><div>Pray for the future of us all! We are all going to need it!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Shortyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01951373559852173240noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28190509.post-22069317443179034282009-04-27T18:00:00.000-04:002009-04-27T18:02:15.788-04:00<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCkcpUTbzOaA0thEoBy8h7kWeAA8Ooj-AJnHOQvE32VU2ogc0ydMz6qxwzN2wbnRe_uvJXe06GUyr_77VBb_IWbWvw0ILiRrw1ZmBxNu31sM1q-Z5Af6FRBsqahZxGUyoBW6Cq9w/s1600-h/0427091756-735790.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCkcpUTbzOaA0thEoBy8h7kWeAA8Ooj-AJnHOQvE32VU2ogc0ydMz6qxwzN2wbnRe_uvJXe06GUyr_77VBb_IWbWvw0ILiRrw1ZmBxNu31sM1q-Z5Af6FRBsqahZxGUyoBW6Cq9w/s320/0427091756-735790.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329494934567816610" /></a></p>The Leyburn #1 is finally done.

I know I shouldn't be happy about this fact, with the state of the economy and my industry especially, but I am glad. The stress level has been almost unbearable, and the break will do me good. I hope.</div><div><br /></div><div>This lay-off also means another really important thing to me. More knitting time with my friends. When my schedule was changed to 10hrs/4days I had a really hard time finding the time and energy to get together with my friends. So I've got loads of catching up to do.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was also told that the changes they were going to be making will start when we get back. I had been really worried about that too. I was afraid I was going to be bumped out of my current group and/or shift. Both would not have been good things. Luckily, not only do I get to stay on my shift, but I also get to stay in my group. Unfortunately not on my job, but I'll still be with the people I have been working with for over 10 years. The one down side was my best work friend did get bumped to second shift. And I will miss her terribly.</div><div><br /></div><div>All this being said, I'm doing my best to stay positive about everything that is happening or will happen in the future. I keep telling myself, "AT LEAST I STILL HAVE A JOB!!!" No matter how much it drives me crazy most of the time.</div><div><br /></div><div>There will hopefully be loads of posts during the next two weeks.

It started Monday afternoon when I came home from work and found that I had no power. Four days, and a lot of praying later, my power was finally up and running Thursday morning. Luckily, there were no lingering side affects of the power outage.</div><div><br /></div><div>My work UFO turned into a completely new project, thanks to Harley and a needle run. But I'm actually happier with the new sock, than I think I would have been with the previous one.</div><div><br /></div><div>To say this was a cold week, would be a grave understatement of fact. Several evenings found our temps in the negative. And the wind chill pushed us into double digit negatives. Brrrrr!</div><div><br /></div><div>Friday we got word that we will be off all next week. And when we return to work the company is trying the 10 hour a day 4 day work week. I hope they can get it right this time. I truly enjoyed having three day weekends. It allowed me much more free time to spend with my knitting friends. And I hope to be able to spend time with them again.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope everyone has a great week. I'm looking forward to the Inauguration on Tuesday, and loads of knitting and fiber time with friends.</div><div><br /></div><div>Happy knitting, spinning, crocheting and crafting of all kinds.</div>Shortyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01951373559852173240noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28190509.post-7632775127492845802009-01-14T13:00:00.001-05:002009-01-14T13:00:41.787-05:00<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCkRdSa_WUEansooE3U2ARWMx4-PpwTJ9Wv5cUMJnUdrzOsvfVTLJGe3RqyIA4iOcCKVV519RcwrJMIVZCcepLl51zkUFzFAuUlpnM0mLAyIzsufSGCW3u9kZf2QZ-tuYY43yLDg/s1600-h/0114091259-741789.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCkRdSa_WUEansooE3U2ARWMx4-PpwTJ9Wv5cUMJnUdrzOsvfVTLJGe3RqyIA4iOcCKVV519RcwrJMIVZCcepLl51zkUFzFAuUlpnM0mLAyIzsufSGCW3u9kZf2QZ-tuYY43yLDg/s320/0114091259-741789.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291210906746692194" /></a></p>Making progress.Shortyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01951373559852173240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28190509.post-102000486126422452009-01-12T12:35:00.001-05:002009-01-12T12:35:43.871-05:00FROM UFO TO NEW PROJECT<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLsKffeMRANua7qk9eDtyVTfPgk4xIvvmwvjj7XPlY2kpyysgoiLBVdC_dLe0fb3Fzvn1kBN3LTA8eAdCtO54r2mwDyjxJtU7iLRmzf82Cy4YbrLs-aztXqwLip9Ns1ETWEnY-Zg/s1600-h/0112091217-743873.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLsKffeMRANua7qk9eDtyVTfPgk4xIvvmwvjj7XPlY2kpyysgoiLBVdC_dLe0fb3Fzvn1kBN3LTA8eAdCtO54r2mwDyjxJtU7iLRmzf82Cy4YbrLs-aztXqwLip9Ns1ETWEnY-Zg/s320/0112091217-743873.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290462302000634690" /></a></p>Thanks to my little guy this weeks work UFO has turned into a new project.<p>Somehow Harley managed to get himself tangled in my yarn, which he proceeded to drag around the house until he had pulled the sock off the needles and undone most of the knitting. Needless to say, trying to put the stitches back on the needle was not going to happen. So instead I just frogged what was left, rewound the yarn, and cast on a new sock.<p>All I can say is, Harley is lucky I love him so much.Shortyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01951373559852173240noreply@blogger.com2
