No Fly-zone
I’ve given up on FlyLady. Not without much debate, both internal and external, and not without more than a little guilt. Over the years Flylady helped me get a grip on my messes and taught me some good habits, the email reminders were useful (when I paid attention to them) and the testimonials were rather inspiring. My last straw broke though when I revisited the Flylady.net site and found that it was (gasp! horrors!) cluttered with a bunch of useless or at least questionably useful Flylady branded stuff.
Since impulse buying is (part of) what lead to my cluttered life in the first place, that means that staying with Flylady would present way too much resistance. I’m a path of least resistance kinda girl.
I’m not squishy or gooey and don’t fall into purple puddles but the change to my inbox does make me a little sad.
Fortunately I have some gorgeous handpainted bamboo/merino blend roving to console me.
The picture I took came out okay, except the colors are much more vivid in real life.
The yarn when plied is destined to become a Baby Surprise Jacket for Lexi. I know she’s no longer a baby, but it doesn’t take much tweeking to embiggen the pattern to fit a 5 year old.
if i slobber all over the yarn and get my cooties on it does that mean i get to keep it?
Nice use of the word Embiggen!!!! Good job!
Also- I just bought some Fake Cashmere Roving!!!!! Apparently Its nylon, but feels so much like cashmere that I pee a little when I touch it!!! My wheel is full right now, but I’m going to be busy spinning it so I can get to the cashmere! I’ve also got some Merino in the most beautiful colorway I’ve ever seen, it’s called Stained Glass. I can’t wait to spin it!
That is all.
It’s always a shame when someone decides to go the Martha way and start selling crap. More stuff is not what most of us need. feh
Love the roving!
