…was she was getting a tattoo on her wheel.  ;o)  Though there were some guesses that were pretty funny, hehehe

This past Saturday was the second annual Stitch and Spin in Catskill, NY.  Through some good luck and some creative googling I was able to get my friend Don to come to the event with his paints (and his amazing talent) to trick out some wheels.  Usually Don looks like this when he’s working:

(yes, that’s my Jeep getting detailed, he’s done both my Jeeps, R’s Dad’s ‘48 Ford, our friend Ernie and Ruth’s Dodge, oh hell pretty much every one of our friends who has a hot rod has had it pinstriped by Don, he loves us, hehe)

On Saturday, Don looked like this:

…a couple of the ‘tats’:

HA!  Risa’s going to have to keep this one for a while, methinks.  ;op  She looks happy though, doesn’t she?

You can see more (including closeups of my lil bee addition) by checking out Tina’s post and Harriet’s post on the Times Union Fiber Arts blog (please if you can, leave a comment on the TU blog, they still don’t believe we have such numbers, hehe.  But then come back here ‘cuz I have more for you to read…I’ll wait…you back?  cool.)

In knitting news, someone keeps asking about my sock progress so here it is:

Firestarter on the left, Lothlorien on the right.  ;o)

…I tried to come up with a picture of some hawt firemen for ya’ll.  The best I could do was a hot fireman:

(hot from standing over the grill, that is, though he is pretty hawt in turnout gear *grin*)

So…why do you think Tina’s so happy?

…and other spinning news, here’s a crappy photo showing that I may have managed to reach maximum density on the plying head:

I think I can get a smidge more on there…what do you think?  ;o)

…this weekend?

Mine should be pretty exciting, tomorrow is the Hudson River Stitch & Spin which was lots of fun last year…

…see?  Lots of people having lots of fun.  ;o)  The details are here on Tina’s post and if you can make it, I can promise you a good time.

Sunday I’m going to be on top of a mountain surrounded by firemen…which probably won’t suck, either.  ;op

Sorry no eye candy this week, other than the lots of people having lots of fun…maybe I can get a shot of a hawt fireman for you guys for next week.  hehehe
