hey, how's it going? what's new?

Frank is in Reno doing work stuff for the until tuesday :(
I have to get the prints done and mailed by friday. This morning I made a sort of table top for clamping the screens. One of the screens didn't turn out too well (got a little burned) so I may have to do another one. Also, I haven't screen printed in ages...hope I'm not too out of shape.

a few of the 10,000 best things ever
1- new espresso machine...iced soy lattes every morning

2- those really good whole wheat bagels
3- getting back on the good side of student lending
4- delicious dinners

5- sassy magazines

6- projection television
7- screen printing

8- new yarn shelf

things i would like to mention

I made this hat about two weekends ago while frank and i were hanging out with Kevin_friend. I will probably sell on etsy as it is not really my style and is a little big on me. But it's sooo comfy and warm...


other things i'm working on:
-figuring out my new camera
-haircut today...and photos by tomorrow
-working on a pattern for handspun knit kits...(oooh!)
-posting a few yarns and many hats on etsy.
-getting some screenprinting time in...have to set up the compaq so i can use photoshop
-tenative handmade show on august 1st

summer things:
-possible Reno trip
-probably not camping this year :(
