Treadled a 4-treadle Loom
Ate homemade whole wheat buns on ham bbq sandwiches.
Learned what Bumbleberry Pie was.
Spun some lumpy yarn on my own spinning wheel.
Tried out a Turkish drop spindle.
Saw a nostepinne in action.
Forgot my camera.

Mmmmm, pie! Great day.
I just saw your knitters against bush button. CMU!
May I steal your Knitters Against Bush button? It belongs on my blog, too.
Instructions for a nostepinne? I just started winding on mine when I got it. But it was kinda reassuring to see that I'm doing it *right*.
Glad you had fun, pie always improves my day...
Pie! Sometimes a full day leaves no room for photodocumentation. :-)
Mmmmm pie. Don't you absolutely love days like that?
Wow, I learned so much from your post. First, now I know what Bumbleberry pie is. I've been making these mixed berry/fruit pies for years and never knew there was a special name for it. Second, I now know what a nostepinne is. I can't get past that goofy name. Three, I noticed your Knitters Against Bush button? May I steal it? (of course saving it to my own server)
I stole the button (copied and pasted into my blog) from someone without permission! Steal away.
mmmmmm, pie....
Thanks so much for the link to the nostepinne instructions! I have a lovely one I bought at the Evelyn Clark lace retreat several months ago, saw how to use it, and thought, "Oh, I can do that." I promptly got it home and couldn't figure it out! Now maybe I can try and actually USE the silly thing! :)
Did you get the puppy and kitten?? And my curiosity is killin me- whats up with the deleted comments??? Do I need to beat someone up for you?
