Last weekend I really did make it down to the barn and was able to get some weaving done. I did not get as much weaving done as i would have liked though.
Why?? It was the second weekend of the Spring Steam Engine and Tractor show so there were many, many visitors in the weaving barn and so I was answering a lot of questions; which I don't mind doing and in some ways I actually enjoy doing. But when you have your mind set on weaving at least TWO placemats and only one gets done over 6 hours there is a bit of personal disappointment.
Overall I did have a good time sharing what I know and explaining what I was making which in the big scheme of things is all good.
I am also into my second week of the new project at work and not only am a developing a new application I am learning a new (for me) architecture pattern called MVC (Model-View-Controller) using Microsoft .NET. Let me say that even thought I am liking it, it is a bit frustrating since it is a major shift away from what I have been doing for the past 10 years with "traditional" software development.
And today I did not go to the barn, again even though I had planned to. I have picked up a website build/design job from a friend so I was off at his place taking pictures to use on the website. When it is all done, THEN I shall post links to it and you can see more of my work.
Afterwards, I went to the Volunteers For Minerals booth at the San Diego County Fair, at Del Mar and volunteered 4 hours of time helping with sales and hanging out with some of my friends.
