As I was browsing the intertube for my latest exploring obsession, dyeing yarn, I found this wonderful person making goblins out of wool. I present you: Kasey Sorsby / Tanglewoodthicket. She is on
Etsy, twitter, Ravelry and has a wonderful, wonderful flickr photostream. Enjoy!

glad you enjoyed it, jump in.. i think we should have a network of twitterchessers.

i would very much like to attend a meeting of the drunk pirate council. i have always wanted one of those nice piratey coats.. and a tri-corn hat.

meanwhile @ Jo – i met a really fantastic group of young people from cornwall a few years ago. they were lobbying government to protect the teaching of Cornish in Cornish schools. they wanted the same protection for Cornish that exists for Welsh.

and yes, definitely the last thing i expected to see here too!

but of course it links to the pirateyness – arrrrrhhhh

Pirate Council rituals could involve cookies. Cookies are always good (I’m not sure how piratical they are; but they’re good).

And I’m thinking that Drunk Pirate Council is exactly perfect, as long as there is no plank involved.

These are GREAT ideas. Love love love.

@Tami – oh I’m so glad the class went well. I’d meant to comment on your blog and tell you about all the stress dreams and nightmares I had when I first started teaching yoga a gazillion years ago.

Oh, the irony. It hurt so much. So relieved to find out it was a “thing”. And then pow you’re a yoga teacher and all is good.

@Elizabeth – oh totally. I’m not so into the rum, but let it be noted that my gentleman friend have already transitioned into calling it Drunk Pirate Council.

And it’s taking place in a bar. And we’ve already stopped saying things like “let’s have a meeting” and started saying “let’s talk about that at Drunk Pirate Council”.

Which ROCKS.

Kisses all around. Missed you guys lots. Yay. Items. Yay.

I’m thinking about how I drank too much wine last night and how I’d really like to get some rest and not have heartburn anymore. Bad wine, bad.

Also thinking about how good it felt to actually teach my first class and how with all the build up it felt a lot like traveling. Plan, plan, plan – filled with anxiety and worry. Then the day arrives and it’s all totally fine.

Thinking about how excited I am to see my favorite singer this weekend and how much I don’t care about the Super Bowl.

Also liking the gold coins and plank for ideas ideas ..
.-= Elizabeth´s last post … on wings of song =-.

We had a little wooden chest with a lock. Every meeting, we would solemnly open up the little wooden chest and everyone would put in one of the golden Sacagawea coins. It had this nice feeling of solidarity about it. It was a really small amount of money, but it made this satisfying clink and we had this treasure chest that everyone felt very protective about. At the end of every business season, we went and bought a couple of really great bottles of wine and had a tasting. The clerk got used to us coming in every few months and plunking down a big bag full of about $150 in gold coins. You could do it with anything, really, doesn’t have to be gold coins, but gold coins does seem fitting for a pirate queen.

I also highly recommend finishing every meeting with this:

It is impossible not to feel happy during the Way, Hay part.

@Sarah –

I’d begin with “opening a cask o’ grog” and filling everyone’s tankards.

If my meetings at the corporate rob had started like that man oh man I might have gone to them But wait, then I might still have a corporate rob.

Filled tankards – such a lovely thought.

@Claire – Love the idea plank. May have to repurpose that into another metaphor for my mastermind.

Things I am thinking about this week – tons and tones. Someone heard me sing on Sunday (I don’t sing much anymore in front of people) and for the last 3 days there have been songs just showing up in my head, along with melodies. That’s nice.

Connecting with people which I did all weekend and it felt good but I also noticed a disconnecting in myself – so… not sure about that.

And starting my New Year on my birthday instead of the prescribed 1st day of a Gregorian calendar.

Also The Starter Kit – which necessitates thinking about getting a DVD player or a new computer hmmmmm ambivalent about either.
