Been a while since I've posted. Mostly I'm just tired when I get home from work and I've been doing the "leader" thing all day, I really don't want to post to LJ or do all that much - I need some time to make Mr Supervisor go away and Mr Me to come back.
Call it a split personality, but it's just safer that way. :) Mr Supervisor can be a real dick.
Anyhow - season was good - got me a niiice office chair instead of the wooden Chair of Pain that made my ass go numb in about 20 minutes. I took great pleasure in disassembling that piece of work - I don't care if it's 50 years old - it was a piece of crap and I'm glad to be rid of it.
I've been not doing a lot else - haven't had the energy to do a lot when I get home and there's no time before work. Kind of sucks....
I'm starting to get back into the knot-working. Somebody at work asked about a paracord bracelet. I made him one, then 6 more people wanted one too. I don't think anymore will sell, but hey, if they do.... it's $15 in my pocket. I do have two orders though, if I can get pink paracord.
I know where to get it, I just need to get it to me... Looks like R&W Rope might be the place, even though they're in Maine. I just need to call them for prices to see if they can do better than U-Braidit or EBay. If they can, then I might get a bunch of 100 or 200 foot hanks in different colours and then put the bracelets and whatnot on Etsy.
Got a freebie from the owner of the laundromat - somebody left a digital camera behind a couple months ago and never came back for it. He gave it to me for being a loyal customer for the last number of years. Ummm...OK I'll take it. It's some off brand, 5 MP jobbie, but hey. I gots a camera that I can use for stuff. What made me go wooo! was that it has a macro mode. That will come in handy if I start posting examples of the stuff I make.
Anyhow, time to leave - will post more later without the huge-ass gap that I had last time.

paracord bracelet?
A bracelet made out of woven paracord (also known as "550 cord").
You can find instructions on instructables.com or if you go to survivalstraps.com you can see the finished product that they sell.
