Fiber Arts Friday: Tour de Fleece, 2025 - part 4

For Part 4 - - My goal this week is to just spin and not worry about how much I've spun, even though the Fair Entry Deadline is Wednesday.

TdF Stage 13 - Friday, July 18

Tibetan Mastiff:

• Time Spent: 31 minutes
• How I felt:  I began today thinking it would be quiet and relaxed with a little bit of dog grooming and a good amount of spinning chiengora.  Well, I did do some dog grooming, but a lot of other good things happened which allowed for only about a half-hour of spinning.

TdF Stage 14 - Saturday, July 19

Tibetan Mastiff:

• Time Spent: 28 minutes
• How I felt:  I completed the County Fair Registrations this morning and realized that the Chiengora entry only has to be 1 ounce instead of 2 ounces.  I am fairly confident that I have already spun 1 ounce, so I am now less worried about this entry.  I will continue to spin thru Wednesday, as planned.

TdF Stage 15 - Sunday, July 20 - Challenge Day

Tibetan Mastiff:

• Time Spent: 5 minutes
• How I felt:  Challenge Day?  I literally only spent 5 minutes spinning today. lol.

TdF - Monday, July 21 - Rest Day

Tibetan Mastiff:

• Time Spent: 22 minutes
• How I felt:  While today is officially a rest day, I took some time to give my brain a break in between studying other things.

TdF Stage 16 - Tuesday, July 22

Tibetan Mastiff:

• Time Spent:  26 minutes
• How I felt:  I spun a bit more after yesterday's posting.  Today I took some time to spin after a too long web meeting.  It's feels nice to take the time for a mental break.  I need to remember this feeling.

TdF Stage 18 - Wednesday, July 23

Tibetan Mastiff:

• Time Spent: 20 minutes
• How I felt:  I spun a bit more after yesterday's posting and today was the last day of spinning singles on this skein...  I didn't get to it until the end of the day.

Today is the Fair Entry Deadline.  I did enter this skein, as mentioned over the weekend... but today, is also my moment of truth.... Have I spun enough?

Yes, just barely... 2 1/4 oz.  yay!

TdF Stage 19 - Thursday, July 24

Tibetan Mastiff:

• Time Spent: 13 minutes
• How I felt:  I began plying today.

Weekly Wrap-up:

• Days Spent: 10of12 + 7of6 = 17of18 days thus far
• Time Spent: 230 minutes (3 hrs 50 minutes) + 190 minutes (3hrs 10 mins) = 420 minutes (7hrs) thus far
• Overall Feeling:  I have started to slip in to "task reporting" and not really reporting on how I'm feeling... will try to be better.  Tho I am happy that I met my unofficial goal of 2 ounces.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
