I've got goodies to share! This haul came from the Shenandoah Fiber Festival last weekend. My Sister and I had a blast. It wasn’t as big as MD S and W but the quality of the booths were amazing. If you like spinning your own, this show is for you. There were bunnies, sheep, goats, alpacas, llamas and camels on display to pet and ogle their beautiful fur.
My sister got these mitts and I said I would knit them up
for her. I love the colors and they are
really easy to make. knittyandcolor had
some beautiful, bold and bright hues. My
kit with the pink came from her as well.
I had the flu and then I just felt blah for a week so I didn't
knit. But this is what I am making for
myself. A little Halloween scarf…there
is a theme going no? :)
Let see, we got the yard done. I meant to show a shot of it a few weeks ago…but
time got away from me. Here it is. I absolutely love it! There are a bunch of herbals in there and
plants that all flower during different seasons. It makes me smile every time I come
home. :)
Our big family goal over the last few weeks was to conquer a
Minecraft Underwater Temple
So, first, my Sister and I scouted for a temple. We sailed the seas of Minecraft looking for
one of these rare temples. Usually, I can
find one really quickly, but it took a bit of time. Luckily there was a little island right there
and we built a little stanging shelter.
Hubby decided he wanted to dig under the temple and that is what
he did. Isn’t this amazing? He glassed in the atria to the temple and I
love the way it looks. :)
While he was digging, I was cooking. I made potions of water breathing and night
vision so we could breathe and see underwater.
I cooked chicken and rabbit stew.
I crafted golden apples, torches, boats and a bunch of other items that
we would need. I forged new diamond
armor for everyone and swords and pickaxes.
I enchanted the boots for water striding and the helm with aqua
affinity. I made sure everyone had a
silk touch pickaxe for getting the lanterns, which are pretty rare considering
the numbers of the prismarine we obtained.
The next thing that I should mention is that there are the
three Elder Guardians which are really tough but then the whole place is
swarming with the normal Guardians which shoot bolts at you. The normal Guardians will keep spawning when
there are eight blocks of water present; so we were literally up to our armpits
in them.
We fought our way to the sponge room and one of us collected
a sponge while the other watched for Guardians.
You dry out the sponges and then can use them to dry out a section of the room. It takes time and teamwork and we
rocked at both.
As you can see we have demolished the rest of
the temple for stone and lanterns and stuff.
I put in glowstone lights and I did it all legit. Not like it really matters, but I did. I laid out the floor lights wrong twice and
had to break them and put them down again.
But I think it looks nice and nothing like zombies or such can spawn
with all this light. I can hear one
though. There are tons of mines under
this structure and they are rich with ores and zombies.
We will turn the temple into a spawner for the Guardians
when we are done since they are a renewable source of prismarine crystals and shards. These shards are used to make the lanterns
and other blocks. This way we will have a never-ending source of crystals and shards.
It really is a beautiful temple. You can’t see it but the colors slowly change
in the prismarine. It is such a lovely
stone.
We really enjoyed doing something new together and everyone
was so awesome. We piled all our loot
into 3 chests and everyone should have enough prismarine to add on or redo part
of their houses. I can’t wait to add it
to the floor in the entry hall. :)
In other gaming news…my ESO character reached level V1. Veteran Rank 1. I can’t believe it. My next big quest is to kill the big bad of
the game Moleg Bol. We have a statue of
him next to Alduin from Skyrim and he is really, really, really big. But I have faith in myself. I am looking forward to being able to travel
to a new province once I destroy him once and for all.
And that my friends, is where I am at.
I wish you all shade and sweetwater,
Happy crafting,
Ruinwen
