Victory got in the way again. Enough said to those who know. This crap just keeps getting in the way of enjoying stuff in life.
Here is a photo of the BEAUTIFUL picture frame the #1 granddaughter Abygail made for me for a mother's day gift to grandma! I so love it. Have it sitting on my desk at work to enjoy.
I have tried my hand at dying fiber to spin. Take a look at these! I am thinking or seeing a theme..........
Tequila sunrise and Blue martini! How cool is that?
I ordered or reserved a spinning wheel last week from Beth at the Spinning Loft. Now just waiting to go pick it up. Would you like to see a photo of it? It's a louet Victoria, I think that I will just call it Vic. See here
This weeks progress on my projects go a bit like this..........Chevron scarf-haven't picked up since last post other than to move it, Sample scarf about 2/3 finished at this point, can't wait to finish and might not turn it over to shop owner as it's just soooooooooo squishy soft! And the colors are perfect. The christening gown- purchased the beads and ribbon and even got it all blocked and it's all ready to stitch on the beads. I think this week even.
Spinning? Finished up the multi colored fiber and purchased some super soft baby alpaca from Beth at the Spinning Loft. All is spun and ready to ply..........maybe start that tonight. I love spinning. Did I say that yet?
Oh and knitwych when you read this yes you will want to give it a try............if you do I will send you some fiber and a starter spindle to give a whorl. Whorl get it?
Exercise. Started running again for this year. It's a very late start for sure. But I am happy to say that I ran almost a mile. The trial that we run has markers at every quarter mile, so I can see them and stop running just short of them to catch my breath then when I reach them I run again until the next one. Then we turn around and finish with a walk of approx. 3 miles. All is good, feel it today.

What an adorable frame! And I love your dye work, too. Just the names on those fibers would make me want to buy them!
I'm trying SO HARD to resist the siren song of the spinning wheel, and now not only do I have a major case of spinning wheel envy because of your Louet, NOW you're literally dangling temptation before me...argh!
My bestest pal Kayla spins, and my knitting guru Jane tried to teach me drop-spindle-spinning. I managed to spin maybe 20 yards of yarn - wool with some of our Lulu dog fur, but it came out pretty lumpy and, um, unique. (I sh*t you not - I could knit a puppy from the fur Lulu sheds each summer and fall!) Maybe if I locked myself in a room WITHOUT the cats I might manage to get something spun without the "help" that made my first attempt so frustrating. How about I trade you some handmade soap for fiber and spindle - and you promise to guide me with this?
You are an eeeevil temptress, you know. Somehow, I get the feeling that you're completely OK with that! :-D
I will email ya...........
