Spin, span, spun...

I'm feeling better since my last post. We'll see how long that lasts, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed! We are heading to see my mom for the weekend. That should provide some much needed happiness. Tomorrow we're also planning on taking the kids to a museum and then having a BBQ at my mom's. the rest of the weekend should involve swimming, bowling, spinning, BBQ'ing, fireworks and general merriment. I'll also be meeting my mom's new boyfriend. I think this is her first serious BF since her husband passed away a year and a half ago. I hope things go well. I am actually pretty nervous about meeting him....

I have been spinning a lot lately. I imagine it is because of the excitement of getting a wheel in the near future. I set up a deal on a used Ashford Joy single treadle with a traveling bag. I even got $100 knocked off in exchange for some nice fiber and yarn. I LOVE this wheel!!! I can't believe I am actually going to be getting this beautiful wheel!!! Her name is Helen and this is what she looks like.


Anyways here is some of the stuff I've spun this week...




I also taught Az to spin a bit and this is what he did... He was surprisingly gentle with the fiber



Danny also taught him to crochet....

(pretending it is a beard... lol)

Oh yea! I gave him a mohawk!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
