Not much happening again...

I've been lazy this week.  I've done a bit of spinning on the reindeer Twindle, tried making another Baatara spindle in the woodshop but suffered total spindle-making fail. :-(  I need a doodad for the lathe to make them come out better.

Oh I did get some wonderful fiber from Corgi Hill Farm -

It's Norwegian wool, and I can't wait to try it.  Though I have a ton of other spinning projects already on the wheels/spindles. :-/

I've been trying to wrangle the dogs together for a group shot, but have been totally unsuccessful.  But for now, here's this one:


Hope everyone has a Happy Holiday! :-D

Another week, and not much done...

Since I had the flu the week before I've not been very busy.  I finally started feeling like myself on Thursday, which was perfect timing because I had won a Bristlecone Twindle in a contest and it arrived that day!


I'm calling it Rudy. :-)

And I got a small fiber order Saturday, and decided to try it out on the new Twindle this morning:

It's from an Etsy seller - I need to look her name up again to make sure I've got it right... http://unwindyarncompany.etsy.com/.  Beautiful stuff, and of course this has sparkles in it. :-)  And the seller is super-nice. :-D

Other than that, not much being done.  I was out in the woodshop today but it's not done yet.  And DH is rearranging the woodshop, making it harder to find things, but there is already more room. :-)
