Collapse Weave, and Handspun Fingerless Mitts

1. Our Salad for dinner tonight. Yellow organic tomato, feta, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper

2.  Corn for dinner too!

3. Not pictured, but gourmet hamburgers made by The Man, and boy were they GREAT, even though I have to eat them without the bun, (drat).

4. Some hand-dyed roving, handspun by me, knit by me fingerless mitts.  I finally wove in the ends.

5. This weekend's weaving.  It was Collapse Weave with Betsy Blumenthal.  Oh my word, I want her mind.  Besides the fact that she's famous, and her work is amazing, she's nice too!  I bought two scarves from her, in both of the drafts we did this weekend and I'll try to remember to photograph them and put them on here for you guys to see.  Simply beautiful. 

That's it!

Have a great week everyone!

Spinning and Weaving

I've lost a little interest in this blog.  I'm not sure why.  I guess that happens once in awhile, but pressing on...

I've got photos, and really, what's a blog post with out photos?

I think I'll make this into a three ply, we'll see though.  I've got 12 full oz.  And, it's purty!

I made this scarf in August, and posted it on Facebook, forgetting to post it here.  It's woven out of Tencel and Ohhhhh so soft. Why does my face look splotchy?  weird!

I spun some gold.  Love it.  I got quite a bit of yardage out of this one skein as a three ply. 

And, here I am waiting for Kid 1 at her Jr. High.  See those buses?  I elected to drive her to a closer school.  But the buses are enticing.  I've gotta be there at 2:30 on the DOT!  It's ok, it's good Mommy/Daughter time.

More later! Because I've got more to show.  I've just been saving it all up for you.

See ya!
