Well despite the yucky cold and windy weather it was a nice, quiet and pleasant Valentines for us!! We basically hung out! I did laundry (yes still, again, more etc!) and I did more spinning on my new wheel I just got back from our friend Ed! Who has managed to turn this into one really fab looking and working wheel! It's the same one I got about 2 weeks ago now and I dropped it off with Ed and he has managed to stain her, fix the treadle, the hooks, a new tension knob and metal piece for the flyer to rest in! She spins like a dream and has a huge bobbin I am in the process of filling!! Way too fun!
I Plan to update my etsy shop tomorrow with a few things and then again this next weekend! I have been a bit lazy this weekend because I actually got to sleep in this time so am taking advantage of that!! Hope all my friends are staying warm and not shoveling too much snow! More on the way here again and all of next week they, say starting tomorrow! So with that thought I leave you with pics of the wheel and also the yarn now on the bobbin soon to come off!! more pics of course on my flickr!! Have a wonderful week and see you all soon!
I almost forgot to tell you that my sister has a new blog as well and is posting her classes and such for her yarn shop there and pics of all the fun! take a look and go visit her and give her some love! Woolen Treasures!
I love the photo of the spun yarn. Hope you keep enjoying your new wheel.
