Halloween

I'm going to pin this on me somewhere. I vow to do
better next year.
Decided to borrow The Crafty Chica's book from the library, and found the dia de los muertos template. Perfect timing.
Happy Halloween everyone!

Butterfly Place

We recently had to say "goodbye for now," to some very dear friends moving back to Australia. My girlfriend Vicki loves butterflies, so we went to the Magical Wings up in Greenfield, MA as one of our last visits together.

My New Baby

Yes, she's a Lendrum. And, yes, I do lay awake at night thinking, "I could be spinning right now!"
Now for all the specifics!

Have to think of a name for her... Any ideas?

I purchased her through our local spinning lady (LSL) who is also a licensed Lendrum dealer. I got her (the wheel) at a great price; since the LSL doesn't need to keep up a retail store, she pretty much sells them at cost plus tax.

Yes, I did go to Rhinebeck - I came home with a Romney lamb fleece at it's 6 month clip. It looks like shiny black silk and I put my hand in it every chance I get.
After talking with the LSL about what to do with it, I am not going to have it sent out to be processed, I am going to do everything by hand - wash, pick, comb and spin it. I am so very excited.
