show and tell
October 3, 2012
yesterday I made a trip to Sidney Community Arts Council Gallery
to see the First Nations and Metis Art Show
Stephanie Papik’s felted cape is beautiful, soft and light
the show is nicely displayed and well worth a visit
in the entrance garden, a charming sculpture of a harbor seal
and a bed of Autumn grasses against a brilliant blue sky
we made a stop at the farmer’s market
it has been a good year for pumpkins
my spinning wheel has been busy
3 oz. of fine 2 ply silk/camel blend, there’s more to spin
I rarely keep track of the time it takes to spin a skein
why?? this 3 oz. skein took approximately 15 hours

Beautiful pictures, I miss the Pumpkin Patch since this year I will not be flying to California in the Fall.
The cape would fit me nicely, but I find your skeins much more attractive!

Your yarn is beautiful, I would not keep track of the hours either, unbelieveable, I would not have guessed it took that long, and I’m sure you are a “master” spinner.

Kathy – not a master but I’ve been spinning for about 35 years. it makes a difference that it is very fine and plying adds time.

that seal leaves me smiling and smiling. every minute spinning is worth a lifetime, i think.

Velma – the seal is missing a few spots on his back, I think he gets patted often.
