spinning my wheels

warning

this is definitely NOT a fashion shot!

I’m digging – while the soil is dig-able, it’s not raining and before it gets too hot

the Japanese anemone roots are 2 feet deep

and the blue bells are going to the compost, too

don’t worry, they’ll both be back in a couple of years

a visitor to my studio was wearing this silk (looked like handwoven) coat which she bought in a consignment store

she had a dressmaker alter it to fit  – don’t you love these big, pleated pockets

and the detail on the back?

in the evenings, when I’m too tired and achy to do anything else I’m spinning this fleece I’ve had for a few years

shifting one stash to another

spinning in the grease – it is wonderfully clean and soft

I’m planning to ply it – a delight to spin

very fine and tight – 3 lbs. 5 oz.  of Icelandic Moorit from Jane at Tideview Farm

I could sit in the sun and spin all day

but – back to the digging!
