Here we are, halfway through April and I've been neglecting my blog. I got back to Seattle at the end of March and was busy with family for about a week. The kids and DH came home for Passover and we had a lovely gathering. Everyone left on Easter Sunday and it seems as if I've been trying to catch up ever since. On the crafting front, I spun a fun project on my new spinning wheel. I guess I never reported on the Madrona Fiber Arts festival here, but I went to it in the middle of February and had a great time as usual. I bought a little fiber and some yarn as a gift, but my big purchase was this: I had been pretty sure that I wanted one of these little gems and when I went and saw them in person, I was sure. It's a HansenCrafts miniSpinner and they're made right here in Washington. I met Kevin Hansen, the developer and craftsman, and he told me just why I needed one of these babies. I agreed with him and here we are. ...
It's a good day when yarn comes in the mail....
