I really wanted A Joy wheel. I love how it folds and travels so nicely. However, when I went to a shop that had it and many others, I was disappointed that I didn't love it in person. I ended up falling in love with the Kiwi and bought one. I've been working on finishing it. Can't wait to get it done and get back to spinning. I feel the same about my old ones...I'm planning to sell my Ashford Traditional and my Country Craftsman wheels. Your sewing is impressive. I love that coral colored dress. It looks comfy and the color is beautiful!Acorn to Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334558675705027610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-23930252483241246462017-04-30T16:51:55.639-07:002017-04-30T16:51:55.639-07:00Thanks for the patch idea.

I may do exactly what you just did - donate my handspun yarns, two bins full that would be so freeing and let me get back to spinning. <br /><br />I hold my breath every day that the Donald won't blow us up. Meanwhile the EPA and department of education are gutted. Pope Francis is one of the few bright spots in world leadership IMHO.

I had that little bit of oddly shaped fabric and there it fit.<br /><br />Susan, The dress is a bit more subdued in real life color wise. I'm wishing that salmon had just a bit more orange and little less pink.<br /><br />Michelle, I prefer weaving most things in washable materials, sturdy napery etc. and I prefer spinning wool blends. I will likely hold some back and do a little run of donation scarves under duress. This pope is easy to like and humble.<br /><br />Peg, it would work well with a little T under it. I have a light little linen blend knit shrug in white that will work with it myself. Mostly I'll swan around here in it as is. I'll be a hummingbird magnet on the deck I bet!<br /><br />LA, Those two are so bonded. That pic was taken when I pulled the covers back to crawl into bed. They had usurped a pillow. I'm thinking that jumpsuit will be a bit looser than shown with maybe just a bit of elastic at the back waist for shaping. Zipper instead of buttons, or my favorite, SNAPS!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-34942069119472029252017-04-12T16:03:40.940-07:002017-04-12T16:03:40.940-07:00Scary times for us all, but especially for people ...Scary times for us all, but especially for people like the poor Syrians.

I should kick my sorry butt into gear and get sewing again, but there are so many other projects in mid-go. If I allow myself to think of that asshat and what he and his Dark Force are capable of, I find myself unable to breathe. May we all just live through the next four years. It's interesting to see that change can be made when the so-called media is hit in their wallets. That last pic is just totally adorable.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-50620548503303875842017-04-12T07:26:42.794-07:002017-04-12T07:26:42.794-07:00Non-weaver that I am, I am fascinated that you don...Non-weaver that I am, I am fascinated that you don't like to weave with handspun. My friend Sharon (In Stitches) seems to have made peace with woven handspun by using it in scarves, mostly for sale.<br /><br />I'm with Peg on the coral color, and with everyone on the last shot. :-DMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-48600951469528881092017-04-12T05:43:43.185-07:002017-04-12T05:43:43.185-07:00I agree...that parting shot is just wonderful.
