Goodies!

Simone found this in a recycle-shop and thought of me. So she bought it and sent it to me. What a nice surprise! Thnx Simone, it is great and I will try it out.


I also got my order from "De Handwerk Boetiek" with my 'Sara Tobias book' and the LHN "The Bookshelf"


I'll be working today, but after that: 4 whole weeks of holidays.
I can't wait :D

nip or nap? & Fiber

I'm growing a new herb on my balcony, it's called Cat nip:

But is has the tendency to get into a Cat nap:

So.. I'm stil pondering on how to get it right :D

Meanwhile things happen on the fiber front.
Danny came by last night and we had a nice evening of Spinning and Bitching. Not to be confused with Stitching and Bitching, thats toninght. :)

Anyway, see Danny spin:

The flying bobbin:

The result: on the left the Artis camel, on the right the unknuwn black sheep.

This was my spinning. I have some light blue roving and as long as I was spinning, it went ok, but as soon as the thread broke, I had a hell of a time trying to get spinning again. But for a first real attempt, it doesn't look too bad. This is my practice bobbin:


Well.. I'm looking forward to see this lady shed her hairs again:

Just a few more weeks, and I'll be looking for the zoo keepers to ask if they will save the fiber for me.
