Good Morning Thursday

   This week seems to be really flying by for me, Perhaps because I have been out with my grass trimmer "mowing" the lawn. Finished up early this morning. Also spinning on Miss Ashley (Ashford Traveler) every day. Only if I spend a little time with the wheel, my goal is to spin every day-I am getting better with the coordination of pedaling and drawing out fibers.

   We are supposedly getting another big rain storm with wind etc coming in sometime today. We have been fortunate so far to miss the worst of these storms. During that big bass tournament the person who won stayed out in the storm, and he got hit with hail and almost lost his boat-but he did get that $100,000 prize Kinda crazy to me.

  Are any of you on Instagram?? I have been on there for awhile but one could only upload photos by smartphones. For the heck of it I thought I would try my desk top computer again-and it worked!  So I am happy about that.  Found lots of spinners and other topics I love so far.  I want to be less on Facebook-only for my favorite groups there, and slow down with blogging a bit too. Perhaps only posting for T for awhile.

  Here is my address on Instagram, I also have it in my sidebar too I am enjoying just scrolling down through photos-spinning-to weaving-to Yellowstone Park-wolves and more. Loving it so far.

  Oh and now that I know how to spin on my wheel I have been going through my bags of fibers to spin. I had totally forgotten about this one-a rather rare wool-Nash Island Maine wool. Are any of you familiar with it? I think I found this on ebay of all places.  Here is a link to a very interesting article about these sheep.

Update: I had to draft some of this fiber out and spin-I love the feel of less processed wool for spinning-pleased with this single-not as bulky as before



  Happy Thursday!!
