Long time - no post!

Sorry for the blog absence. It's been a rainy June so far here, and that doesn't help with good photo opportunities.

I've been weaving, spinning and doing a little knitting too! My spinning studio now has the loom in it, so the quarters in there are getting a little tight! Eventually though, the Baby Wolf will end up at the shop - I'm just playing around with it at home where there are less interruptions while I warp and weave. I'm working on warping the 3rd project on it right now.

I've been spinning at home. I have some fiber on the Matchless that I want to be done with before the Tour de France starts.
Why, you might ask? Because I have to have a free wheel for the Tour de Fleece! During the 'Tour', I will spin a sweater's worth of yarn. I haven't quite decided on which fiber I'm going to spin. I have some BFL in a natural oatmeal color, or some Merino in a Dusty Rose color.

Since my spinning/weaving room is getting a little smaller with the addition of the loom, I've moved my wheel closer to the window. It's kind of a nice view to look out on when I'm spinning.



I'll leave you with some photos of my daughters and granddaughters. These were taken on Memorial Day. We went up north to my Dad and stepmom's house for the day so Wilson could help with getting the dock in the lake. It was a beautiful day and a good time to spend with family.
