Internet

Well, after a year and a half of mobile-only Internet, I have home Internet again. There are things I can't really do with just my phone, so it was time. 

Library/Office

This weekend's goal was to clean off the table in the library/ office so that I could have a dedicated editing/rewriting spot. I have one corner of the table left, but it's looking good so far!

I also found some beeswax candles on eBay that fit into my candleholder...

And made a few spindles...


And Oliver found a warm spot to sleep. 

Chevron quilt

My sister Jess is expecting. We are having a baby shower on Sunday. In March, I will have another nephew! And she is really into chevrons. :)
(Not posting this on Facebook yet because I don't want her to see, although she knows I made it.)

Spinning

So I'm still working on the "Fill All the Spindles" project. (Clearly, I have too many spindles. But once I get down to the little ones, it will go fast!) 


Forgot the one in progress...

And the sampler spindle (for the samples that come with purchased fiber.)

New Year's Resolutions

New Year's Resolutions. A little different format this year. 
1. Make2. Mend3. Be4. Find5. Save6. Live7. Help8. Create9. Love10. Learn
I will write more about these as the year progresses. 

Christmas & New Year

Christmas was great, and now it's the New Year! I will post my short list of resolutions tomorrow or over the weekend. 
Last night, I moved around some furniture in the living room and library:


The corner cupboard fits perfectly inside the closet!
That meant moving the reading chair into the living room...



And moving some other stuff around as well. It looks really nice!

Morning Glory bread

My sister Jessica and her husband Rick got me a bread baker made by a potter in Gatlinburg for Christmas. I made some Morning Glory bread today. :)

Christmas morning.

Christmas morning knitting time with Chloe Bella. 

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from me and the kitty horde!

Knitting

I decided I wanted to make something with #1 straight knitting needles, just because. With the help of Grey, I now have a list of things to make with #1 straight needles! 
But for my first project, I decided to make an ornament with a small ball of leftover handspun singles. 







It turned out really well! Now I have use for small balls of handspun, including silk!
