"Every night, just when the dark was softest and sleep was deepest, there came a loud noise from the end of the great room. It came from the place where the loom and spindle stood, where by day the grandmother spun and the mother wove."

The Simple Life Part 2

So.....I've thought; and I think the place to start is my wardrobe! I shall review my clothes and anything that hasn't been worn in ages shall be either: re-purposed; remade; mended; donated; or, chopped up for quilts etc.

All hand knitted jumpers that have been lying around idly shall be: unravelled and re-knitted into new garments; unravelled and woven into something else; or, donated.

Well it's a start I suppose and I have to start somewhere....Oh....WIP finishing is in progress....now I just need some more hours in every day.

ETA: I just noticed it's Friday the 13th.....Yay.....a LUCKY DAY!!!!!

The Simple Life

Spindle is determined to simplify her life. Starting with.....I have no idea. But the ideas will come to me; eventually.....I hope!

In the meantime I'm determined to finish some wips (works in progress); the first of which is a white cotton crocheted bedspread.

I am soooo close to finishing and it has cost me a small fortune in materials, it's time it was finished and on the bed.
