...since I last posted:
I bought a Golding Spindle and taught myself spindle spinning. I have to admit it's appallingly addictive. It's slower than using the wheel but I feel I have so much control over what I'm doing and I can spin so incredibly fine. She spins silk amazingly well....am yet to try her with cashmere, angora and mohair.
My little ring spindle is 24grams with a high Cherry Whorl and a Walnut Shaft. The ring is sterling silver and she's decorated with Amethysts, sterling silver and Marcasites. She's a hand crafted one-of-a-kind.

She glitters beautifully as she spins!

Also I lost my little white cat a couple of weeks ago. She became ill quite quickly and after a number of vet visits; no response to antibiotics; and, blood tests it was discovered that her red blood cells were being destroyed. The outcome was unlikely to be good so I had to make the decision to let her go. I was with her when she was put to sleep......my poor little Emma girl was so miserable I just couldn't put her through anymore stuff. I expect I'll be shedding tears for sometime to come. The boy cat and I miss her so very much.
Love you my little Emma Jennyanydots!
