Mean Kitty Rap

Kittens

Two new additions to the family. A little girl called Chloe Fox and a little boy called Clawed Monet. They have been with me and for about six and a half weeks now and are as cute as can be.

It's been a long time

...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!

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.
