what kind of spindle are you?

Which Spindle Are You? You are open, spiritual, creative, and down-to-earth! COOL!!!

snow days????!?

we're not supposed to have a snow day in May, not even in South Dakota. BUT...here we are! We woke up to about a foot of snow! Schools all over the Black Hills were canceled. Parents all over the Black Hills wanted to run away, all day.

So...I've been spinning LOTS of silk for people in SCA lately. Osage orange dyes silk a very pretty color. I have some that dyed a ripe wheat gold and some that is a very pretty bright yellow.

I have CDs on ebay...that's kind of exciting! I guess we'll see what happens!

so....how was your day? Mine was loud!

new yarn...it's sunday

Hey--
new yarn on my blog on a sunday...what happened? Lots of pretty, quite fine, silk yarn. I've been preparing for selling at SCA events. so what you'll see here is mostly solid colored stuff more for use by historical reenactors, instead of the general public. What do you think?

by the way...my son has origami for auction on ebay at http://snipurl.com/eqv9 . do me a favor put it on your "watch list" if you've got one...or just go look....he's thrilled about the bids and feeling good about himself after feeling like a major failure from the business fair.

thanks guys....
