I am a nurse who loves to spin and knit. I am a mom to 4 beautiful girls. 3 of my daughters also spin and the youngest is only 4 so we haven't really practiced with her too much. We share our home with several wheels and a beautiful loom and 2 beagles, my four legged kids.

OK, I Have To Brag!!!

Ok, I spent most of the day waiting for info on my car that needs repaired and knitting while I waited. I'm still terribly far behind on my Pi Shawl. I think I'm on row 15 of clue 3. I don't have any new pictures of it, but it is about twice the size of my previous pics. The rest of the day I spent organizing and cleaning my craft/music room and setting up my loom. I'm blessed to have a very large room with big windows. I love it! Here are some pics of my new loom.

Isn't she beautiful??? I am so very blessed! It's a 4 harness 50" Cherry Norwood that previously hailed from the wonderful city of Chicago. That was an interesting drive home to say the least! Here are some other pics of my room.


This is my Merlin Tree Quebec. I am blessed to have one of these beauties. It has painted trim and I love the fall colors. Here is a close up of the trim.

This is a picture of my sewing corner. My daughter's piano is along the wall to the left of the sewing area, and I have a large window seat with storage to the right. I have a couple big baskets with wool and yarn on top and lots of fabric/fiber inside. I really do have stash issues.

Here is some beautiful handpainted roving I just received recently. It was much too pretty to stash away in a cupboard so I left it out as wall decoration! The colors are lovely and the roving is so soft. I wish I could remember who I ordered it from, but she didn't include an invoice, and I've lost her website! DARN!

Thanks! I am somewhat compulsive in my hobbies...I tend to cycle in the things I enjoy. Today knitting/spinning Tomorrow Quilting?? Who knows? I have definately decided not to get rid of anything ever again! Just when I think, oh that hobby doesn't interest me anymore, I come back to it the day after I sell any major equipment! I don't do it all...Just a little here and there. The small/portable things are most convenient right now. I think that's why I love to knit and spin, and once you're a spinner I think the next step is weaving.
