I have frozen raindrops attached to my screens. We need the moisture, but please no snow. </div><br /><div>I had coffee yesterday, first day off, with a friend in Victoria. Cute coffee shop. We got the prime spot, fireplace and leather wingback chairs. Had a lovely salad and a long overdue visit. I've been kind a recluse since January. I've been so busy trying to find a job and so discouraged that I spent alot of time at home. It's so good to be working and out with people again. I think I'll like the Home Depot job. I get the garden center cuz I'm one of the few gardeners on staff.</div><br /><div>Tuesday night I had a friend over to spin. It was so fun to get my wheels out again and oiled up. The traveler is feeling a bit stiff so I'll have to work with that one a bit. </div><div>Lori is spinning fabulous yarn and really needed no help. We had a great visit, looking through books and feeling fiber. I had to beg off early because I'd been up since 4:30 and I had to get up the next day at the same time. This is not normal for me so I was fading fast. I started spinning Hydrangea that I bought<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_46EOV23diJk/R_9yZWMJtOI/AAAAAAAAAlo/bolojneORj8/s1600-h/Hydrangea+Roving-%232.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187991075532944610" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_46EOV23diJk/R_9yZWMJtOI/AAAAAAAAAlo/bolojneORj8/s200/Hydrangea+Roving-%232.JPG" border="0" /></a> back in December<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_46EOV23diJk/R_9yQ2MJtNI/AAAAAAAAAlg/8VDcVwEyMbw/s1600-h/Hydrangea+roving.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187990929504056530" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_46EOV23diJk/R_9yQ2MJtNI/AAAAAAAAAlg/8VDcVwEyMbw/s200/Hydrangea+roving.JPG" border="0" /></a>. Mine is spinning up alot lighter than the sample, but that's okay. I'll get a photo up when I spin a little more.</div><br /><div>I'm currently trying to frantically get the fish done for Josh's birthday. He wants to paint fish all over his walls in his bedroom but mom doesn't think that's a good idea.</div><br /><div>He said, "when I get big I'll paint my own room". He also wants a castle outdoor playhouse. IN MY YARD! Now how am I gonna figure that one out???</div><br /><div>Well, it's a good day to count inventory, knit/spin, or read a good book. Stay dry!</div><br /><div>Yarn Over is this weekend - not going cuz I have to work - check it out on the Minnesota Knitters Guild website.</div></div>The natural knitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08663261568379124923Bonny@creativefibers.com
