Drop Spindle

Mornin I fell off the posting bandwagon again. But I had good reason too,


So last weekend was the Local Renn Faire. Bunny, the small and I loaded up the odds and ends we've made over the year to join, my fellow knitters in the booth they set up, to see what people liked and didn't. What would and wouldn't sell. Despite being cold, and rainy on Saturday, and Cool and Windy on Sunday it turned into a good weekend. Only barter one thing though. But the small had fun, and Bunny met some new troupers and has some new ideas for things to make.
One of which he made a prototype last night, which I cant wait to try out today. Drum Roll Please


Here is the first T. H. Horsemen Turkish Spindle

Now that both Bunny and I are off from school for the summer, I think its time to open up the old Arts Fire, Etsy, and Zibbet sites and get to selling some hand made wooden knitting and spinning notions. Ive also got a few Ideas running through my head for another shop. But that shop will be strictly online, I have no plans to sell any of it at any of the fiber shows, arts shows, or Faires that  that I may or may not join up with. 

Since fair weekend, Ive made

1. 2 wire weaved bracelets only thing they need are clasp and they'll be ready for sale.
2. 3 pairs of crocheted juggling balls for the small
3. 1/2 of my newest pair of yoga socks.

Which isnt to bad for my slow poky self. I've had a few requests from friends for footy balls/ juggling balls. So Im going to whip out a few more of them in the next few days so I can get them in the mail this week. I also plan on trying to Spin on the Turkish this week too. 

No new progress on the Maleficent the spinning wheel. I still need to get out the drill and attach the parts for the scotch tension. But Bunny is worried if we start drilling into it, that the wood is going to crack and then will be up that famous creek without any tp or a paddle. But Im wearing him down about it I think.

A few things Im enjoying this week

Music:  Far East Movement White Flag, and the Sublime Channel on Pandora

T. V.: Nothing from the US tbh. Saving the last half of NCIS and NCIS: LA for summer to fill in the weeks between Memphis Beat, Rizzoli and Isles, The Glades and Haven.  But am watching a few good Kdramas and one Jdrama (more about that later)

ReadIng: Just finished beautiful maria of my soul by oscar hijuelos. I enjoyed the story immensely. But did not like the way the book was laid out. Alot of bouncing around and multiple view points and narrators. As much as the book lay out annoyed me, I do plan on reading

the next 2 or 3 books in the series which are A simple Habana Melody, the Mambo Kings play songs of love and can also be found on Amazon.

Knitting / Crocheting: Juggling Balls made out of Bracco Sock Yarn and Cotton and Creme.

That seems to be the round up for today. 

What do people think of the ad links, Im not looking to make any/alot of money. I was thinking of the amazon one mainly for books, etc.

Have a great Day Readers, and remember find your Zen when and where you can.

Keep Calm and Knit On.
