Festive Wool

I have to be brief - but Wool Fest was great, it did me and Dotter both good to get out and see our many friends, old and new, and fondle (and BUY) wool! Even caught up with old homeschooling friends! The SnB stall was great, fantastic effort by Taph, HappySpider, ShoppingSherpa and Kuka in particular. My stuff sold OK, but wasn't a run away hit by any means... dunno, I think people were there for the fibre (not surprisingly!) more than anything else.

This gorgeous tea cup was a gift from Taph... one of these days, when I get my painting time / mojo back, it may star in a painting!

Dotter has finally talked me into giving this spinning thing a whirl (har har). Bought this rather short dumpy drop spindle, but haven't had a go on it yet. I mainly got fibre to spin - plus a beautiful little ball of lace-weight silk.

And now back to this... 17 days and roughly 140 puzzles to go... Am not getting much knitting time, nor blog reading or commenting time. Getting to sleep at 1am is now a habit :/ As is having to check my blood pressure every few hours. Looks like I'm going to end up on medication (hypertension runs through my dad's side of the family; my grandfather died young from it). All I can say is thank goodness for belly dance class, it's keeping me sane at the moment.

I am determined to see Eurovision, though, even if I have to work in front of the telly!!
