Spinning My Wheel(s) in Paradise Full Post View | List View
I am OBSESSED with knitting and love to spin too! I will try to update fairly often. :)
- My part of a study group on color
-
Some of the members from my Spinning Guild decided to pursue a Master Spinning Certificate. The number of participants grew, and it changed to just completing the requirements but not pursuing the certificate. (Don't ask me why, I'm still confused on that point)
Anyhow, we purchased three pounds of roving apiece, and proceeded to start dying- leaving one pound plain. Each person taking on one of three primary colors (mine was red). Then the idea is to split the colors between the 7 members, so each of us can blend with cards to get our own color wheel. (seventh member dyes black for tones - to be blended later)
This is a picture from my dye day with my friend Laura, we decided to dye together - more fun that way. Have pics of the dividing day too, but only know how to add one at a time on 360. Will do a blog and add a few pics on blogger later.

Some people bring home knick - nacks, some post cards.
I usually get a shot glass, and FIBER!I don't have a picture of the shot glass, but I do have one of the fiber love.
Rovings to spin ,cottons for washcloths and sock yarns to knit . What more could a girl want?

Little sister and I got matching tattoos while I was back home this time. Lotus flowers, with the chinese symbol for sisters underneath.
She has a friend that does tats, and he did them for us for free.

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend.
It was a beautiful weekend here; no rain, lots of sunshine and low humidity.
We had a BBQ with DD's boyfriend's family yesterday.
It was a great day! Good food, good company and a nice view. (we spent the day at DH's parents new house - they just purchased it last month, but haven't moved down from Michigan yet. So we fish in the canal off their pier, and play in their pool - to help keep the bacteria down ofcourse! 
)We chose to wait until next weekend to go camping, because all the state parks in this area were fully booked already. (and I didn't want to spend twice as much at an RV park) We haven't been since November, so it should be fun.
hhhmmmmmmmm . . . . what knitting to bring? (Besides the carousel sock, Bobbi)

-
We put up a gazebo (from Home Depot) yesterday. When we got it finished we knew it was time to landscape the back yard - who wants to sit around in a gazebo and stare at an ugly yard? We landscaped the front over the last two years, now it was time to get to the back.
We picked up 4 Areca Palms for shade; four more Hibiscus, two of one kind - one hot pink and one peach, plus two of a different kind that haven't bloomed yet - mystery flowers! - (we have eight others put in by the builder - four with red flowers and variegated leaves in the front yard, and four with solid green leaves on the side of the house around the water softener - think they were orange flowers); Portulaca in red, orange and yellow to add some color under the palms; and a Meyers lemon tree for a pot on my porch, it's all of 1 foot tall right now. I am going to get three more desert roses (have one in the front yard) to put between the hibiscus.
I am pretty happy with it all.
We already had three rose bushes (in the back corner, around the well); and four oak trees. But that was the extent of our backyard landscaping.
We are going to add small rocks or crushed sea shells in front of the slab to put the lounge chairs on.
