Hi all! So, as you can see, I’ve been pretty busy. And obviously don’t know how to use this with both pictures and text, so please forgive me! I have decided in between job hunting to meet some goals. I watched videos on grooming and groomed our dog! I learned how to use my drop spindle to spin roving into yarn, which will go to my loom kit, and then will spin my good roving into regular project yarn. My and dad’s garden is in full swing! Lots of small strawberries, and my grape vine, pepper plants, tomato and cucumber plants all have things growing, hopefully will be ready to harvest soon cause it all smells SOO good. I also learned how to make socks and have been working on my portraits. Once my confidence goes up on my drawings, I will totally get them online!
So, I have to vent. The other day one of my aunts (not close to) made a comment about the socks and knitting I’ve been working on. And giggled since I can just go buy socks or yarn. Someday I hope to have my own art therapy studio, and I need to know these skills. Fiber art can be very relaxing, and it is becoming a lost art. I someday want a large loom and spinning wheel to teach others. This is what I explained to her and to others. Plus buying roving (processed wool) and spinning, while time consuming is so much cheaper!!! And fun to say that I made it.
I LOVE the socks!!! …and the dogs new haircut. Glad to hear you're learning some new things during your "time off!" Can't wait til Wednesday!!! 🙂
