What to do with a Thursday off
Well for me this disision was easy. My thursday off hapend to be the 3rd Thursday of the month.
the . Guild would be on. I have been wanting to get to the spinning and weaving guild for a long time now. Work has a tendancy to get in the way though.
Today I went.
I was a bit worried about how I would be accepted, would they be frindly? and could I turn up just with my drop spindle. (The car was at the garage and didn't want to public transport my sonata and it was at Sis)
Well they where all very friendly and welcoming, and before I knew it it was 1pm.
Although I didnt have my wheel I still learnt, and hopefully (when I can next make it ) will learn more from these lovely people.
Most importantly I was remindend that crafters with a love of their craft are always welcoming and happy to help.

Things that reapear
This may not happen to other people, perhaps because they/their family are more organised, or maby they just know where everything is. But do you ever sundenly just come across some thing you have forgoton about? This can then lead your memery down many a path.
But the other day I was sat in my sisters room and saw this
I mainly picked it up cos it was shiny and colours I like, but I made this. It was one of my first crochet with wire ventures.
My sister for her part has no idea where it came from it was made for a sister who no longer lives at home.
As I looked at it I realised that for all it aint perfect it aint bad either, it made me rember that I should be proud of things I make as a lot are good and deserve it

Some fo's
Well I decided as it has been a month I should maybe put some pictures of finished objects.
So first of all the motif web shawl I made for my sister.
This is before it went to my sisters for blocking but gives a good idea of what it is like.
Heres a close up of one motif
Again this was before blocking
As I am here this is also from the same Interweave Crochet magazine it is the Hot cross slouch beret, in my habit of crochet for other people and not myself at the moment this was for a friend at work.
Well other then these the only other half done stuff I have is for Snoph and her new brother/sister.
The reason for the lack of crochet is mainly to do with being more interested in spinning at the moment. this was not helped by buying myself a new flyer. Pictures of this will come.
