Posted on July 1, 2015 by silvergrrl

That’s the theme for this week, apparently. Since my last post, I’ve traveled to Hooppath and home again, which was a much bigger journey than it sounds like. I went with the intention of being cracked open emotionally and spiritually. … Continue reading →

Tired Spinning

My Daily Spin – Weekend Edition

Posted on February 7, 2015 by silvergrrl

I’m spinning this merino Fusion at one ounce per bobbin, and I finished the first one Saturday. That meant a nice long session, which was great. Very relaxing. Sunday, not so much. The spinning was good, but not enough time … Continue reading →
