One down!

My first official "from the stash" project is complete! It's the Baby Bolero from One-Skein! Plus I mended three socks when I found their corresponding yarns in the stash. Plus I finished spinning one bag of roving, and hope to finish a fleece by the weekend.

And I successfully avoided the temptation to buy yarn at a creative festival last weekend. (I bought fabric; was I bad?? It's such nice batik, will make up nicely into a summer dress and jacket.)

I had to go to the doc today, but got several rows done on the back of my Debbie Bliss sweater while I was waiting. If I stick with it and don't put another one-skein project on the needles, I should have the back done by early next week. It feels good to make progress!

I try to paint several evenings a week; I couldn't decide what to paint a couple of weeks ago, and was torn between spinning and painting. Here's my "compromise:" I painted the spindles! Like it? Make me an offer!

Ern said it is a lovely painting and that you are a very talented craftsperson. He was "impressed" with your yarn stash but still thought I had more !!!

Keep on painting at least 3 times a week ......

Love the painting! What a great idea for a 'still life' - I just might use your idea for my painting class. I teach painting at a small college in PA...keep on painting girl.
