Proof that not all of the bugs are in the garden these days.
She followed me home, can I keep her?
I finally took the plunge and bought a spinning wheel. It wasn’t the one I thought I was going to buy, and it wasn’t the one that I really wanted but the Ladybug will do for a first wheel.
I almost got blindsided when I set aside my prejudices and tried a Saxony-style wheel (Ashford’s Elizabeth) and fell in love. The fact that I’d have to rearrange the whole living room to fit her in kept me from justifying the purchase. I can’t guarantee what will happen next time I’m wheel shopping though. Who needs a couch anyway.
Sunday Supper
Sunday supper was eaten in a restaurant this week. Jack has been visiting his daughter for several days and his flight arrived right around dinnertime. I had declared the house a no-cook zone while he was gone and couldn’t think of a good reason to change that ruling until tomorrow. The crying baby in the next booth almost made me regret we didn’t eat leftovers — until the warm brownie and ice cream arrived for dessert.Yum.

I think I may have alluded to the fact that I’m working again. It’s the same contract position at the same place as last year. This time there’s a possibility it may turn into something permanent so this assignment feels like a three-month job interview. On both sides. While the position would draw on my detail and organization skills, as a creative outlet it hardly registers on the satisfaction scale.
All the more reason to break out the fiber and book some spinning classes.
So, no guarantees, but a very real possibility that I’ll be among the permanently-employed next year. Needles crossed for me, OK?
So what’s on your plate these days?
Yay!
Congratulations on the new edition! & The job!!! Needles crossed!
xo
Cute little bug! ; )
Congratulations!!!!! How exciting. And, needles, fingers and toes are crossed on the job front!! Nothing near that exciting in my world, but I’m ok with that;-P
Congrats! Let us know how you like your Bug, I’ve think they’re adorable and would LOVE to have one!
Another spinner comes into the fold! Hooray!
My British friends call this kind of job situation “being on appro.”
Fingers crossed for you.
Awww, I hear good things about that wheel, congrats!
heh, don’t you just love no-cook zone weeks?
Needles crossed!
Sweet! What a pretty wheel!
Enjoy enjoy enjoy!
Yay! Congratulations!
Crossing my needles for you! Yay for the ladybug!!! Nice photo!
OH, congrats on the wheel! It actually is a good, versatile, portable workhorse that is excellent for a first (or only) wheel.
