Welcome!

Hello! Welcome to my crafty blog! I update (usually) on a regular basis and include some of my favorite ideas and stories from my daily life.

Spinning Photos

So I've gone from hating this dog to loving him. (Isn't that something?)
Living all my life (all 22 years) with non-shedding dogs to this hairball that drops fur everywhere he walks was a major thing to get over. You so much as lay a finger on a Pug and hair is automatically all over you and in your mouth. It was horrible. Then the more and more I became attached to him, the more I didn't mind.  I guess this is how people come to have to many dogs or cats (I'm thinking of hoarding levels here). I really would like to get a cat, but Frankie (the Pug) apparently hates cats...which is weird because he does so well with Elephant (the Hamster).

Anyways here are some pictures of my spinning progress thus far.
Ty noticed how slow a drop spindle is with spinning and offered to get me a wheel sometime, but wheels are so pricey! So Ty said that he'd ask his dad if he could help build one. I've looked all over the place but I can't seems to find decent wheel instructions that have a treadle and that don't look like they're cheap. If anyone has any ideas on how to build one out of decent wood with a treadle please let me know!
