You are looking at another 48.56 pounds of spinning fiber. I weighed the contents of one basket, no problem. I weighed the other basket including the contents and then weighed the basket and subtracted the difference. Same with the plastic bin. A lot more there than it appeared to me at the outset. The lighterContinue reading “It’s Adding Up”

A Slight Miscalculation
The 10 lb estimate I gave for the Allons-Y! Fiber Arts fiber stash turned out to be 24 lbs. Next up is what you see in this photo. The bottom shelf is easy. Those are 1 lb bags of fiber, all seven of them. The two baskets and the plastic bin contain samples of fiberContinue reading “A Slight Miscalculation”
Busy Friday

We are back to more seasonable January weather with a chance of light rain in the morning and possible rain/snow mix laterContinue reading “Sunshine And Frost”
Hello, Sunshine!
On those mornings that I don’t wake up before sunrise it’s nice to open the blinds to see the sun shining brightly.
