I've been de-cluttering like crazy. I have loads of stuff to take to the thrift store and I have been brutal in that I'm even throwing things away that have no use, things that I'd be embarrassed to give them away. I'm de-stashing yarn and fabric. I've decided I'm a yarn geek not a sewing geek although I can sew and do sometimes, it's more on an as needed basis than a love. I now admit to being a yarn snob. I won't refuse some acrylic if it's colors I love because acrylics do have benefits. I love yarns that drape and feel lovely to touch.
Now that I have made some room, I made myself a spinning corner in the living room.
Just above the chair you can see some recycled sweaters bags I finished a few weeks ago. They are a bit warm for the summer, but I will love using them this fall and winter to hold works in progress.
A current crocheting project in some absolutely divine yarn, Frog Tree Alpaca. It will be a spiral shawl.
Neither of these gets across the color very well but does show what it looks like in different lighting.
love the bags :)
ReplyDeletewow! these bags are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSeriously! You should see about taking photos for a fiber magazine. The sujects are beautiful, and the photos are art. I'm tempting to print that spindle picture and frame it.
ReplyDeleteOkay, it's a spinning wheel. Does it have a spindle? I'm not sure where I came up with the word now.
ReplyDeleteYour spinning corner looks comfy.
ReplyDeleteGreat bags, by the way.
I love the bottom one. =]
