Committing to finishing a bunch of children’s hats I start the day with spinning –of course– What do you get when you have upholstery trim, single ply yarn, kid mohair scraps and over spun purple bits?

My brother used to work at this amazing design and home decor store in Vancouver years ago and he would always save these weird bits for me…At the time I don’t remember being particularly grateful giving it the usual “thanks for more weird stuff”. Little did I know how avant garde and insightful he was. Thanks Richard for the great wiggly bits that made this yarn a funtastic art spin…

And the final package ready for a good home…

This is the perfect example of how my days don’t turn out as planned. Do they sell people blinders? If so, I need a pair. How ridiculous to have a list of things that must be done (laundry for example) and then to dive into something like this…Wait….I will punish myself BY DOING LAUNDRY…..That is my “sit in the corner” stint for the day. But that will have to wait a bit

……I’m working on this lime green and black hat –and that would certainly take priority, right??
Right…..no answer from the craft goddess, oh, er, I’m sure she would support me here.
