Slowly, but Surely

Two bobbins down, one more to go! Hurray!!

It’s been a busy week, and a messy week. The reading of this post by Felix this morning made me feel so much better about my messes (those both literal & figurative), and then this one by Ms. Half Soled Boots cinched the deal because they both rang so true for me. Thanks ladies, for sharing a bit of your lives and your messiness, and making me feel a little better – and not alone – in my own. Count me in on the messiness, and the posting of said messes. I have many more thoughts on the subject, but you’ve said it all already.

In the midst of the messiness, spinning has been soothing and fun. Look! Somehow these two just go together, don’t you think?

I hope your weeks were not too terribly messy (or rather, VERY messy indeed, if it means that you had fun, spent time with people you loved, and exercised your creativity – dishes be damned!)

    I’m there with you on the messes…I clean up the house..then turn around and wonder why I bothered!
    I appreciate your spinning but alas do none myself!

    I think it’s my preordained mission in life to make women feel better about themselves. If that means admitting that it’s been three months since I cleaned the bathtub, so be it.

    Very pretty spinning, Mel. The pictures are soothing.

    Gorgeous, as usual! I look forward to learning how to spin next weekend – yay! I’m taking Judy’s class. So, I’ll definitely be in touch with you. It seems like forever! Have a great rest of the weekend.

    Beautiful photos. I love the colors, and your spinning is so even!

    I’m definitely with you on the messiness too. :)
