Fun Spinning Project

 There is a Spinalong to Knitalong sponsored by Andrea Mowry. I joined by purchasing her Jaunty Shawl pattern then buying some fiber from Hello Yarn called Little Jaunt.  I thought the names  went together so well. The first, of two, bags of fiber went through my fingers over the weekend. I made twelve little soft nests. On Monday I pre-drafted  them and started spinning on Tuesday. Today, Wednesday, I finished the first bobbin using up seven of the nests. Such a fun activity.

The finished bobbin.  You can see it is ghastly yarn but it makes me happy anyway.

These are the five remaining nests ready to spin. Maybe tomorrow…

After both bags are spun and plied I will knit that shawl. It is pretty likely I won’t have enough yarn but we shall see. Fun anyway… It will be interesting to see how all things work out!

We Have A Budded Daffodil!

 Here is another of God's wonders, right in our front yard!  I love daffodils.  They are such a sign of hope.

One of the beauties of this scene to me is how many more daffodils there are this year.  When I put them in the ground probably three, maybe four, years ago, there was one daffodil.  Also one hyacinth.  I hope that guy comes up eventually.  I adore hyacinths.  They are so beautiful and are so fragrant. What is not to love?!!

How Glorious Is Our World!

 Last night we walked out of the house to assist at the FamilySearch Center.  This is what we saw at the end of our street:

May I say that I am so very grateful for this beautiful world in which we live!  There are so many moments such as this.  I hope it is comforting and inspiring to all.  It makes my heart soar.
