fridays, niddy noddys and orifices ...

how did it get to be friday ... no seriously ... how DID it get to be friday ...

i was just enthusiastically marvelling about monday ... and voila ... friday ...

what happened to mid-week ...

where did thursday go ... anyone seen tuesday? ...

i know last night sped by because i was in a spinning class ... no not the sweaty gym type of spin class but a spin class as in spinning wheel, fiber, wool ... you know the kind ...

prick your finger on a spindle and fall asleep until the love of your life kisses you to life ...

it was fabulous ... i love spinning ...

have you ever been on a ferry for any length of time and then when you lay down to sleep, the bed rocks like you are still floating ...

last night, my foot kept going up and down, gently, as i was treadling in my sleep ...

spinning dreams i suppose ...

so here's my first effort ...

it's been carded and it's been spun ...

i then removed it from the bobbin to the niddy noddy (how can you not love a craft that has such divine terms as niddy noddy?) ...

it's a bit twisty and in places it appears as though caterpillars have spun cocoons ... but i like it ...

and, out loud in a classroom setting, we get to talk about the "orifice of the spindle" ... really ... i am not making this stuff up ...

so despite my best intentions, here it is friday again ... i hope you have a wonderful weekend ... i hope to spend time feeding roving through the "orifice of the spindle" and i shall try and restrain myself from using the niddy noddy in an inappropriate fashion ...

happy weekend ...
