Living the Home Life

My Matchless Friend and Big Blog Change Issues

OK, in spite of my internet woes, I'm going to give posting my wheel pic another try.  My husband actually has a little side business working on computers (in real life he's an accountant), but doesn't have any html experience to help me change anything here.  I'm going to see if I can find HTML for Dummies or something, because while I do want to make some cool changes, I haven't been successful at doing more than adding a Verse of the Day box, and that was a simple cut and paste deal.  www.homeschoolblogger.com has some good advice on their forum, so I need to go study that along with all my other little projects.  I'm also going to try some internet searches on html if I can stay on long enough.

Here I am again, and as per request, I left the pic bigger this time.  This is me spinning on my Schacht Matchless, and that yummy blue fiber is merino/silk blend.  I've been playing with it off and on for quite awhile, occasionally swapping out the bobbin and playing with some other stuff.  Now, I don't normal have a huge Mary shrine in my living room, but we moved her in for the winter because she is usually outside in my little bed of roses, and I was afraid ice or something would fall on her, and like my dear son says, you just don't shove the Mother of God in a corner of the basement.  The scene you see out the window is our front yard.  You can just see the fallen pine that came down this winter in a big wind storm.  You see no curtain at the window because I'm in the process of preparing to paint this house for the first time in about 15 or so years, and it really needs it.

Normally I pull my wheel over to my recliner, which puts me at a comfortable height and ange for spinning, but it wasn't very tidy there, so the window scene works better.  I'm actually sitting in my recliner now with my laptop, and I can look out that very same window. My fondest dream would be having a great big sunny room all my own to set up my wheel, loom, sewing machine, the whole deal, where I could look out the window and see nature while I work.  Our house is small and dark and sometimes makes me feel like a mole.  I want to repaint in spring colors to brighten and cheer the place.  Unfortunately, I need to go through and patch up the walls and ceiling first, though.

That's enough talk for today,  but I'll be back!
