We've had a lot of beautiful autumn days so far. Tuesday was one of those days. The sun was shining and made a perfect day for washing some windows. The temperature made it lovely to be outside and pull the garden that the frost had taken. A nice warm breeze was perfect for hanging out blankets on the line. I could leave the door open while dragging out the basement "barn room" rugs and boot trays to wash outside.
Oh, the list never ends...
But, I had something else on my list.
So, Tuesday afternoon was mine...alone...
with a DVD that I borrowed from the my local spinners and handweavers guild...
and my spinning wheel...spinning soft alpaca....in the kitchen, with the warm sunshine streaming in the window.
I needed that. I should do it more often!
Take the time to do what you love. You deserve it.

someday I will learn to spin so I to can sit in the warmth of the sun and enjoy!
You are so right, we deserve to treat ourselves to something we love everyday.
Would love to have a peek at that DVD!
Enjoy the rest of the week!
Right you are! This is one of many anti-ageing techniques but we will keep it OUR secret!!!love & light.Debi
Sounds like a wonderful afternoon...you are right we do deserve it but we generally don't take the time!
Cheers
Farmer - Learning to spin is easy...but you have to let yourself slow down first. You'll love it. (Check out Wooly Knits n Bits blog below for a testimonial on falling in love with your new wheel!)
Debi - I just wish I had figured this out years ago - might have less gray hair and wrinkles by now.
Heather at Azure - you are right and yes, it is wonderful!!! I imagine you find the same 'place' working with your jewellry tools that I do with my wheel.
Great way to spend the day. And you are right about taking the time to do what you love, absolutely.
oI have a special spinning spot now, we finished our mud room last week and it is lovely and sunny. I have my wheel set up in front of the big patio door. On the nicer fall days we go out on the deck in the sun.
I want to thank you for helping me pick a wheel that was right for me, I think of you every time I sit down.
