Off and on I've been thinking of whether or not I should keep up my blog. I've been dealing with some personal issues lately and I feel sometimes like I haven't been keeping up my side of the blogging bargin. I feel like I've been boring and not very productive. Not productive = no blog fodder = boring blog. But when I think of the friends I now have because of my blog, I know I'd miss all of you too much if I gave it up. So I'll keep blogging for a while longer and I thank all of you for your friendship. It means more to me than you know.
I have a new toy: an Ann Grout spindle.
It's a bottom-whorl spindle with a ceramic whorl. It spins like a dream and for a nice long time. My only complaint is I really could use a notch on the side to run the singles through but other than that, I love it. It's very different from my other spindles.
I'm spinning some gorgeous Polwarth that I'm in love with. My singles are a little too fine for the weight of this spindle but I'm enjoying it too much to switch to another one.
(Hey, Yen, Ann Grout is a potter at State College, PA. We should go visit her the next time I come to visit.)
I have days like that too - where I think to hell with the blogging - but now I just dont worry about what I blog about or when I blog anymore - your blog isnt boring, so dont think that is ok.
