Finished Tour De Fleece!

This is what I got for finishing the race! I'm still spinning to catch up on what I didn't get done! YEAH ME!!!

Finished Tour De Fleece!

I finished my first Tour! It was fun and I was inspired by so many wonderful people. I set my sites a bit high for a first timer. Guess next year I'll know better. Here's a picture of my work. I spun the blue BFL/Tussah Silk and plied it with the Green Merino. I spun a vibrant Blue that is BFL/Bamboo that I'm planning to ply with a mystery fiber which is sky blue, thats what I have on my wheel right now. I also spun a pretty pink BFL and plied it with a white baby alpaca and mystery wine colored fiber. I'm so happy with my progress, I can hardly wait to finish what I didn't get done. YEAH ME!!!!

Update on my progress for Tour De Fleece with Ravelry. I have been really spinning away to the point that my knee was hurting last night and I had to re-a-just my position in my chair last night and spin on my toes :) so funny... Better today so I need to keep going .....

Tour De Fleece

Just Joined Team Lendrum Tour De Fleece. I plan on spinning my weeks away!

New Life New Job

Here I go! I have after 15 years been replaced at my job as a dental assistant. My old boss has just sold his practice to a younger dentist who has no plans to keep the old staff.... Guess I get to join the ranks of the unemployed and have the summer to figure out what I want to do when I grow up!

There fore I declare a time of self revival! I have always wanted to stay home more and take care of my teenagers. Have a cleaner house, make more healthy dinners, exercise more and knit and spin more! I have found out during these last few years that I am strong and tough in many ways! I went back to school to help myself learn what I could do with my career and what I really wanted to accomplish with my life.

My husband had been unemployed for 21 months and just recently got a job. I guess that God opens a door just as he shuts a door..... I have to feel ok with this because I simply can't change it... It's not in my power. My faith has got to carry us through this closed door.
