Bud promised all the kids leaded glass lamps for Christmas. He was making them all in earth tones. I tried not to cringe. Later, I wandered into my father-in-law's work room and spotted the blue glass. Oooooh, purty! You like the blue glass? he asked. I like it too. But no one else does. Say, would you like your lamp in blues? Ooooh, yes, please. It was lovely. Looking back, it's the only thing I regret losing in the divorce.

My grandma made quilts. She gave each of us grandkids a quilt for our weddings. I remember a blue star quilt but the one I received was earth tones (what is it with the earth tones?). When she died, there was still a pile of quilt tops. My stepmom buried them in the back of her closet and wouldn't even let me see them, Loss from another divorce.

8/11/2021 A quiet mid day amble around Centenary Wood between Flitton & Pulloxhill looking for leaf mines, fungi and any photogenic subjects.It was cool and sunny at times. The ground was remarkably dry . When I arrived the small car park was covered in litter despite there being two large litter bins in the car park. At the time I arrived there was a dark coloured Renault Clio in the car park that i think contained a courting couple and they were still there when I left an hour or more later. I hopey are not living there?

The trees still have most of their leaves still but a lot were starting to turn. The Oak leaves had numerous marks where galls etc had been but I only found one leaf mine and one insect curled on the edge of an Oak to ID.

A sculpture by Henry Moore right in front of King's Cross station. I think even the author was confused about what it's supposed to mean, given that he literally named it "Large Spindle Piece"...

12 gram Lilac Kuchulu with Kingwood Shaft. It spins like a dream! The fiber on it was a sample included with the spindle, targhee wool (mountain top) from sweetgrasswool. Yummy stuff to spin.

I think this is the bad thing about a drop spindle, the spindle is already full and heavy and I only have spun half of the mohair.

Learning how to use my tibetan spindle. The spindle is gorgeous! It's a Tibetan Lite spindle with spindle bowl from Grizzly Mountain Arts. The fiber on the spindle is Ashland Bay Merino in Pine. It's been sitting around awhile so it became my test subject for learning. :)

The spindle had no nut on it at all when I got it, the stuff was held on by a vice grip.

Hedgerow Harvest

Beautiful pink and orange seed of the spindle. This was growing in a hedgerow by the M11 motorway. The people whizzing by had no idea of the parallel world beside them.
