Monday Meanderings

Is there anything more beautiful to a spinner than a batch of newly completed singles?
I was able to spin the entire third - and final - bobbin of my blue merino on Saturday...with just a little bit of help from the ball of singles I spun on my drop spindle. I almost hated to transfer the spindle-spun to the bobbin, but I wanted a nice three-ply, and that was the only way to get three even bobbins full!
I'm very glad to be done with the blue merino. It's gorgeous...but blue is not my favorite color and I was getting a wee bit tired of it.
That was just one of the things I was able to accomplish on Saturday. I had a wonderfully peaceful day, and was able to accomplish EVERYTHING on my list! Including...
I finished the first half of the Swan Lake stole,
Sewed the buttons onto the Princess's new little vest and
Fixed the buttons on her February Princess sweater.
Things are definitely looking up in the crafts department!
Sadly, part of why Saturday was such a successful craft day was because I managed to wear myself out at the gym earlier in the week....causing yet another crash and burn.
Ugh.
Looking on the sunny side.....I decided to use this whole mess as an opportunity to change my life!
Drumroll, please.....
I'm in the process of transitioning to a vegetarian diet.
Why? Well the current diet just isn't working for me...for a whole lot of reasons. I feel I need a change....a big one.
And quite frankly, this time of year that's the way I tend to go anyway.
