It’s here!! At last, it has been travelling for a few weeks over the ocean from New Zealand. Any idea what It could be?…
Now?
Yeah! It’s my Christmas present from my beloved… an Ashford, Joy spinning wheel…. Aaaahhh, what a sight to behold… makes my heart flutter…
Kye was so impressed with the packaging… what is it about boxes and large pieces of paper anyway, they just love it.
Bliss…
Now to share a new book that I collected from the post office this afternoon, it’s called Gorgeously Green I cannot wait to sit down with my cup of tea and read this book from cover to cover, unterrupted, Ahem… maby not, but will try. It was recommended to me by a very good friend who cannot put it down. Printed on recycled paper, the ends of the pages are not completely smooth, (which I love!) it has everything from how to green your home, garden, food, beauty and cleaning products etc… I bought it through a company called The Book Depository, they have very reasonable prices and offer free shipping world wide which is wonderful…
Ok so now I am off to stare at my Joy, read this book and sip my tea… in that order 🙂
I love that fabric on your chair & I can’t wait to see what you do with the spinning wheel!! Take some in-progress pictures for us, please!
Dear Elisa,
Thanks about the fabric, we have placed quilts on all our couches to keep them reasonably clean. I love quilts. This one is one of my favourites… I will post updates of the spinning that takes place, I am so looking forward to getting started.
Take care
Linda
Hi Elisa,
I have just realised you said chair… This particular chair is one I adore! I found it standing alone in a thrift shop and I took one look at it and had to have it, it stands in the corner of my studio and I love to sit there and read:)

yay! have fun with your new wheel. It looks just like mine except mine is a single treadle. I love it.
Dear Sarah,
Thanks so much! You must blog some of your spinning, it would be lovely to see:)

What a lovely new wheel Linda, looks gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing your pics with us, I need to try and do some spinning soon. Just busy scrapbooking and knitting with my new KnitPro’s at the moment, and enjoying some tea inbetween!! 🙂
Hello dear Rene’
Thanks my friend! Aren’t KnitPro’s just wonderful? They are so smooth and the circulars have joins that you can hardly feel… Wonderful!

Wow! what a great package to receive and to open and find that wonderful gift. Can’t wait to see what you make over the coming months.
Happy week
What a great gift, and i love that red and white quilt on the wicker lounge. Your children remind me of mine when they were little, so cute!
I love the new photo on your header too what a beautiful backyard. Happy spinning, reading and cuppa!
Linda – I don;t know how to use but it sure is pretty.
Enjoy. Nicole
Lucky you. All good things come from New Zealand.
