Multitasking is the new black

Not much progress on this:
because I have been doing this:

and this:


Sorry for the dark photos - it's been wet and rainy around here lately (and I love it!).

The hex blanket has "grown" to 13 hexagons. I have missed working on it, despite how much fun I've been having with the drop spindle.

I have produced my first three mini-skeins of yarn! They are far from perfect, but I am learning and getting better with every hour at the spindle. Our instructor left us with two more drop spindles and nine samples of various fibers.  They include silk, soy silk, cashmere, alpaca, corridale, merino/silk blend, merino/tencel blend, Rambouillet/angora blend, and Merino a la Margaret Stove.  That ought to keep me busy!

On Saturday I painted and organized the craft room.  Do not adjust your monitor - I did use a bright color! My craft room is decorated with Mexican Folk Art (Dia de los Muertos, Oaxacan figurines, nichos, etc.), so I took license to get a little Fiesta with the color.  I'm sure it's not to all of your tastes, but I think it's really fun and it makes me smile when I go in there.  I still need to hang my peg board and my storage box, but I'm almost finished with the room.  I'll consider it "Mission Accomplished."

My husband is home after being out of town for a week, so I am going to leave it at that.  More soon.
