Spring spinning in Redmond....it is 65.. therefore... "spring"


Our spinning guild met at our local library.
Lovely room, bright and sunny, with very
nice murals. That's me in front of the
unicorn... having fun now!! Note the
cool 3D bobbin!! Christmas present from
dear daughter Tracy.

We have had a whole lot of deer lately. 5 bucks in a group one day,

one place long enough for a picture.
