Spinning!

I recently purchased a spindle kit off of ebay. It is a very cute little spindle that was hand painted. See:

On the underside it has the artist's name and the year

As you can see Andy thought it was very nice as well. I've had it now for a few weeks but had a miserable first attempt. I promptly shoved it back into the bag it came in and wondered what all the fuss was about spinning. So yesterday I was reading blogs and I saw what Sweetgeorgia has been up to and decided to give it another shot.

I was successful this time!! I am so excited. I have a bunch more roving to spin. I am going to spin a bit more then make an attempt at plying. Here's what I managed to get done

Ply me!

In other news the Chanel exhibit was excellent, small, but excellent. We went a second day to see the Max Ernst exhibit. It was awesome! As you can see Dali was very influenced by him. He was also one of the main artists in the DaDa movement.

Regarding the NBaT along, I saw that Theresa of Spelling Tuesday is planning on using All Seasons Cotton for the Nothing but a T-Shirt and I just so happen to have20 balls of that so I thought I would give that a try first. Do a little destashing :)
