tour stages 11-15

yes, there is spinning being done. but first let's look at the interruptions. summer is here, and you have to seize the fun when you can. we spent the night at the lake with grandpa. he's 93 and misses his girls.... all the noise, chaos and fun that five gals can generate. we did this:

with skiing, swimming, nail painting, game playing fun. i did manage to spin each day, but the progress was minimal.
yesterday was guild day with the annual farm visit. we all stayed in the shade, most folks were spinning. the company was fabulous, making the day wonderful.

amythefibergoddess had her garage all ready for us to take over. it was hot. so hot that i came home and immersed myself in the pool. once my core cooled down, i got even more spinning done. i love these little bits. i keep wanting to see what will be coming next. here's what i mean....

see the progression? i still haven't decided how i'm going to ply this, or even if i will. my goal today is to get several more on the bobbin. but i keep getting sidetracked. the latest was to fix these...

any guesses? those are neoprene dog booties. it seems that little red's legs are tooooo skinny to keep them on. why does she need booties? why to go in the pool of course. i had to take the velcro off and sew it back on which allows them to fit snugly. i just carried them out to her father, so we'll see how that works!
