*chortles like a madwoman*

Spinning? It's like soothing crack for my brain. I've broken down and started bringing projects with me everywhere...including work (mostly for Fridays and Saturdays, after the real work is done). If you ever want every random person who sees you to strike up a conversation? Bust out a spindle. For serious. I've had more conversations with coworkers today than I think I've had all week, and I haven't exactly been quiet. I'm also making progress on my maybe-lace project that's been dormant since December. (It'll probably end up closer to a light fingering, but that's still major progress for me!) It's preeeeeetty - a gorgeous blue/brown blend with plenty of sparkle that twists and changes at random.

This post brought to you by the letter 'B' (for boredom), and the number Crackferret.

Good luck on the strawberries! I feel for your lack of berriness. The ones I just got yesterday for the muffins were definitely end of season berries here ... I'm a little sad. And I kinda paid a lot for them too, because they were farmers market but not pick your own - I mean I know it's not the point of fresh, local organics, but... I could have bought ripe berries at the store for half the price, too.

Don't be TOO jealous though - the muffins are OK, not great. They were good last night with the sugar-syrupy-slices, kinda like eating strawberry shortmuffin? And if I thought it would last, I'd mail you a muffin. :>
