Weekend Fun
Just a quick post about the weekend.
On Friday, I purchased this SPINNING WHEEL from my friend for $50!! I believe it is an Ariande. I can find no information about it. If you know anything about this brand, please leave a comment. It came with a huge bag of roving and lessons. Too cool!!
See all that on the spool? I did that. I really don't have a clue as to what I'm going to do next, but I'm enjoying the spinning. I need to next figure out how to ply.
Here is a picture of me from Sunday . . . I've lost a total of 33 lbs since the end of August. Apparently it shows now. I've received sooooo many remarks about how good I look.
Thank you! Thank you very much!
On Saturday, we went to the Open House of the National Weather Center. That was lots of fun! Here you see the 11:00 weather balloon that the girls (and about a hundred other kids)"helped" to release. It was "burrrrrr" cold!
It's so nice to be back on Xanga!

A spinning wheel! How FUN! I was at a knitting show this past weekend and was blown away by all the yarn, especially the hand-spun stuff!
And you look terrific! What kinds of exercise have you been doing? You not only can definitely see the weight loss, but you look so content and happy in the photo.
The weather center sounds very cool.
You do look great :goodjob:
You look great!
And whoohoo about the spinning wheel! Have fun!
Congratulations on the weight loss and so glad you did it for your health and family! You look very good.
I haven't found a lot of spinning sites. Blogs of people who are spinners, but not alot of sites with tips and advice or lessons. However, here's one with some short video clips that I found informative.
