Here is a picture of the roving that I did for a custom order this week. The batch came out beautiful, much nicer than the picture. I am tempted to sell my current camera on "you know where" and find one that is a bit truer with the colors. I used a different process to dye this roving. I did it in three stages with the last stage (the purple part) being painted on by hand. It was a lot of fun to do and I think I might do a similar batch this weekend only in a different color scheme. The problem, and it isn't really that much of a problem, is that it takes 2 to 3 days for each batch. Hubby just loves it when I have pots and jars of roving all over the kitchen... something about allergies to wool. I keep telling him to find me a house with a summer kitchen so that we don't have to share.
Work has been too much like work lately. Every time year end rolls around I wonder why I decided to go into accounting. I haven't even done any spinning lately. Now that I have finished Harry Potter life can get back to normal... once I see the movie this weekend that is.
I wish I had some news on moving but I don't. I didn't really like the inside of the house that looked so promising from the outside. Small rooms with old wallpaper, old carpets, forced hot air... it wouldn't be a problem except that chances are I will have to do everything myself because of Phil's back and I don't want to buy into a big job if I can help it. Plus, these people are turning down good offers which means they want the full asking price... for an old house that needs work... good luck to them.
