New Ivy spindle

Got unfinished top whorl drop spindle from Ebay, but really wanted something unusual on it! And I asked my dear sister (shes really good at art) to make my spindle look nice! And Voila! my spindle looks savage, handpainted with acrilycs and covered with clear varnish! I love it! Thanx to my dear sister!

Cant wait to spin some yarn with my new improoved spindle! Happy days!

Purple Haze

Was busy spinning, doing some cross stitching too, and still running my crochet club! :) So all good!
Want to share my handspun wool! I absolutely love it! Its too purples mixed together and I called it Purple Haze (yeah baby!) :)
This wool is:
2-ply, soft as a cloud, and its handspun by me, and also it has lovely purply colors in itself! Brilliant!
Thank you for visiting, come again!
