"I started photographing my domestic world and writing not just about what I had made,
but why I made it, examining the thoughts that accompany creativity and the act of making."
Jane Brocket from The Gentle Art of Domesticity p. 189 UK edition

First Wednesday Spinning

My youngest daughter and I spent several hours this morning at the Damascus Fiber Arts School in Damascus, Oregon, just down the road a piece from where we live.
My daughter had offered to process some wool for a friend in southern California who works in a zoo where a sheep was shorn and the wool was going to be discarded. She soon got tired hand carding the fiber so decided to go with me to use the DFAS carder.
I worked on spinning the fiber I bought at the fiber festival in Canby, OR, this past fall and the fiber I bought from Sosae Caetano for my birthday in February.
We enjoyed participating in the chit-chat with the other ladies who attended, but I was sorry my friend Teresa was not able to join us.
Are your days happily spinning along, too?
