"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

Delightful Daffodils & Disastrous Desk & Planting Pansies & Spindle Spinning

Early Wednesday the grand girls and their mom brought two vases full of fragrant sunny daffodils into my room! The eldest GG took this picture.

But although I enjoyed the daffodils all day long, I spent most of my day digging out my desk . . . Ugh

Today I finished up that project . . . Yea !
Then the grand girls , their mom and I planted pansy seeds and some wheat grass.

As you can see the grand girls took their gardening very seriously. After their nap the eldest came racing in to check on the seeds' status and reported to me, "They aren't growed yet. It takes a long time." Indeed !

Finally in the late afternoon and evening, I read and re-read how to spin yarn with my new turkish spindle. I need a lot more practice, but this is the best success I have ever had with any of the spindles I have tried.
Have you tried to spin yarn?
Are you planning to plant seeds?
How does your desk look?
