Well! Please forgive my absence. It has been a hot minute since I’ve shared anything here on the blog. I have been crafting lots and I could come up with many reasons for not sharing but the honest truth is that I’ve just fallen out of the habit! Habits are like muscles we need to use them to keep them strong and I’ve let my blogging muscles get quite weak 🥴 Time to get back into the habit!
Today, I’ve decided to share a few quick shots of my spinning projects. I’ve become much more proficient at support spindling since I last shared and always have a project on my spindles on the go. This photo is of a delightful batt I picked up from the Paisley Defender at the PEI Fibre Festival. It is a blend of fibres and textures and it is such a pleasurable spin. Sue’s colours are always on point too!
The next two photos are finished yarns in a delicious merino, tussah silk, and flax blend from Inglenook Fibers. I am busily spinning away for a Traveler Shawl by Andrea Mowry. I have one more braid to spin and I will be time to get knitting!
I’ll spare you the long parade of projects since last posting but will make a better effort to write more often. I actually really enjoy blogging but with day-to-day to do lists and time demands it is usually the first thing to get shuffled to the back burner.
Do you have habits that you’ve let go a little? Are you an infrequent blogger like myself or a person who suffers from cast-on-itis? Please tell me I’m big the only one to let habits wane sometimes 😆

Hello and how nice to hear from you again! The colours in the fibers are delightful. Gorgeous spinning also. Not been spinning in a while and need to get back to some Merino X that has been calling to me, right in front of my face on a chair. Woof

Hi Simone, Very lovely spins! Yes I procrastinate on many things. I just bought some coated camel colored shetland that I will need to wash. It’s very fine and a 1st clip from last spring! I know the sheppardess and is only 3 hours from where I live. I have really been enjoying Shetland lately. Hope I don’t put this aside too long! Between all the things you do I don’t know how you have time to blog anyhow. Love the 3 of you on Fleece and Harmony!

Hiya, It is my first time here. I love all your crafts. Your work has inspired me to start spinning. I bought a drop down spindle and have been trying the 15 minute a day method. I am in love with your new yarn you made for the traveller shawl. I am far from making anything as uniform and beautiful. Currently my yarn looks like sheep dreads. I am solidering on with dogged determination and perseverance.
Thank you for sharing your art with us. I appreciate all of you. Fleece and Harmony is a staple in my house. My family watches with me. Love to all. Thanks for the inspiration.
