Week one of a 30 day stay home order is down. My life is oddly the same and yet the difference is apparent in a big metropolitan area like the Las Vegas Valley. It’s much quieter in our area, lots of song birds to enjoy. The oddest thing is not to see the planes landing one after another and the strip is not as bright. Yes it’s still has the lights on for the most, but its empty. I have set this time to finish projects. So my wheel is out more regularly in the morning with afternoons used to concentrate on UFO. My unfinished project box is going through a purge. This means those projects that were hopelessly tossed in for later, either get scraped completely for something new or tossed out if they are beyond all hope. But for those that remain, they are getting laid out to finish. On my wheel I have two spins going at the moment. A beautiful 4oz purple braid from Corgi Hill Farms of BFL and Tussah silk 75/25 blend named Lavender Tea. This is an UFO started in November and Friday night I finished the first bobbin, roughly 2oz. Then for a change up during my LYS virtual meeting I broke out a beautiful dark spooky 4oz braid of Falkland from Desert Panda Fiber Arts named Haunted House from my stash. This is wonderful shades of brown, grey and stark black. Both are wonderful to work with.
