I’m a tryin’…

…to get the hang of this spinning wheel! It’s a little different than spindling. I feel like I have more control when I’m spinning on a spindle as opposed to the wheel. I think after a few more hours days of practice I’ll have better control on the wheel.

Here’s a couple of shots of what I’ve done so far:

I also started some socks:

These photos were taken with my new Casio EX-Z1080. I wanted a small point & shoot that I could keep in my purse (and therefore always have it with me) that took decent photos and good video clips. It has a sensor size of 1/1.75″ so the pictures are pretty good, and the video is UHQ @ 25fps, so pretty good video clips too (great when you have kids and want to catch those spontaneous cute moments at the park/library/store etc.) And, it’s not much bigger than a cell phone, so very portable!

    that’s what I thought. and she like falls asleep and the prince and his horse go and kill the witch/dragon. and then she awakes from some rockin kiss from him ( the prince not the horse), right? then the whole happily ever after wedding scene happens? then yeah I want to use that spinning wheel. at work we all figured out what princesses we would be. and everyone said I would be belle. cause of the whole loving to read, and brunette hair. and she like becomes bff’s with that light guy. and nicolas said that guy is gay because if nick would be anyone that’s who he would be. and he said it makes sense for me cause they all love me. ( him and his posse of unicorn, glitter, ballet loving friends. it’s crazy..) and then chris asked us who he would be and we said that redhaired stepsister in cinderella. and he got mad and said he thought he was more like Prince Charming and I started laughing really hard… it’s no wonder he hates me.
