OK now for the positive things - some more photos to share.
None of fiber if you can believe it!
I have done some crocheting and spinning- but nothing I can show here, now.
however, a new spindle arrived from the USA.....
it is a little white church from an eBay seller called Wooly Knitpicks. She has affordable unique spindles- I have only just gotten this one- so am not sure how well it will spin- but I did try a bit of wool that was included and it spun ok. My only real complaint is the that the hook arrived bent over- but I carefully bent it back and seems to be ok.
I took a pic or two this morning- so will share those:

the full length- it has a green agate stone on the end of the shaft.
and close up. Love the purple sparkles that she painted on it. Just a fun spindle. I intend to hang it on the Christmas Tree this year. :)
Here's also a picture of a bird bath:
What? Did you think I would mean something traditional??? No way!
Not at this household!
This is a Spotted Dove having a bit of a drink in the old baby bath. It wasn't meant to be out there for that purpose- but it has stayed out because the bigger birds CAN drink and have a splash about in it if it has water in... we dont' always keep water in that one- but we do the old dog bowl one- so there is virtually always a drink available to them.
Too warm to sit here any longer- but at least there is something new to look at. :)
Hope you are well!

I love that church spindle! And it will look so great on your tree. That dove posed so nicely for you.
Your new spindle looks lovely. Sounds like it will make a beautiful Christmas tree ornament.
Have you tried spinning with it, or is it for decorative purposes.
I did get some spinning done recently, and made a 3-ply yarn with it. It's soaking at the moment, I will be interested in the WPI it ends up with.
