Finally a cooler somewhat wet day with occasional showers, but much appreciated after the heat wave.  Finally getting settled after a long absence from my blog.  I have been doing some spinning at the Taylor Bray Farm wool day.  I am doing a great worsted in a dark purple border leister silk blend.  It turned out really great, the color was Purple People Eater.  Now on to the lighter purple called Lupine.  I also have about two ounces of dark purple hand dyed silk hankies.

Other thoughts include finally starting to do more tapestry weaving next month.  I have been thinking about starting a Tapestry Certificate of Achievement with the United Kingdom Guild of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers for some time.  Life has gotten in the way the past couple of years, but I think now is the time to knuckle down and get going.
