my brave little toaster

I may have failed to mention that I got a(nother) spinning wheel! This is a Wendy Wheel by Pipy and I love it! Somehow this little wheel reminds me of The Brave Little Toaster. So sturdy and bold!  A friend of my is a vigilant watcher of  the Ravelry boards, back in January she saw that this was for sale and  in Manhattan – perfect and no shipping.

At the moment I am spinning some icelandic fleece as a part of the Explorers group of my spinning guild.  Truly these Pipy wheels spin beautifully – if you are a wheel lover and have a chance to buy one, may I suggest that you not pass it up!  I also have an original Pipy – courtesy of  that same ever vigilant friend who now that I am writing this out is appearing to be more and more of an enabler!  I would also suggest that you get one of those friends – ever vigilant and on the lookout for things you love!

I already had an embarrassment of riches where spinning wheels are concerned and this one puts me even more firmly in that category — and I don’t care!  did you check out those quit smoking stats?  I haven’t come close to spending all that $$ I’ve saved!
