Labeled

Earlier this year I designed and purchased sew-in labels for things that I make.

Labels

Sometimes I got the labels sewn in,

Bag-labels

Open-cover

iPad-label-Pat3sometimes I forgot, and sometimes I couldn’t figure out how or where to attach them so I left them off.

So where or how would one attach a label?  That’s why I left them off.

Changes

Yes, I’ve had a year of changes.  Major changes.  Some good and some not so good.

I’ve thought about blogging since my last post way back in April and I’m finally ready to put type to screen, or whatever we want to call this format.

In no particular order some of the changes include moving, working, sickness, deaths, and many planned and unplanned trips.

Mr. Aitch’s father passed away at the beginning of July.  IPad Cover aunt had pneumonia two times and passed away at the end of July.  My sister-in-law’s mother passed away in early September.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.  It’s been a tough time and I’ll post more later.

Spinners

Guess what?

OK, I’ll tell you.

I’m retiring on June 30.

Yup, only 90 more days to go.

Mr. Aitch and I have discussed this change in our lives and have come up with a very lucrative business to give us more income in our Golden Years.

We are in the process of setting up a silk spinning company.  Using spiders to spin webs that we will harvest and turn into very strong and beautiful yarn.

During my Spring cleaning, I discovered several places that are full of these beautiful silken threads.  I didn’t want to stop the silk production so I left the spiders where they were and just took the webs.

Now to clean, card, and spin my findings into beautiful yarn.  Any spinners out there who want to help?
