I do. I swear.

I am wondering if the lawyer next door or the artist on the other side of my studio think so too. Like, how many times can the dorky new girl play the f’in cast recording to RENT?

Umm… hate to tell the neighbors, A LOT.

This building is a place that is electric (not just in the voltage/current sorta way). I mean, the convergence of folks that work here is amazing. There is the yoga teacher/massage therapist, the ultimate fighting dudes, the lawyers, the computer guys (Hi Honey!), the artists, the girl that plays the RENT soundtrack and does something with yarn, the crack-o-practor, the Meals on Wheels folks, etc.

So, there is this energy here that is totally refreshing. It is exciting… and I feel more creative then ever. I figured out a new dye technique (new to me maybe) that I am doing on merino top. I had such a hard time letting a lot of them go to Cloverhill. I actually kept 24 oz for me (that NEVER happens…. if I did that on a regular basis I would be more buried in fiber than …. well I am now. ‘Nuff said)

Here is my new roving:

I am loving spinning this. I love merino… sigh.

These are not the greatest photos. I love the very short and subtle color shifts.

So, I am a bucket full of crazy. Overflowing with creativity. And… my attention span, regularly that of a gnat, is much, MUCH more so. The only thing I can keep thinking about are colorways, and more colorways. And knitting lace…. if I ever get back to the melon scarf. See… proof positive of the attention span thing I mentioned.

I am aching for some balance. Well, I am a Libra. But like that balance of work/play/creative time. I know that the mommy of a pre-schooler really doesn’t get that much. But I am hoping. Well, praying really. If I only did not need to sleep……
