sun + carding

it's been so incredibly sunny, warm and perfect outside this week.  N has been on school vacation and i have had lots of time to spin yarn on the deck while she has been playing in a way that usually involves imaginary dogs, cats, and her most current obsession, teenagers.  and dirt, lots of (real) dirt.  6 is going to be a wonderfully grubby summer.

there is also a drum carder living with me now, which i am so excited about.  this is something that i have wanted for what seems like forever!  i want to offer handcarded batts for sale at some point in the near future, but at present it's just too tempting to spin everything that i have been carding, pretty much right away.  i did have time to get some pictures of this one though:

 

i love it.  i reminds me of watermelon hard candy,  salty tangled hair, sand in sheets, new sandals, the taste of wooden popsicle sticks.   i love spring, but i love summer just a little bit more.
