It Doesn't Take Much

To make my littlest angel happy. A kiss for her favorite Disney Princess and her Daddy close by...
 
 
We spent the day at Disney with the kids.  Well I spent a few hours.  It's time to face up to the fact that my spoon supply is nowhere near what it used to be.  It took all afternoon and evening to recover:)
Moving away from the kids here will be hard.  Why is there always a trade off?  I'd love all my kids and grandkids to be gathered close at hand instead of scattered to the four corners but I guess that is the way things are meant to be

On the fibery front, I managed to spin 2 oz of Heavenly Wool in the colorway Salamander on Julius...

 
It's taken a long time for things to click for me with the wheel but I think I have finally figured it out - at least the basics.  Off to spin a bit...

And Here I Am...

Finding My New Normal is a spot for me to share all that is happening in my life.  Not that it's all that exciting but there are many changes coming so my vision of normal will definitely change.  I also want to be able to share my journey as a creative person who loves knitting and spinning both on a wheel and spindles. 
My hubby of 42 years and I are getting ready for a major life style change, the second in as many years.  In 2011 we moved out of our home of 30 years to live with a daughter and her family.  It was a huge step for us but it was only 50 miles from our old home.  Now we are looking to move from sunny FL to northern VA.
I am excited but nervous...
Currently I am a Fairy Godmother in Training...




Who knows what lies ahead...
