This Christmas was full of both surprises and non-surprises, equally appreciated. The velvety, rhinestone-studded hoody I'm wearing in the photo was a surprise from a friend. Another friend surprised me with the cute sheepy denim apron; the trio of special treats is from my sister.
The biggest surprise arrived in a mystery box. It was postmarked from a town in which I know no one, and the card with the wrapped gift inside said, "Merry Christmas, Michelle" . . . with an indecipherable signature. I racked my brain all day – and finally guessed that the signature said "Ed," which meant the package was the Lark Jenkins Turkish spindle I had requested when I gave Ed the bubinga boards from my dad. But when I opened the package Christmas Eve, it was not one but FIVE Jenkins Turkish spindles – he made me a complete family of his spindles out of the bubinga!

So there you have (most of) it. It feels a little awkward to share, but I do enjoy reading about and seeing the tokens of love that have warmed your heart so decided to join in.
That's it for now from . . .

Now you need lots of roving for all those new spindles. Someone at group last week said she couldn't spin a new roving because there was already another on her spindle, friend told her no problem, get more spindles.
A selfie??? LOVE it! And what a lovely selfie, if I may say so. Looks like you were all very good this year...those spindles are beautiful!
Michelle,
Love your selfie! The spindles are beautiful! I'm sure you will put them all to good use. Your new Bible is awesome...I know my Grandmother would have loved large print. Any idea of lambs to come??
For now, wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!
There are people with just ONE spindle?!? ;-)
Why thank-you! I usually hate photos of me; I don't hate that one….
No, no hints on lambs yet. Happy New Year to you and yours, too!
