I read and play with string. I watch over >1 vintage sewing machines.

Spinner, knitter, bobbin lacemaker, weaver. Sometime tatter, netmaker, chair caner.
Bread maker, weather geek, chicken photographer.

No longer exactly sure how many vintage sewing machines are hanging around here.

This is a gray tree frog, Hyla versicolor, outside my bedroom window. Twee fwog says BRRRRRRRRRRRRT!

This is the inside of my bobbin lace roller pillow, while I washed and dried the cover.

#BobbinLace

From the inside out: a sturdy cardboard roll, pale green wool fabric, charcoal gray wool fabric, a layer of camping pad (freshly re-duct-taped at the seam), a sewn green wool cover.

The blue cover that goes over all was out in the sun drying.

Red-headed woodpecker from back when I visited my brother "up north" (northern lower Michigan).

I bought an Eldredge Two Spool in March.
