Spinning alpaca

I am spinning alpaca that I bought at SAFF. It is black and very light grey and is lovely stuff. Riley is where he always is when I am spinning. It is fairly cold outside but the sun is shining and it is a good day to spin.

Apron for Carlton

Carlton said he wanted an apron too. He does a lot of cooking so I made this for him. The square on front has his name machine embroidered on it. The red fabric around the name is a print of pine cones.

January Apron

January apron is a bright fabric that I needed to use in this dark, wet depressing weather. Made me feel better. The apron has a narrow row of eyelet around the skirt but no other embellishment. I used McCall's 5551.

We are having flooding around this area. It is too bad some of this rain can't wait until summer when we are in a drought.
