Owning a number of different spinning wheels, I have accumulated a lot of bobbins. And, we all know that you can NEVER have enough bobbins. Last weekend I happened on this little drawer unit at IKEA. It is perfect for storing all my bobbins and other wheel related paraphernalia. Each bobbin type has it’s own drawer. It comes in four colors. The only one I saw was this green and it was on sale.
(Too bad that store didn’t carry the bright red one.) I like it so much I’ve entertained the thought of driving 45 minutes each way to get a second. But. not. today. Problem is, I need another item that won’t be in for a week or so. I’ll make the trip then. And THEN, this little cabinet will not be on sale.
Some answers to the comments on the Corn Dish:
1. beat the eggs, milk flour & salt together with a whisk
2. add corn and blend well
3. put pad of butter in baking pan and preheat til melted and pan is very hot (around 375-400 for maybe 10 min., you’ll have to watch it)
4. pour mixture into a preheated baking dish or cast iron pan
5. Bake until it puffs up and the cracks (if there are cracks) dry.
Answers to the comments on my crocheted baskets and their occupants:
1. they are NOT embryos from outer space, but cicada shells
2. The fiber was natural, I don’t remember what, I made them a while ago
I finally had time to re do my podcast list and download Cast On and a few others I enjoy. I listened to an episode of Cast ON that I had missed. It talked about finding one’s muse. Which brings me to my new theme for Wednesday. I’ll be doing a Walk with Me Wednesday. I walk. It is my time for reflection, and my exercise. I almost always walk in the woods, it is my muse. If not, I find a trail along the water, a back road or some such place. I rarely walk on pavement. Only when the ice is too bad to walk elsewhere, will I walk on paved roads. Most of my ideas, the jumping off points for my thoughts, come from what I see in nature. The Trek a long was a good start. I don’t propose that this be a kit a long. But, if you care to, share your walks on Wednesdays.
This spot of light in an otherwise darker shaded wood caught my eye as I passed. It seemed out of place, like the spot at the end of a rainbow. I stopped and looked at it for a bit, then took this picture. It wasn’t until I was looking at it in Photoshop that I noticed the patch of red that showed through the trees. What was it, I wonder. Someone else on the trail?

What a nice way to spend Wednesdays. Mind if we join you?
Lovely. Now I can get my New England fix vicariously through you. Thank goodness. This time of year always really makes me long for home.
Wow, that photo is surreal. That strange beam of light, and what IS that red thing? Spooky to think you stood there, took the picture, and if there WAS a person there, that you didn’t know it. goosebumps.
Nice … tho I wondered if the red was a random leaf or two. I’ll join you on your walks…
Great idea, Judy. I can picture you on your walks, thinking, pondering and finding inspiration. And strange red objects.
I’ll just walk through your blog since I don’t always get out during the week and once it gets below -20*C, I don’t walk outdoors unless I have to.
Hmmm sounds like a good idea. I need to get Maggie out more and this sounds like a nice way to do it 🙂
I enjoy your blog very much, you have a very wide range of interests and it shows in your writing and pics.
Could you please name that IKEA peice, I went on the web and couldn’t find it. It looks like what I want in my sewing and craft room. Thanks.
