Have you noticed how beautiful the light is? The sun is high, mornings begin earlier and the days extend into what were the evening hours. I love it! Like a magnet, the light draws me out of doors. Even before I grab a cup of coffee, I head out onto the deck to feel the air. This morning, like the cats, I headed out time after time, in spite of the 20F temps and a too thin nightgown. It was glorious. Ice out was yesterday, sometime around 4 pm. Poof! It happened so quickly that I wonder if the ice is still just below the surface.
What does this have to do with ten minutes…
Sammy's good, he circles around under my spindle and rarely touches it, even with his tail. He's a spinner's cat and well practiced.
I continue to be distracted. I pass the shop and have to stop. There is something about stone. Seems that there is always time for one more button.

Are the buttons coming to CT??
I’m loving the light in the morning. We actually drive to work in daylight now!
Morning is my favorite time of day…starting at 4:00am. Love the spindle. I need to spindle spin more frequently and keep my practice up.
yep!
everything looks so good!
esp. those buttons! …distraction agrees with you 😉
That fiber is incredible! You need to tell us what it is!
What a pretty spindle! Your cat must be so well trained, It’s hard to even get a photo outside of my projects, the kitties are so curious and have to examine everything. I must agree with your button statement, there’s always a few minutes for exceptional buttons to discover.
I want to see the buttons too! As well as the spindle AND that gorgeous fiber! I’ve been spindling over the last few days on one of my Ledbetters. No cat though – just a nosy dog.
Spindler’s cat. Love that. Dif’rent button size is cool.
I like the earth smells and the bird tweets. I like the workability of the soil. I think we are hardwired for dirt.
Nice buttons! How thick are they??
You always have the prettiest spindles…
And that fiber is sooooo pretty. And the buttons, too.
I pulled grassroots out of my flower beds yesterday – trying to work gently so as not to disturb anything coming up. I had been craving playing-in-dirt!
I don’t recognize that beautiful spindle from your earlier postings. Is that a Ledbetter?
Your cat is better behaved than mine. She laid on the floor under my spindle last night and gave it a swat every time it came near. I could have used the help, but she insisted on hitting it “S”-wise and I was spinning “Z”-wise. Must teach her the difference.
oooo pretty buttons…
Love the stone buttons and the spindle!!
