Fizzled

I'm not sure how I managed to keep up with this blog for over eight 

years....and then just kind of "fizzled" out on it.

It's always been my intention to keep posting, not so much because I think many people stop by to visit and read, but more to keep a record of some of the things happening in my life.

I'd love to someday have my blog printed into books...lots of places do that.  I know my grandchildren would enjoy seeing themselves on the pages of a "good book"!

So I think I need to motivate, and get back into this bloggy business!  It's such a good place to share fun photos. I mean someday I may want to look back and be reminded that a cement duck (and some colorful beads) lived in my backyard!

Spun By Me

I don't spin yarn ~ that's not why my blog is called "spun by me".

To "spin a yarn" is to tell a tale. It's the act of giving an account describing incidents or a course of events....it's keeping a blog!

So I don't spin yarn but I do spin a yarn or two......

In the past women used to spin yarn on spinning wheels, frequently gathering in groups while doing this. To pass the time, they often told each other stories. In time the words came to mean the production of the stories themselves rather than the actual work they were doing. Hence, while spinning yarn they spun some yarns too.

Anyway I thought I would like to put a spinning wheel on my blog. Maybe in the header ~ maybe in a sidebar ~ maybe wherever!

I "googled" spinning wheel and came up with several. So far this one is my favorite!

 

Kinda looks like she's wearing a spindle on her head!
