Spinning…and Musicals

I showed my mom the yarn I wanted to buy, and she pulled her spinning wheel and a basket of wool out of the basement. I think I’ll still buy the yarn for this vest, but I would like to learn how to spin. It’s actually very rhythmic and relaxing, once you stop thinking about it. I’m not very good at it yet, as you can see from this example. Although, I suppose the fact that it holds together fairly well when you tug on it a bit is something…

I actually did get a part in Sound of Music – as a nun. It’s a small part, but it will still be fun. Unfortunately, thinking I hadn’t gotten a part, I agreed to accompany a children’s theater production of Guys and Dolls. So, I’m going to be very, vey busy this fall. If I had to go to every rehearsal for Sound of Music I would literally have a rehearsal for something every night of the week except Sunday. But considering it’s such a small part, I imagine I won’t have to be at every rehearsal until closer to the performances…I hope!
