very quiet weekend

I had a very quiet weekend.  I spent most of the weekend watching Masterpiece Theater and spinning.  I am spinning lace weight yarn which just seems to take forever to make a ball of yarn.  But it is soothing and meditative, which is what I need.

Last weekend I cut a strangely polka dot fabric.  One side of the polk a dot is cut off.  It is a black Italian wool that I have been looking at for months.  I cut two dresses out of the three yards of fabric.

And this is the A-line dress I finished.  The other dress is sitting on my ironing board waiting for me to start to stitch.  The cleaning of the worktable and the spinning of the yarn has taken precedence.  I have decided fiber must come to the mountain with me for sanity sake. 

I would make such a good hermit!
