Hi!

It's been like ages since I had last checked my da account! I haven't been so busy with university (I mean, I have... but not so much I couldn't come around here), but I have been going out a lot :D.
Anyway, I haven't done anything crafty lately... partly because of lack of time, but mainly because something is wrong with my spindle... no matter what I do it won't spin well! I think it might be too light, because once there's about 100g of wool in it it gets better... but I don't have enough patience to use it! And the other reason I haven't done anything is that I am almost out of wool... the farm's sheep won't give me any until december. I bought some from a friend, but I am not sure when I will get it.

Well, I hope you are all doing well! I replied to comments and replies, and I promise I will check deviations and journals as soon as I can :hug:.

thanks for the link dear, and I'm sorry I've not been very active lately... the busy life of university I guess. I promise I will do some macrame as soon as I have the time :hug:

And how have you been lately? I hope everything goes well :)
