The postman cometh

It's been a while since I blogged, I'm not entirely sure where the time goes - I only wish the working week would go as quickly as the weekend! 

Having been away on a weekend 'retreat' in Yorkshire where a wonderful fibrey time was had, I came home feeling a little deflated and decided to cheer myself up with a little present. 
Whilst away I had had the chance to play with a resin spindle brought along by one of the lovely ladies, and I was smitten. So I wandered round the web and found Spincity UK and it wasn't long before this arrived on my doorstep 
                           

And inside was the most beautiful resin spindle 

Don't you just love those flowers, and it's square! Yes, I know, a square spindle! 
And whilst I was wandering round the etsy shop I decided it would be silly not to take advantage of the postal charge, but I was a good girl, and only the one braid fell into my basket
                   
But oh my! The colours! They are even brighter IRL I can't wait to spin it but I want to spin it on my wheel and though I'm not entirely sure what has come over me I'm actually finishing off the fluff I'm currently spinning first! 
Hopefully I will be back to show it soon
