one of my favorite stores
to walk into
and
walk around and around in
is called Spun
big open lots of light high ceilings old polished wood floors
yarn threads creative needlework whatnots spread throughout
filled with people happy about creating things
woven together with their hands
while not my practiced arts
i sure do love the energy

we spin our own yarn,
and where end up is really,
in fact, where we always intended to be.’

I learned to crochet and embroider at a very young age, (knitting came a bit later) but have never used any of the skills very much.
