waiting for the light
Beau is all put together! All I need to do is sew on the buttons and steam those sleeve cap seams a bit. I've been putting that off in favor of some spinning since we won't actually be able to get any photos with natural light until this weekend. Beau deserves more than a bed shot. Ick. For now you get a teaser:

The brown lambswool there will (hopefully) become another Christmas gift. Depending on how the yarn turns out, it could be any of a number of things. I'm in as much suspense as you.
And, in case you doubt me about the light thing (which I'm sure you don't, because it's probably just as dark where you live), here's what the sky looked like at 5:30 last night:
Dark. Pretty, but dark.

OMG, the sweate came out beautifully. But, where did you get that couch? I am in love!

"bed shot"? "teaser"? I can't wait to hear about the Google hits this post is going to get!
I will always remember Beau in the *Jane* shot with walnuts. Brilliant.

your such a tease. beau looks beautiful draped over the green couch... even out of focus. Can't wait!
Lack of light is killing me too. I don't touch my camera during the week which is heartbreaking but what are the other options?

Ah yes, the infamous "dark season" in Bloomington. I don't miss that one bit.
I'll give you natural light for xmas if you come to Arizona where it's sunny every day! But.....dreadfully COLD.
:) As always your projects amaze me!
Hugs,
Em

I didn't know you were a spinner. How did I miss that? What wheel do you have - is that a minstrel? Beau looks wonderful. It'll be done soon enough.
