Fighting a cold, staying in and playing in my studio

I  am a school nurse so I am exposed to many germs daily.  I take a big dose of Vitamin E and D during the cold and flu season....but...I came down with a bad cold a few days ago.   I have been taking cold meds, staying home, getting lots of rest, trying to sleep but this terrible old cold hangs on.  I have found comfort in playing in the wool upstairs in my studio.  I am still carding and spinning Mini's wool.  I am blending alpaca in with Mini's wool  to make a butter soft fiber to spin.



But I can dream or wish:
Wish I could be in Nebraska playing outside with Lexi, my one and only granddaughter.  She is so beautiful inside and outside.  She is going to be having another birthday in just a couple of months.  
Or I could be in Michigan with this playboy.

But I have this cold so I will card wool.

Danny took a large mother-of-all from some spinning wheel parts and has made me an electric spinner.  I am spinning some of John's wool blended with other courser wool to make yarn to weave into a rug.  (I use every fiber of my sheep's wool).  I will get you some pictures soon.
