Happy Halloween Month---
What a huge group we had! We tried to do a count and it ended up somewhere between 20 and 30!! We had some new faces, some faces that we hadn't seen in months, and then the old stand-bys.Dinah and Jacki hammed it up for the photographer - it was good to see them again.
Pat, Elizabeth and Amy were really concentrating on their spinning.
Melinda was working on some needlework, Pat was taking a break, and Elizabeth was watching.
It's really mostly about visiting - we just use spinning as an excuse to visit!
Dinah put her hands on Steve's fiber and had to have it. Steve is trying to wrap it up for her.
And Jim just turned ??, so there was a birthday cake to celebrate!
Steve and Betty posed for a quick photo (yes, it's really me in the photo).
I wore my "special shirt" for Jamie and then he wasn't there!
Maggie spinning on her "new" wheel, while Dan, Amy and Karen are visiting.
Kat is learning how to use wool combs - I was kind of hoping to be like Tom Sawyer and have her comb the whole bag of Cormo that I brought. But she only lasted about as long as I did...
Outdoors, the construction crew was hard at work building a well house for the farm. Sparks were flying (isn't this really a great action photo??).
Jim W., Troy and Kal worked to complete the job. It was great weather for working outside.
Approaching completion. 
Fortunately the outdoor project finished in time for Jim W. to share a few jokes. Definitely Back Row only...
Pat, Elizabeth, and Troy sitting calmly, right before a minor candle fire emergency caused the smoke alarm to go off and then First Alert called because of the smoke alarm, and it was almost even more exciting. I was thinking police, fire department, ambulance. Jim was thinking how the dickens did they know that the smoke alarm went off. Kind of big brother scary.
The evening was rounded off with my camera turning itself off and on, prompting a camera lesson for Steve. I drooled on Kaylan's camera and she drooled on Steve's camera. When he's not looking, I think I will "borrow" his camera...

I fell short of my photo job by not getting a shot of Christina's new projects - her jewelry making. She wore earrings and a bracelet that she had made since we last saw her, and they were awesome! Congratulations on your new endeavor, Chris!
Next spin will be Sunday, November 16. Time will be 2 p.m. and bring a dish to pass. As an added bonus, Melinda will be teaching us how to make wet-felted flowers. If you are planning to attend this mini-workshop, get in touch for a list of supplies and a "spot" at the workshop.
And a Halloween reminder - don't eat too much candy!
