Vince talks slow and monotone . . imagine that when playing this conversation in your mind. He was talking with an old friend today and Tom asked him if I was still quilting. This is Vince’s response:
Oh, she’s so far from quilting. She’s into knitting now and knitting everything she can find. And then she decided she wanted to spin so we now have three spinning wheels. Then she decided she needed fiber animals so she could spin fiber from her animals. And now she wants to raise alpacas and rabbits. And, of course, she wants me to grow food for the alpacas and rabbits!
Poor Vince. Who feels sorry for him?

I can hear in his voice the love and caring he said this with. We know he there is nothing else he’d rather do than be needed!! Well, he may rather shop but this helps keep him fed and spoiled by the “knitter”! This is very funny though!

That’s not exactly what I can imagine when I think of him saying it. In my mind, it’s more like “you won’t believe what the crazy woman wants to do now!” 🙂

Too, too funny 😀

A typical male response, no I don’t feel bad for him. I miss your quilting possibles, and your designs.
Susan says
No sympathy for Vince here. If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy! =) I think he likes all that stuff, otherwise, he wouldn’t help! No one ever made a man do anything he didn’t really want to do.

that’s exactly how it happens. i grew up with looms but just after getting married my dh bought me a spinning wheel. i learned how. we got a sheep. we bought several angora goats, then angora rabbits, then some exotic breed sheep. i’m sure my dh sounded just like Vince. enjoy.

I wish I could get into something with yarn, but not so much for me. I live right down the road from an amazing yarn store . They have a fiber arts show in the spring and there are lots of spinning options, animals, etc. One lady was just sitting with a rabbit in her lap spinning yarn. It was pretty cool, but made me itch and sneeze just to see it.

He is a saint with really nice knitted items. Lol

But underneath all that talk about his ‘crazy woman’ , lies a heart that adores the crazy woman. Life with a crazy woman is much more fun!
