40th Birthday: A Crazy Little Idea

by Syne Mitchell, 16 January, 2010 - 23:19

The day I turned 30, I had the great good fortune to do so surrounded by the SWG spinner's group.  I had been a bit melancholy about leaving my 20s behind me, but spending the day with an amazing group of women, spinning fiber into yarn, telling tales, laughing and generally celebrating life, convinced me that the best was yet to come.
