1. A continuous strand of twisted threads of natural or synthetic material, such as wool or nylon, used in weaving or knitting.
2. Informal - a long often elaborate narrative of real or fictitious adventures, an entertaining tale usually telling of an incredible or fantastic event.
3. The act of giving an account describing incidents or a course of events.
To Spin a Yarn:
Spinning a yarn was originally a nautical term, meaning 'to tell a long and often fantastical story for amusement'. Telling the story was thus compared to spinning out a long hank of silken yarn for making rope.
I thought this then was an appropriate name for my blog about my adventures in crafts and other random makes, as well as any of my narrative tall-tales I choose to tell you along the way. I hope to create for you a little haven that I hope will evoke a fairy tale mood, where you can come and escape to a wonderland for a while. I like the philosopy that how you make people feel is just as important as what you make!
Here's hoping that "Good things come to those who Make" - so if you're feeling a little down or despondent this afternoon, why not try doing something creative with your hands. I believe the world would be a better place if more people were doing what they loved, because we never know what can happen when we follow our dreams. I want to carry on being a dreamer for as long as I live and hope to inspire as many of you as posible to come join me.
