The
2007 Christmas Spindle.
With this spindle, I break
from my own tradition, and start a new one. My spindles are each
one-of-a-kind pieces, no two are alike. For the 2007 Christmas
celebration, I break with that tradition and offer a special spindle for
a new tradition. One design and limited number of spindles
painted. A treasure and future heirloom. This year's design
is "O Holy Night", painted in the deepest purple and
ultramarine blue, a touch of cobalt, and of course, white. I have
painted four "O Holy Night" spindles that are for sale.
I have not yet decided whether any more will be painted.
Although these spindles are
the same design, being hand-painted, each is slightly different.
A Note: In 2008, 2009,
and 2010 I spent
most of my time making one-of-a-kind Christmas Stockings and other
items, and so did not issue Christmas spindles.

"O Holy Night" No. 1
The 2011 Christmas Spindle.
At Christmas time, we generally think
of all the people in our lives or in the world that need us, or we
need them.
This year, I decided to again paint
some Christmas spindles. The theme is "Safe Passage", and the
spindles each have two views of the beach.
When I stand on the beach and look
out, I wonder if the whales are safe, how are the seals, are they
traveling north yet? And in past years we have had more sharks here
going after the seals, newsworthy events, what is changing in our
environment to have the sharks coming in closer and closer? Great
Whites now common? What has changed, is it global warming?
May each sea animal that passes Cape
Cod have safe passage this year through the migrations that have
continued for millennia.
My spindles are each one-of-a-kind pieces, no two are alike. One design and limited number of spindles
painted. A treasure and future heirloom.
Although these spindles are
the same design, being hand-painted, each is slightly different.
$12.00 each plus shipping as shown
above.

Below
are two more spindles that I have made with Christmas in mind, but
they are not "officially" my Christmas spindles. They are
"Simply Plum", and were painted simply because I love the color
plum! They are painted in a plum color that is slightly darker than
appears in the photos, with blue and violet as well, and for the
first time, I've painted the spindle shafts.
