…how ironic this setting it…Eany & Meany perched on the axe handle. Nothing is put in the pan here, except the eggs. Farm fresh is the best. These two chickens were born in late August of this year, with their sibbling, Mo. Their mom was a Buff Orphington, Eggy, all yellow [...]

I have made progress on my HGS, though I was busy washing the woodfloors by hand yesterday, and spinning, I have dedicated 20 minutes a day on the new wheel.

It was “Directory Assistance”. There was a message for me from my Uncle. I called back, line was busy. Wow, I knew something was up if I was getting a message via phone to return the call.

Santa was good to me. Here’s a pic of my new spinning wheel. It came with four bobbins and a knitty-knoddy. Now to order a lazy kate to go with it. I made a pad for it out of scarp fleece and the fabric used on booted pj’s, the non-skid bumpy [...]

Ballet T-Shirt Pics

I had to use my dress form to model the Ballet T for me as I am home for a few minutes between running kids to doctor and dentist. (Jake is not happy that he didn’t get “just advise” about his face (acne) but that he has creams and pills to take).
Here’s the [...]

No pics yet as I am finishing up the wash and rinse of this great little piece. I love the shaping of it. Was bummed to find that Pacific Fabrics no longer has Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece yarn, there was no Brown Sheep at all, Reynolds Lopi was all gone too. They [...]
