Today I got this package delivered to me. It is from the British Wool Marketing Board. I placed an order with them for both some posters and some wool for spinning. Today, I got my posters, as well as a few other goodies. I ordered the posters to help decorate my attic yarn …
This week I started a project journal. I want to be able to look back and see what it was that I made and what kind of yarn it was and where this object ended-up. Since nearly all of my projects are given away, this is a thing to track. I have my “things I’ve …
Today I found the local boarding kennel. I say the as there is only one that is, what I would call, nearby. It’s in a small village (about the same size as Ivinghoe Aston) called Horton. Every time we drive through it I think or say, “Horton hears a what!!!?!?!“. It’s an illness, I really can’t help …
This was a busy weekend. On Saturday we went to Leighton Buzzard for some supplies. We decided to to go to the downtown area of the village rather than the sort of outlaying area that we usually do. I had heard rumors of a yarn shop there and the market was going on. So, we …
Today I got a visit from the Yarn Fairy. He came in a red truck with yellow Royal Mail lettered on the side. Actually, I got the package that wonderful Lily sent me from Florida. Lily zipped this off to me as soon as she got the yarn S.O.S. that I sent out. …

One of the things that you learn pretty quickly when you have taken as many tests as I have is that the question with the word never in it is usually not the right answer. The reason for this is pretty simple; there are very few things in this world that are without exceptions. The …
I have been making flowers today in a couple of different forms. I spent most of the morning and a lot of the afternoon sitting in the shadow of the conservatory on an upturned former cat litter bucket wearing a t-shirt and jeans and my birks. I filled pot after green plastic pot with potting …
Tonight I finished my final term paper as an undergrad. There was no blare of trumpets or very official man in a suit to shake my hand, yet it is done. All I have to do now is walk, and let’s face it, I don’t have to do that to graduate (I would only …
Tyra, put that pattern for a baby sweater down! I’m not talking about me (yet) but rather my neighbors across the road. There are, at last count, 4 sets of twins in the field next door that were not there yesterday. In fact, one set I got to see being born this morning on our …
