The life of a traveling, reading, writing, spining and knitting shepherdess.

Ok, so I am not going to say anything about blueballs, I just couldn’t stand not using it.  I accidentally typed in blueballs the first time I tried to type bluebells.  What can I say, that’s where my mind goes!  So, I’m sorry if you found this post hoping for a cure for blueballs or …

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 …

So, I finally have my “studio”, as we are calling it as it sure as heck isn’t an office, put together.  Of course my room is always a work in progress but here is what it looks like for the moment. As you can see, Meara and Weezy are being lovely models for me by …
