So, Christmas time is here again and if you’re struggling to find presents for some of the people in your life, let me make a few suggestions of things that I have found to be wonderful. These are all things that I have either used myself or friends of mine have used and really liked. …
Yesterday I got the word that it was time to go get some fleeces that I have been watching for the past two years (at very high speeds as I drove by!). I thought that they were Hebridean sheep but I found out that they were Black Welch Mountain sheep instead. I think I can …
On the eve of The wedding, the hubby and I went to Ashridge to take some pictures of the bluebells in full bloom. The next day the hubby and I wandered next door to the neighbor’s house to watch The wedding. We don’t have any tv reception, thus couldn’t watch it live at home. Luckily, we have …
I am trying to avoid housework. This has taken me to such a level that I decided to catalog all the different breeds of sheep fleece that I have currently, both processed and raw. It wasn’t as big of a list as I had thought it would be… Blue Faced Leicester (colored)-Raw Fleece Cheviot-Both …
In the field over the road today we have lambs being born in: One’s Two’s And Three’s! The score so far (it’s a little after noon) is 2 singles, 2 twins and a set of triplets. 9 so far today! (sorry about the photo quality, long range lens with little moving things….)
So I figured that I’d share with y’all the totally rocking day that is this Thursday for me. What I’m up to: +Packing travel knitting for The Netherlands. (Spending a week+ with the designer seems like a good time to knit one of her patterns if-you-know-what-I-mean.) +Filling-out a scholarship application. (I probably shouldn’t try to …
Last week I was in Finland. This was a slightly postponed birthday trip (it seems that my birthday trips keep getting later in the year, if I keep it up at this rate, I’ll be taking my birthday trip in June when I’m 80!) as my birthday is at the end of January. However, I …
My favorite box of Kleenex ran out today. I love the little sheep on it. Especially the little, lonely, black sheep on one side. I kind of want to keep it, but that’s just a little too Hoarders-esque even for me. Sigh. I tried to find more of it at the shop, but now it’s …
This past weekend I once again ventured North. On Thursday I left the Chapel in the morning and headed towards the Yorkshire Dales once again. I wanted to visit a few places that I hadn’t been able to see the last couple of times that I had been in that neighborhood. The drive up isn’t …
I’m sure that some of you have noticed that I haven’t been on here in a while. That is because, my dear readers, I have been asleep or catching up on things that needed catching up on here in The Old Chapel. Mostly sleeping though to tell you the truth. I turned into sleeping beauty …
