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 …
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 …
I’m sitting here typing waiting for the obscenely quiet washing machine to finish washing the load of laundry I just put in. If you are in a hurry and were just wondering if I am still alive I will give you the brief synopsis of what has gone down. We all made it fine as …
So, one of the many things that are going to be difficult to get used to in this country is the customer service in the stores. I’m hoping that it will be a bit different out in the country but I’m not terribly hopeful. I did end-up going to a yarn store in London. I’m …
Tonight was Yarn Therapy night at Infusion Tea. God knows that I needed some sort of therapy after the day that Monday turned out to be (the cat peeing in the bag was just the straw that broke the camels back [though if that made the camel easier to comb so I could spin some …
Packing continues here in lovely Apopka. The yarn room continues to be filled with more boxes and containers than were even in there previously. It is interesting to see the house seem to gradually empty into a couple of rooms which are completely impassible. It will be an experience for me once everything is once …
What a fun day. Today I went to the S.O.C.K.S. (South Orlando Crocheters, Knitters and Spinners) 5th annual Distaff day. It was a blast and the first time that I have ever gotten a chance to spin with other people. It is also the first time a photo of me spinning has been taken. The folks …
I ordered a pizza on-line for dinner tonight. While this may seem like no big deal to a lot of you out there it is a HUGE deal to me for 2 reasons. Reason #1 Up until a couple of years ago you couldn’t order pizza in any form to be delivered to this neighborhood …
So, I am back to washing wool. I still have a long way to go, but have gotten through most of one box that has vexed my husband by sitting in the kitchen for a few months now. I have found that (gasp!) smaller batches actually make the whole overall process go more quickly. Go …
I am writing this post from Infusion Tea, a cosy tea joint (that just sounds wrong on many levels yet I persist in using it!) where I am waiting for somebody (anybody!) to show up for Yarn Therapy night. Last week Lily and I were the only ones to come (along with a lovely, though non-yarny …
