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 …
I have several thank you’s that I need to make for people who have donated sock yarn leftovers to the massive undertaking that is my sock yarn blanket. First off there is Tini, who sent me a great package with some sock yarn, beads and some candy. Always a good combo! Then I also got …
There is really nothing much better than getting real mail and the past 2 days have been most excellent for that here at The Old Chapel. Monday I received my graduation pictures from Florida. Still haven’t gotten my diploma yet, but that’s ok. Anyway, I had ordered a package with four 5X7’s in it to …
Saturday the hubby and I went to Coventry for the UK Ravelry Day. On the way there, we stopped in Leighton Buzzard and picked-up a lady whom I had met on a UK Ravelry Day forum offering and looking for rides. Her name is Tini and we honestly could not have had a better car …
It has finally turned grey here in the Southern end of England and sort of cold. In fact, if I didn’t have a calender on the wall I would think that spring is now going backwards except for a few things. One is that the peonies are getting ready to bloom. I love peonies. My grandmother …
I finally got some stuff in the mail that I had been waiting for. One of the things came in these boxes: For those of you with sharp eyes, you might notice that the tape on the boxes matches that of a box I recieved prior to settting off for the States. Here’s another picture …
So, of course, I get asked right about the stuff that I picked-up at Maryland Sheep and Wool. Ok, so I got a few things (I took a large camping sized duffelbag that was full on the return). Here’s a sample of some of the things that I got in Maryland. These are balls of …
It is a rainy afternoon here in the not so lovely (currently) English countryside. Actually, I don’t know if rain is exactly what I would call what it is doing outside currently. It’s very misty and really closer to a drizzle than a full-on proper rain. Let’s just put it this way, the dogs look …
Yesterday I had a chance to go with the hubby to Bath. He was going there with a co-worker for work while I was going there to get out of the damn house. It gets pretty…..well…… intense if I’m not able to get out the house every once in a while. To put it simply, …
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 …
