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 …
So, I have been a very bad blogger! Are you gonna spank me now? Huh? Didn’t think so. I know that I’ve been bad but I actually have a pretty decent reason for it. I was in the US for the past week+ and I didn’t have a whole lot of internet connection nor time to connect. …
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 …
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 …

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. …
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 …
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 …
Ok, so I know I told you that I would review Inside Crochet the next day. I am a very naughty monkey I admit. Instead of making a blob post I made cookies and went to a cocktail baby shower (more on that later). I’ve got to start saying things like “in the next post” …
