It’s been a gorgeous day, sunny and breezy, 70° all afternoon. The day started out very foggy but by 10 am it was clear and sunny. It’s almost 6:30 pm now and we still have the house open enjoying the fresh air and sounds from a perfect spring day. We decided to dip into ourContinue reading “Clear, Sunny Weekend”

Been A Slow Day
I finally got started on the semi-solid cranberry red yarn. And looking at this photo I can see that the last colorway that had a knot in it about halfway through the ball of yarn is clearly from two separate batches of yarn. Not that it matters since this is a scrap yarn cowl anyway.Continue reading “Been A Slow Day”
Change In Plans
Brad was up and gone early to spend the day on the gun range with the Chief and Officers from Oak Ridge P.D. When I got up about 8:30 it looked like it had been raining and it was foggy. I had hopes of having the house open and working in the garage. Wrong. It’sContinue reading “Change In Plans”
Where Did My Day Go?
Didn’t sleep well last night. Ended up falling asleep in my recliner after a late breakfast and slept until after 3 pm this afternoon. Wow. I’ve been one step behind all afternoon, it’s 9:45 pm and I’m not sleepy. Brad’s gone off to bed and I am done with TV for the day. I’ve readContinue reading “Where Did My Day Go?”
Made A Little Progress
I’m enjoying some plain stocking stitch knitting on a size 3 needle. I’ll need to go stash diving soon to decide on the next yarn for the cowl. I should be able to make a decent dent in the left-over fingering yarn for this project. It’s been cool, cloudy and damp today. Brad was outContinue reading “Made A Little Progress”
All Done
The Timberjack crew finished grinding the stump and got the ground leveled so water will not flow towards the foundation of the house. They left a little after 4 pm. I’m thinking that after the soil and mulch settles this would be a good spot for a new flower bed. I need to move theContinue reading “All Done”
Happy Saturday!
Since it’s Saturday and it’s been awhile since we had a breakfast croissant from the coffee shop Brad drove in and picked up our breakfast. It was more of a brunch than a breakfast since we were both slow to get moving this morning. Up and down, cool/warm/cool weather has our joints complaining and we’reContinue reading “Happy Saturday!”
Inventory Has Begun
I have arranged my bagged fiber on the shelves by vendor and color, mostly. The bottom wooden shelf is nothing but fiber from Allons-Y! Fiber Arts and I have two more partially spun bags off to the right of this photo also from Bethanne. Most of her braids are at least five ounces and aContinue reading “Inventory Has Begun”
In The Groove
I have hit my happy place with spinning, managing to spin a little bit every day this week. Last night I sat down and in less than an hour I spun half an ounce of combed top pretty much with no effort at all. I’m in the groove! I remember this feeling from 2020 whenContinue reading “In The Groove”
Another Frosty Morning
The sun is almost over the tops of the trees, the ground is covered with frost and it’s 33° this morning. A perfect January morning. A perfect Saturday morning. Brad will start the coffee in a few minutes and we’ll have our breakfast and plan the day. He has a couple of errands in townContinue reading “Another Frosty Morning”
