As I spin up the camel and gold wool I have a growing concern that there might not be enough of this batch to make the hat. Then I filled up the second bobbin, there might just be enough. I was planning on doing contrasting bands in the natural color. I did dye some uncarded [...]

My singles from the dyed roving are coming out a little fuzzier than I’d hoped. I’m  adding a little extra twist for a harder more defined yarn. Sometimes dying does a little to correct the texture, this time that was not the case– I’m sure I’ll live through it. Pretty sure at least. Today is [...]

Itchy has some anger management issues. I guess it’s common for Bettas to be aggressive, but Itchy takes it to a whole new level. I fed him this morning and although he likes the little freeze dried bloodworms he told me (and I quote) “I’m so sick of these motherf*cking flakes in this motherf*cking tank.” [...]

This is little Eggmond, he’s only 2 days old, but soon he’ll have a full head of luscious wheat grass hair. Lexi made two egg heads but she’s refused to allow me to photograph them because she wants to post them on her blog. For some reason I thought this project would be a little [...]

There are rides, but the main attractions are fairytale and western themed walk throughs, mazes, tunnels, and slides and tons to see so the kids actually end up [...]

I woke up, had a cup of caffeine free herbal tea, sat at my spinning wheel and listened to Eric Clapton unplugged as I plied yarn. What have I done with the real me? Obviously, I am not me. I just can’t be. Look at my poor dog. Georgia knows that I’ve been taken over [...]

Not for me, for my dogs silly. I bought some vitamin and mineral supplement for Greta and Georgia, and because it’s liquid the dosage is doled out in teaspoons. 1 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight. Because in my former life I was a bartender I know that one ounce is one shot, and [...]

I have looked everywhere I’ve actually thought to look and my yarn winder is gone. I am also missing my knitting bag that has my nostespinne sitting in the bottom of it. I am center-pull ball incapable at the moment. That man, you know the one; he’s about 6 foot, lean, nice strong features, and [...]
