I set aside the cotton spinning for a while and returned to the forlorn looking spindle of lace weight alpaca. Ah, spindling where have you been? This is the same red/brown baby alpaca that I was spinning. It so lovely and soft. It’s weird how wire hard singles can turn into the loftiest softest yarn [...]

I decided to go easy on myself with this next bobbin of cotton yarn. I’m using the unsupported long draw method so the single is about 3 times the diameter of my first cotton yarn with roughly half less twist. The spinning is still slow, a little faster due to the bulk of the yarn. [...]

“We come in pieces. Take us to your litter.” My husband said “Someone took all the sunshine and tubby toast and left these dead bodies.” Lexi said “Ok, my kitties.” Josey said “Why don’t they have tails?” Greta says “…” And that about sums it up doesn’t it?

How do I say this? Do I just confess and get it over with? Do I delete the pictures, kill the witnesses and pretend this never happens? Do I ‘fess up?This is what happens when I’m working. Today it looks particularly hellish, like a tragic craft tsunami hit the dining room. It couldn’t all be [...]

Soul Calibur marathons really are something special here in the Meyer household. Look at the love between father and son. Here is the boy-child, note his father’s shiny pate in the background. Perhaps this is the very moment where his character says something charming like “Die already.” Doesn’t that just warm the cockles of you [...]

But I have a fridge now. When the house broke it didn’t break the fridge, but the thing was old and running constantly and constantly driving our electricity usage up. Matt and I debated for a few days while the old fridge was unplugged whether it was worth sending it in for a tune up [...]

I have to be, that’s the only thing that could possibly explain how freakin’ weird things are getting. This year is starting to show a disturbing trend for our family. Since the beginning of the year we’ve managed to have one good family emergency, dilemma, or drama at least once a month. Matt packed up [...]

The hits: I’m spinning Blue Faced Leicester, and wondering “Where has this stuff been all my life?” I have three 8 ounce bags; one each of white, sienna and black BFL. It’s fabulous, very similar in handle to Shetland although I tend to want to add more twist to it. I like the rich dark [...]

The weather is confusing today. Yesterday we had a garage sale, we were planning on going through the weekend, but as soon as we decide to take the things out of the carport and set up it starts drizzling. Then we put things away again and it starts shining. It’s one thing for me to [...]

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I know everyone thinks they have the cutest kitten ever, but this kitten is the cutest kitten ever in a coffee cup, that has to count for something. The kitty’s name is Blue, and she’s about 10 days old. Other than being cute she doesn’t do a whole lot. [...]
