I love you– I really do. But we need to get a few things straight:
My dogs will never be vegetarians. I appreciate your sentiment about my animals eating other animals, but they were designed to eat other animals so I’m not going interfere. Besides Greta’s bowels do bad things when she manages to get a [...]

I ordered some custom stitch markers from Opal and she surprised me with a whole box of goodies along with the markers.
But first– the markers. Lets just linger here for a moment to let the glory that is handmade goodness sink in.
Just breath. Relax. Try not to covet. It feels like warm sweet sunlight showering [...]

and never quite caught up.
I haven’t put forth any serious spinning effort in a while, every once in a while I grab my spindle and work on the reddish brown baby alpaca but the wheel has languished in the closet since August.

Any post that starts out with a cute little kid is a good blog post right? You know I aim to please, so here’s Lexi modelling her duly adapted jeans. Note the linen ruffles at the bottom of the legs– that fabric has been here before.

Oh, the mail man brought good stuff for me from Opal! The cookies and macadamia nut chocolates were in serious danger once Lexi saw them. She grabbed the boxes and ran (for kind of chubby 3 year old that girl is fast) yelling “Opal cookies!” (Think she might remember the last box?) I recovered most [...]

Now I lay me down to rest–
a pile of lace upon my chest.
Should I die before I wake–
that’s one less yo, k2tog I’ll get to make.
Amen.

I so had to search out the color chartreuse because for the life of me I knew there was a thing named Chartreuse where the color was the same as the color chartreuse but I couldn’t for the life of me remember what it was. Turns out that it is a brand of bright green/yellow [...]
