If you said “Time Traveling Bunnies, then yes. You’re right.”
I was originally going to put a little bunny from this book on the bag and then…the Lost lightning struck. And while I watched The Tudors
(honestly - could Henry the 8th even have dreamed of looking that good?!) and a mini Food Network marathon (I am [...]

Sorry to disappoint you {or conversely: relieve you!) - this is not about the 7th, or the Minus 1th Episode of the Lucasfilm series.
It has been outrageously slow at work this week. Monday morning - no children showed up. Weds. - 1 child. Thurs - 2 and today -3. The weather has been wet and cold and [...]

This is going to be a bleary-rambly post. I am too excited to go to bed. I just spun and plied my 1st ball of yarn!
This is how I spent the better part of my day - on the couch, pre-drafting my wool, watching Rome Season 1.
I thought of Navajo plying, but really I don’t [...]

I have long admired the beautiful yarn, artfully displayed on many blogs. I have toyed with the idea of taking photography classes - but hampered by time and finances, this has remained an idea frequently pushed to the back of my mind.

As it turns out I quite like the colour of the tinted primer. After consulting my cousin, an artist masquerading as a contractor, I decided to forgo the paint and leave the primer on its own. It is a very tranquil purplish blue - the chip I originally chose is called Hydrangea and actually [...]

After reading Jessica’s post about Wishing I thought I had better take advantage of the fact that I have the house to myself and finally paint my bedroom.
God - I forgot how much work the prep is. Of course if I was even marginally organized it would have taken very little time to remove [...]

Ooh - I have had so much fun tonight!
Survivor AND my KnitPicks wool came so I got to try hand dyeing.
So much fun.
Doncha like seeing it resting on the rustic bench? It just sort of belongs.
I decided not to dye both - I was worried it might go very badly and it sounded so messy [...]

Yay!
The seams are sewn and now this mukluk awaits it’s mate. Then the fun of felting begins.
After reading other blogs I am feeling a little nervous that I didn’t do any trial swatches…I never do. Could be a problem.
At the moment this mukluk is a thigh high!
Tomorrow night I will begin the 2nd.
