Life is full of adventures

I've moved to the Philadelphia area. I'm closer to my family, and though it wasn't my choice, I will start over here and I will make a great life for myself.  I will forever feel a great loss regarding Thelma and Louise, but I can't bring them here. They will have happy lives somewhere else. The Wednesday Spinners have been the best friends ever and I will genuinely miss all of you ladies. I hope to still keep in touch. I'm terribly sad I won't be there to demo weaving with flax at the Commonground Fair. I know it'll be awesome. 

I'm still going to make all kinds of things. Moving does not change who I am. I'm an artist. I will create and reinvent. 

I'm making a scarf currently. It's Icelandic wool and it's lovely. 

Made this one yesterday. It's 100% merino. So soft and warm! 
 

As soon as my things get to philly (my camera and computer etc.) I'll take real photographs of these as well as a gorgeous silk and merino scarf I made a few days ago. 
 

another beautiful day.

So far today, I've cleaned out the barn, made three chicken pot pies (one for the freezer and two minis for my day with Susanne tomorrow!), baked cookies and now I'm relaxing on the deck weaving. 

 

warping.

Well, I'm done with the blue and white warp. Learned a lot. Made some good rugs. Made myself one to stand on while weaving. 

So now I warp. I'm winding some awesome ORANGE!!!!

 

 

 

Sunday.

 

spinning with Thelma and Louise!

I spun from the washed lock and double plied it. Amazing. It's Nash Island wool. 

Also skeined up some Lincoln singles for rugs. 

 
 

 

happiness

 After the Bragdon siblings got my fence going (thank you Wendy!!!), they are enjoying how happy Thelma and Louise are. 

After spending some time in the new pasture with my beautiful girls, I had to cut some watermelon and bake some cookies (with eggs brought to us by a neighbor). I made a batch of coleslaw and started dinner too. As I cooked, I could watch the girls out the window. 

Now, my girls are in bed. The house is locked up, Kylie is asleep and I am knitting a cardigan. 

Happiness. 

 

today

I woke up and fed Thelma and Louise, my new sheep.  They are happy and healthy and two months old. Louise is dark in color. She's a coopworthXRomney and Thelma is white. She's FinnXRomneyXCoopworth. They're still nervous, but they are getting used to me. 

 

 

Then I spun a lovely Lincoln fleece from the lock. 

 Rug yarn. Nice.
