Weekending
Saturday morning, the momma robin flew off the nest, followed by the remaining two chicks. It was raining. There was a lot of calling between the adults and young. We hope for the best. Sunday cleared a bit and kept a good breeze blowing all day. As soon as it dried out enough, I headed up t...
I water weekly and feed with miracle grow when I remember. Just dont overwater.

Friday's Photo
I have many orchids. Although they bloom off and on year round, most begin blooming in May and display through the summer. This is a shot of a few that are crammed together on a shelf in my back room. Individually striking, enmasse.. amazing! Have a great weekend.
Thanks. I am so happy to think that youre smiling. I keep thinking of you.
Have a safe and wonderful trip.
Id forgotten you went to KC. Kept thinking it was Philly.
You know I guess that I was at RISD.
Off to set up NH SW as soon as we clean up. Truck is packed.
Best

The weekend started early.. Friday. Rough Point tour with the WGRI. The mist, the mansion, gardens, tapestries, ocean, cliffs.. We fell through the rabbit hole. On the way home, a stop in Fall River for Lebanese pastries at Sam's. I stocked up in meat pies for the freezer and stood at the cou...

I'm going to try something new. On Friday, I will publish one photo taken during the week that I particularly love. It maybe something beautiful, or maybe something that tickles or disturbs.
Looks great! Haven't even thought about tilling.

SPRING!!!
Its officially spring, because I'm getting crazy in the garden. Lettuce and Spinach in shallow wide pots on the patio: And a new, exciting tilled and amended beds to go along with my raised beds (the herbs are stll in the back corner over the stump): A new way of planting the strawberry beds...
I am really enjoying it. I never learned to use layers so this is perfect. Did you take any other than the mini?

Here it is, 6:15pm, Monday evening, and I am only now sitting down to write a weekending post. I've been SO busy! I'm thinking that it is an early case of spring fever, brought on by the fabulously beautiful and deceiving spring weather. Even now, as I type this, I have to pause.. the turkeys...
I thought so. :)

Sculpted fabric
Shibori. As no one really wants to haul floor looms to monthly guild meetings, the program co-ordinators plan wonderful lectures and workshops. Friday, Mo Kelman gave a morning slide presentation of her fabulously organic sculptures and afternoon workshop on shibori sculpted fabric, using sil...
I know. I want to make another.

There is something about leaves.. I love their shapes. A pattern with knitted leaves nearly always catches my eye. So, when I saw this little sweater, I knew I had to knit it. Pattern: Cascade by Raya Budrevich Yarn: Ball and Skein Providence Needles: 7 US This little sweater is knit i...

conflict resolution
There was quite a ruckus outside our kitchen door this morning on the breezeway. You see, we have a few hens who take a very long walk every morning, through the woods, past a pond, along the side of the road, past the garden, beyond our perimeter fence, and up the driveway to the front door...
Not surprising with the hogh temps.

Standing at the bedroom window. Listening to the frogs and the distant rumble of thunder. Beautiful summer night.
Thanks. You are right about the order.

Ten on Tuesday
Summer Reading.. hmmmmm.. I don't usually do the Ten on Tuesday lists. I enjoy reading them, just never signed on. However, today I find myself on the slowest dial up connection probably left in this country (at least the third world has wireless), plus I really like the topic. ahh.. Summer R...
great!! Chris will be with me this time with all the winders. See you there.

NH Sheep & Wool, already!
whew! Please don't mind the colors. It was dark this morning when I unpinned Susan's lovely Feather Duster. I wanted to get a shot of it before it was folded and packed into a plastic crate. I'll tell you more later. It was night time knitting this past week. I wish I'd had more time to...

Three Good Things...
There is some annoying stuff going on around here. But I'm not going to talk about that. Instead, I am going to tell you 3 fun things: 1) Because of some wetness going on around here, I felt justified in buying these...and they're really fun! 2) Because of some sewage issues, I got to kidnap S...
Okay, I see the sock part, but.. where's the monkey?

SOCK MONKEY!!
I am knitting one of the BMFA sock monkey kits. He is truly adorable, and cant wait to get him done. Right now he is mostly only a head: I am also working on TKGA's Level 1 - Master Knitters Program. I signed up to do it before I moved back to New England, but never took the time to sit and...

PICTURES!
Here are a couple of pictures of me modeling the Rooibos Vest. Pattern from Knitty. Although I probably should have taken pictures right after I put it on, instead I wore my outfit all day and wrinkled it up before I could get Marva to take a couple of pictures. Still, its pretty cute. I...
Thanks, Lynn. I have a long way to go.

We are very, very lucky to have the Slater Mill opened once again to support the textile (fiber) arts. Last month, knowing that my schedule could almost handle it, I signed up to take Jan Doyle's weaving class. It is more of an open workshop, all levels of competence, working on projects. ...

I get the willow connection but never heard about beaver. Tell me. Are the beaver medicating?
Snow flurries everyday. Only about 8 on the ground. Very unusual to have so

walk with me wednesday..
Look at this, I’ve found proof. The seasons are changing again and spring is on the way. It’ll take months, longer than the groundhog predicted only a couple weeks ago in Punxsutawney. What can he know of our seasons so far to his north? It is only the middle of February and here in the Kin...
Looks like a very productive day!

This weekend Dave totally overhauled my loom on Saturday. Naturally, on Sunday I immediately wound a warp... And then started tying it on... I was also totally inspired by Katy's spinning (forgot to take a pic) and Marva's Sewing. Marva made up this bag to carry her rigid heddle loom... ...
I've read them all. Some more than once. Some read and listened to. I'm ready to start all over again.

Last weekend was so much fun I want to rewind and do it all over just the same way. Of course, through my whole retreat, and two nice hikes with Murph, I didn't take any pictures. Instead, I present to you, my dinner: Another in my veggie meals series, this is Easy Mexican Pan Bread from Diet...
I remember the silence. The only white noise was the blood rushing in my head and that of my heart. When we finally got a space heater so that we could leave in the winter without freezing everything, the sound of the pilot nearly drove me crazy. Eventually, we did get electricity and the sounds that go with that became part of my life at night. The refrigerator hum still wakes me sometimes.

Part 1: About the Cabin
{My brother and me circa 1997} A post about The Cabin is long overdue. I mentioned it when I first started blogging, people asked me to talk more about it then and I didn't. I always felt badly about that. I never forgot. I doubt the people who asked even read this blog anymore, which is a s...

Actually, 2 ounces OVER. I did up this turquoise merino silk batt last night. (The last one still in my posession of this batch - as two were gifted and one was already spun up.) It turned into the MOST BEAUTIFUL turquoise yarn with just a bit of sheen to it: Its so hard to capture the esse...
