I am really looking forward to November (as well as Wovember) for Felix's new book. When I pledged, the Kickstarter had just begun but I knew it would be a success. Sometimes there is a Creative Freeze and seeing things differently should surely help in defrosting!!
Felicity Ford's super-cool upcoming book
Okay, so there’s a Kickstarter campaign to fund Felicity Ford’s book on designing colorwork from images in everyday life. You’ll want to go look at the presentation over on the Kickstarter site, and don’t you love the fact that it got fully funded very, very quickly? With Kickstarter, only fully...
Thanks so much for sharing your adventures!! The sheep with the silver(?) back and black tummy was so beautiful.
Shearing a lot of Shetlands
Wow! I get to write a blog post! I greatly enjoy doing them, and it’s been a while because I’ve been (1) on the road and/or (2) beset by a lack of ability to connect to the internet. Item 1 has been temporarily resolved. We're still working on item 2. The Orkney/Shetland posts are not complete—w...
What a beautiful tribute to your Mom. Tears in my eyes. Her smile is so happy. Blessings to you and your family.
All shall be well again, I know (Julian of Norwich)
Allene Robson (locally known as Mom, or, by some, Gramma) May 19, 1924 to May 31, 2013 May 20 to 25, 2013 - hospital: broken hip, clear directives in place for what she did and did not want in the way of medical intervention May 25 to 31, 2013 - Serene Corner, Kenmore, W...
Wowie!! All those bags of wonderful wool!! I have several friends who go to Maryland for the Wool Festival every year but I haven't made it yet. From your pictures I can see that it's a fiber person's paradise!!
Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival 2013, a random report
I love the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. I love other festivals, too, but Maryland was my first wool festival (many years ago, when it was substantial but significantly smaller than it is now), and always gives me a feeling that I'm going home to a place and a community (of humans and animal...
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dear Tussah. Kim of I'm Gonna Tell Mom blog posted a wonderful poem about dogs. I think it's still there, right under the Chickens on the right hand side.
Nothing can take away the cherished memories of our loving, faithful pet children.
Tussah: 19?? - April 23, 2013
We were Tussah's third home that we know of. She lived with us for eight or nine years. She was somewhere between six and eight years old when she came to us. She had initially been abandoned at a reservoir in North Dakota. From there, someone picked her up and took her to the humane society ...
Sorry--I thought the J Visa worked both ways. Good thought anyway!!

Great information. I told my daughter about your teaching issue in UK and she suggested checking out J Visa.

This sounds like something very exciting is about to happen!!--another book, perhaps?
Sending more wool locks off to be photographed
It's been a busy six weeks. In addition to finishing work on the manuscript for a new project, I've selected, labeled, taken reference photos of, and packaged more than a hundred locks of wool. Four breeds are missing. One (Stansborough Grey) should be en route. I hope we're able to locate...
