Not too much exciting to report! Weather here has now gone into the real fall mode. We are cold and windy and most of the leaves have now fallen off the trees and the furnace has been stoked with wood non stop now for a while!! We had snow on the east side of Cleveland but luckily we missed that all! I have added some new batts to the etsy shop last Sunday and today... Continue reading

Also sad to have to be going back to work in 2 weeks and realize my summer break is now coming to an end!! Sadly I didn't get everything done of course that I had hoped to do, or thought I would but then that seems to... Continue reading

After my class with Pam MacGregor at Woolfest... Continue reading

Well the summer break, as always, started off way too late for me and then it has been at times (well what I think anyway!) brutally hot and sticky with no relief at all, all day or nite!! I finally manged to plant a few of my veggies,(yes still have a couple I hope to still get in!!) which are trying desperately to hang on between the extreme heat, humidity, wild rains and storms that...

Well to say we are glad February is over is an understatement! We have had a very rough time since the end of the month. My husbands beloved father, and my 2 son's grandfather, died on Sunday the 21st. He was a wonderful man. I was happy and proud to have known him for as long as I did. I am thankful that he didn't suffer in the end. We are all devastated by his... Continue reading

Well despite the yucky cold and windy weather it was a nice, quiet and pleasant Valentines for us!! We basically hung out! I did laundry (yes still, again, more etc!) and I did more spinning on my new wheel I just got back from our friend Ed! Who has managed to turn this into one really fab looking and working wheel! It's the same one I got about 2 weeks ago now and I dropped... Continue reading

Well we started getting snow Fri, just as I headed home from Aldi's, and I was sure glad I didn't stop anywhere else because by 5PM it was getting nasty, icy and much colder!! When it finally stopped by Sat morning at about 10AM we had drifts over 2 feet in spots and a good 12 plus inches on the ground!! Plus the winds were howling and blew drifts everywhere! I was glad to be... Continue reading
