Friday morning, and Thursday did result in almost all the batt club boxes making it out the door. The remaining 4 go today, whew! Yesterday also brought me this: Thank you, Amy! As it happens, I was just thinking, “man, I need a little bag to put some of these things on my end table […]

Well, okay, nose to drum, I guess. Enlarging the Batt Club membership a little means that instead of having a pile of boxes to take to the post office this morning, that pile will be heading out this afternoon, except for a few of you, whose packages I managed to get out the door Tuesday […]

As of this writing, there have been 82 responses guessing the yardage on this bobbin: And the finished skein is dry. I’m sure you have all been waiting with bated breath for this, too. It was rough on me waiting to skein it and finish it, let me tell you! I skeined it yesterday, so […]

It’s an utterly bleak and gray rainy day. I’m thrilled. Unfortunately, they’re saying on the radio that even if it rains all day today and all day tomorrow, it won’t likely be enough to make a huge difference to the crops, and we’ll still need several more inches of rain, soon.

In which we celebrate our 100th blog post! And some straw polls! And a contest! And some eye candy!

So here we go. Let’s kick it off with some storm eye candy! We needed the rain, because… My poor lilacs. Do you think they’re dead? I’m afraid so, despite the evidence you see there — a hose, a watering can — that we tried. So this morning’s storm was welcome, and I hope we […]

It’s pushing 100 degrees Fahrenheit here again today, still with essentially no rain. It’s officially being called a “moderate drought” now, and it’s pretty much for sure there’ll be negative effects on crops — and they’ve said “corn” out loud, which is terrible. What if the sweet corn is all mealy? Talk about a summer […]

Well, realistically, this week, I’m finishing up that plying video, getting my son onto his summer schedule, and doing some more dyeing, plus getting Cardzilla’s motor handled, doing some more photography work (just wait till you see what I’ve got to show you), trying to organize my office, and drinking lots of coffee.

But that said, here’s my sales flyer.

Well, here it is, Wednesday morning, and I haven’t gotten that plying video done yet. It might happen today, but there’s also some production work that has to happen, it’s the boy’s last day of school tomorrow and he’s got a couple of days of early release, and lo and behold, it turns out we’ve […]
