we still have a clothes line

although it's been raining

i do have well rinsed clothes on it

the good news

it's going to sag enough so i can take the splice out of it

the bad news

the clothes are so wet that i may have to run them through the spin cycle on the washer again



however i see light outside

so maybe it won't rain today?



i am about 90 rows off from the end of the scarf i am knitting

then comes.......

something in lace!

i ordered that silk yarn from Spirit Trail fiberworks
in THE most amazing shade of rose pink fuschia
just amazing and glowing
it arrived and now i am to decide what to make from it
do i do something huge?
or a few little things?
( i got a couple skeins)
do i bead it?
indecision is going to be the death of me i swear

well today is bernie's last day of vacation

and as to him not wanting me to make dolls
he doesn't really
it isn't that he doesn't want me to do it
but not in the house
porcelain and doll making does make for a big mess
(huge)
he also would rather i not make miniatures, soap or even can in the house
the house you see is very very small
REALLY SMALL
with no closets and no storage space
the basement has a partial dirt floor
and is DAMP
i could very very easily grow mushrooms there
(actually there are some growing down there already)

i been thinking.......after having run up to georgie up the hill to look at their new chicken plucker (i found it online for them used at a very good price)
and looking in their workshop
i am thinking...........it would be a very very good thing to move some of my work out of the house
no?

now
how to afford a nice big heated and plumbed workshop?

oye

  1. About that silk yarn. It sounds yummy and I roamed about their website and sighed. I don't know if I've ever seen their yarns in person, but just yesterday I was at one of the places nearby that they list as a retailer. I didn't look much at the laceweight yarns, though.

    OK, given the loveliness of that yarn, I think you have to make a big something magnificent from it. For yourself. I don't know anything about beading but that will depend on what you decide to make. But I think one thing.

    Oh, well, that makes sense then that Bernie prefers things sans mess or heat.

    You could investigate building with strawbales.
