(Robbie Williams at the AFL Grand Final last Saturday.) Victoria goes a little bit mad in September : call it the Victorian version of the Super bowl in the USA… Paul and me are big AFL footy fans (btw: Congratulations to Geelong !!!) and the Grand Final is always something special, not the least because of the entertainment. This year I was especially excited, because Robbie Williams was going to perform. And, what a show it was ! He absolutely rocked a hot pink outfit that kind of embedded in my retinas I guess, because I have been seeing hot...

  Somehow I was thinking : “Well, not a lot has been going on really….but then I remembered : the September clubs have all been finished, labeled, packed, and shipped; new blends have been prepared and dyed; new yarns dyed; new  exciting blends planned and prepped and custom spinning has been done.

Good intentions and all of that eh? lol Last week turned out to be super rushed though, because I only gave...

Unlike this week!!! This week was awesome: For all of you who have followed me for a long time: I...

Another week has flown by and what a week it has been since we last chatted on this blog !!! I mean, I did hope that the launch of the new IxCHeL website would be a positive one, but not in my wildest imagination, did I believe it would be that mind blowing ! As soon as “high noon” on the Saturday came and I pressed the “GO LIVE” button, it was an avalanche of online shop visits and not just people having a browse but actually buying fluff and spindles and club memberships. I have no clue why I...
