What a super hectic week it has been here! Blending, dyeing, a new sock yarn arrival ready to be dyed later, all the October clubs shipped out  and new Halloween fun organised ready to put on show on the shop, plus a short stint at the hospital for me to get my bionic heart sorted out..call it my yearly maintenance to keep my motor beating. All went well, apart from the fact that I seem to be an expert in hurting myself doing normal stuff, like getting up from a low chair and somehow pulled a muscle. Yes, I’m a...

  Happy Friday October 13th! It doesn’t happen that often, well, actually, it happens every eleven years that a Friday the 13th falls in October.  There are all these superstitions attached to a Friday the 13th…black cats bringing bad luck (or…white cats when you are in Mexico…), don’t walk under ladders, etc etc. Some people are so afraid of this day they don’t go out or want to do anything…There is actually a name for this phobia: Paraskevidekatriaphobia: Fear of Friday the 13th.

Not even managed to ball up my geogradient set (I chose the Witchcraft geogradient 😉 see below) to start the 14th Westknits MKAL Geogradient knit along !  I do not want to get to a point where I say to myself on both counts : “oh well, too late...

  Spring has finally sprung here in the Yarra Valley: the bulbs are jumping out of the earth showing off their blooms, the lilac is blooming and all the flowers are coming out , flaunting their wares. As usual I have been inspired by all of this and more to dye a blend I have just made : Rapunzel. A super soft top with some added gold bling fit to feature in a fairytale ♥️ I have added new colourways and I hope you like them: ranging from pumpkin sparkle to tulip mania and electric dreams.  Here are some inspirational photos...

Another week has flown by and it now has come to a point that there are so many things that have to be done and no matter how much I do, there’s always more. So much fluff, so little time ! Instead of doing what I used to do, which was, stress myself out and stay up late, I reassure myself that there will always be more to do and I can only do so much and I go to bed at a reasonable time....which may still turn out to be 3am..because I just needed to finish spinning and fill...
