It's about ewe and me!


Hello! Are you there? Oh good I was worried I wouldn't have anyone to talk to.  Well, I mean someone other than my husband. Love him dearly but damn it would be nice to have someone else to vent to. Talk crafts, exchange knitting patterns, show the excitement of newly purchased yarn, (oh no! Can't do that! ) or share recipes,  you I now what I mean right? He pretends that he's quite interested but hum not so much!
I think this says it all.....this was posted on fb and had to share it here!

So speaking  of "Ewe", I've completed another hat. This one is for my youngest grand. She's a first grader and a bit of a spitfire to say the least. "No pink" she says "cause I'm not a girly girl"! Wow! So I came across this color and thought it perfect.
yes it really is bright lime green with a black pompom on top. Sure hope she likes it. Now on to my next one. This is a commissioned had....and should be done soon.
 A Plymouth Yarn "Homestead" i purchased at my LYS~The Yarn Sellar, York Maine. 100% wool. I  found it with the help of an employee and friend  Mizz T.

As a friend she is very generous in sharing her vast knowledge of anything textile..she posted a picture on fb of this wonderful fleece  purchased from Nash Island Yarns. Yarn from an Island off the coast of Maine. What an interesting read with rich history. Sheep are the only inhabitants on this island Nash-island-sheep-sheering I sure hope that I've added this link correctly because I know you'll enjoy it. The picture is of the fleece that she is spinning.  That's right she's a "spinner" as well as a "hooker". Spinning fleece is one thing I've not attempted though I would like to try....on a drop-spindle not a spinning wheele! Hell I have enough hobbies and equipment as it is!
 What a wonderful weekend...so nice to do a social distance with friends on the beach.
The weather was perfect and enjoyed a beautiful sunset.
Couldn't want for a better November so far.
Now let me ask you....was it really warm enough to go paddleboarding? No I think not!
But here you have it.....the view in my back yard
Only for the young!
I received a wonderful little momento from my favorite neighbor. She's just so thouhhtful!
 We didn't get any snow here but that's a view of things to come.
So I guess I had a lot to say...you can wake up now!! Thanks so much for being here i am so appreciative. 
A Bientot!

  1. I love the green hat, she’ll love it. And what a beautiful weekend...perfect on the beach I’m sure just like being on the water. Not sure I’d be brave enough to be paddle boarding. I’ll stick to being in my boat. Hugs for Ewe and know you are never alone. 🥰

  2. you're welcome for the snowman hahaha. I love the color of that hat, I bet she will love it and look adorable in it. I agree this weekend was so beautiful. As bad as this year has been, weekends like that here in Wells helps to remind us of how lucky and blessed we really are..you especially with that gorgeous view! <3

  3. This year the silence can be deafening. Being an introvert of the first order, the quarantine hasn’t been as hard on me as others. Let me assure you, you aren’t alone, even when it seems so. There are many out there in the silence, listening.

    Spinning! Yes, do try it! It took me a while to get to be at all able on the spindle, and I love my wheel, but a spindle is so portable and calming. Mostly. So do try, and don’t let broken threads dissuade you either. It’s just part of spinning.

    1. Kim thanks for the encouragement....I will give the drop spindle a try...I do have a bag of roving so all I need is a spindle. I'll let you know how I make out. Thanks so much for being here with me....now I'm headed over to your blog. Donna

    Love the comment of your youngest grand :)
