... I shall be mostly knee deep in soft, squishy lanolin filled gorgeous wool freshly shorn and picked up from a farm this morning. Just don't ask how many bags! Although if you are looking for any wool, I shall have some spare here - just ask or wait awhile and I shall be offering to send it on. I definitely have more Black Welsh Mountain than I need or can use so if you'd like any, give me a shout.
Today ...
... I am also celebrating that we have finally, in the second round of applications, been successful at gaining some tickets to the Olympics next year in London - yeah! We won't know for sure which of the events we have tickets for, but will within the next couple of weeks.
Today ...
... I am loving that Imogen has asked me to put the Elbow album on as she thinks its great. I agree.
Today ...
... is a good day, the sun is shining, everyone is happy.
Hey have you seen the spinn along on Ravelry, it's in conjunction with the Tour De France. I picked up Inside Crochet the other day and it was featured in there.
ReplyDeleteYes I have Joxy, they call it the Tour de Fleece lol! I saw some posts about it last year, seems a lot of work as you spin every day of the Tour de France, not sure I could commit to it. There are lots of different groups who have teams ... maybe one year I'l join in but not this year. Dawn x
ReplyDeleteI daren't ask how many bags of fleece, is it more than last year?!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good day all round. I'm desperate to get started on the alpaca, but have promised myself to get a few other projects finished first, nothing like an incentive!
Sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day! My plan was for that too but still feeling a bit icky so will see what tomorrow brings. I still have three whole Jacobs to sort out plus a friend is shipping me some from the US!! Definintely need to get "in the zone"!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your lovely woolly day.
xx
If you would like to send some of your spare to Cornwall let me know :) I've spent the weekend washing fleece and am now wishing I had a drum carder!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Liz, I'll get in touch about what I have and see what you fancy. Just need to sort and skirt the rest tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteClaire - hmmm, maybe a little bit less ;-)
Ooh Becks, what are you getting from the US?
