i haven't posted for a while ... life has gotten in the way.
this pretty little sweet pea self-sowed from the pea straw i put down as mulch.
the vegetable garden now entirely consists of things that have self-sown.
the house hasn't sold, so i haven't had to move, but it's pending, so the garden has to fend for itself.
i'm really looking forward to living somewhere where it's worth my while to have a vegetable garden again...
i like growing (and eating) my own vegetables.
all i want to do is nap and knit.
is this the preliminary stages of hibernation?
i can feel the pending winter in the air.
i hope my energy levels boost again some time soon
so many projects, in progress and in queue.
can't write... too busy making, and planning.
i hope the things in my head will look as beautiful once they are made.
teal is such a pretty colour.
i want to learn how to reply yarn on a spinning wheel.
i wish i wasn't the only knitter i knew.
why does fable love to sleep on mohair?
and how did she get to be so adorable?
why is the hardest (or most tedious) part of the project always the last part?
why does salmon soup make my body go zing?
felted slippers
felted camera case
felted mp3 player case
pomatomus socks
stockings
something yummy with my salvaged cotton
why does my 'to knit list' seem to get longer and longer
far quicker than my 'have knit list'?
why hasn't my silk lining arrived in the mail?
why am i procrastinating hand sewing the vintage dress?
i love autumn, even though i can feel the pending cold in my bones.
autumn sunlight makes everything sparkle and brings about the sensation of being between time.
how much yarn is too much?
how many unfinished works are to many?
there is madness to my method.
it works though ... truly it does.
it's almost a full moon...
madness is in the air
why does coffee taste so good?
and chocolate too?
oh for a spinning wheel,
and to know how to spin.
it would be glorious.
finding the opportunity in adversity.
i've found the adversity.
now i just need to find the opportunity.
the grass isn't greener on the other side,
it's just a trick of the light.
how long is a piece of yarn?
exactly twice the distance between the centre point and the end.
thankfully, the cool change has come... fable has spent most of the evening curled up on the couch on her mohair blanket (or my mohair shawl, depending on who you ask), whilst salem has spent most of the evening out in the cool.
gardening has come to a halt.
my landlord is selling my house.
i hope i can harvest the pumpkins before i move.
i guess it's an opportunity to focus more energy on my knitting and sewing pursuits.
i saw a shooting star last night.
it left me momentarily without words.
salem is a beautiful cat.
he's the boyfriend of 'she who is second only to god'.
he is seven and his fur feels like velvet.
three poppies have flowered.
and a white waterlily.
the fish are fat and happy.
water poppies are cool.
like waterlilies they close at night and open for the day.
waterlily has bloomed.
it opens during the day.
and closes at night.
the fish are happy.
test (and improve) your vocabulary.
and donate rice to the hungry in the process.

why are my cats so beautiful?
when do fish become pets?
why do i love jo sharp yarn so much?
nasturtiums and lemongrass.
i wish it would rain.
i want to live more sustainably.
why do I knit with such small needles?
it seems like such a good idea at the beginning.
I like the effect...
it just makes everything take forever.
