progress

worsley and i are gearing up for our first slow design meeting...
i am officially pumped. {and officially a dork for just using the word: pumped}
remember yesterday's picture?
well here she is...felted and looking mighty fine...and mighty teeny.
and keeping in the mind of slow design...i have to add how much i adore the wool from our local sheep. when i knit with this yarn my dry hands are treated with a lovely lanolin rub. it's dee-vine.

frost

well...
it's cold again. which means going out-shide is a windy and eye-watering event.
the heat is back on and the familiar sound of the old furnace kicking in is surprisingly comforting. my hands are back in wool and needles...also very comforting.
don't get me wrong...i'm ready for warm days...but right now, i'm going to cozy up and read my book.
xo albert.

are you there blog? it's me albert.

"where have you been albert?" says you.

the truth is, i'm not sure.
busy eating ice cream with a two-year old...
busy digging worms with said two-year old...
and spending nearly every waking hour outside.
(or as hugh says "out-shide"...he sounds just like liza minnelli. i love it!)

the past month has been filled with such great happenings...
one in particular...is worsley and i are launching a slowdesign
group in our wee river town. more to come on that...
and another great happening is...tinK.vintage has finished
it's spring...ahem, i mean summer collection! the website
should be updated by the end of the week...right, dear?
lastly, i'm reading a very good book.
justine you will love this book too...and thanks for your
pep talk... it feels good to be back.

too long

It's been far too long in many ways. Long winter (looks like it's letting up, yay!), and a very long bout of cold/flu and a very long time in between posts! Now that we have had a taste of the warmer weather I feel along with my energy returning that I am capable of anything.......regular blog posts, completing my spring pieces and opening an online store, cooking regularly (it's degenerated into too much take away and frozen meals around here), taking in some much needed exercise, and completing the biggest cleaning session ever! I don't ever remember being this happy to see spring!

our old friend...the park

ahh...at last, sliding weather.

puddle jumpers

i once saw a beautiful colour of yarn called "puddle". puddle may not seem the obvious choice to describe a lovely colour...but after this monumental winter i have to say...there is nothing more beautiful...more lovely than seeing a puddle...
be gone snow...be gone ice...
welcome puddle jumpers.
