Dancing with Wool

i finally get a chance to blog it - i spent the last weekend (17-18) in sydney learning to spin art yarns with wooldancer - it was a such a delicious experiance i only wish it coul dhave lasted longer - many thanks to the other beuatiful women who i shared this weekend with including wooldancer, jungle, handspunmum and knittydoll.

there are big things on the horizon for me creativly as you will soon see, i feel like life needs to take a new direction, things are stale and stilted. i was once a bit of a self help book nut and one of my favorite authors was SARK and since the weekend i have had a revelation related to one of her statements - "do what you love and the money will follow" - i am so focussed on mortgage repayments, day care fees, bills. food and fuel that i feel like i am losing myself - why is the money so important? why can't we just be?

look what followed me home

isn't she lovely ????

Merry Christmas

Ho Ho Ho.

Merry Christmas to all.

We had an early morning here and all the pressies are open and breakfast is over - Lilli is watching a DVD and JD is having a sleep before we move on to Rae's house for lunch.

pictures tomorrow :)

sewing stuff

Whipped up this cute little outfit for Lilli to wear to JD's christening on Sunday she is in love with it, and wanted to wear it to nanny's today, i toldher we needed to save it for sunday and she said that was ok coz then she could show both the nanny's at the same time :)

and some dyeing

last night and this morning were spent dyeing some yarn and roving - i am hoping to open an online store in the new year so i am building up stocks - i have 2 weeks off at christmas so i am guessing it will be spent dyeing as well between other things - the problem is i dye it and fall in love with it and don't want to sell it - tell me it get's easier to part with your dye babies?

Wooly Love...

....it appears that it runs in the family, Miss Lilli giving my freshly dyed and dried tops a cuddle :)

it started with just patting and quickly progressed to cuddling - that's my girl
