The Occasional Purl

And so - we’ve all had dinner. All going well so far. The Boss is upstairs getting the infant ready for bed, I’m running a bath for tonight is dog-bathing night. Always fun…The ex is round and nobly offers to go shut the poultry away as The Boss still has the dishes to do, and I still have the ironing to do before coming back to the compter to sort photos for the 2 etsy shops so that I can start work again in the morning. Some time later he ambles back..”There’s a problem”
“What’s that then?” say me - only half listening as I’m trying to extract an unwilling dog from her basket

“You know that duck - the one that went missing?”
“Yup” says me - assuming he’s found a pile of feathers
“She’s come back”
“So where’s the problem?”
“She’s got 10 ducklings with her”
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

And so we spent twilight wrestling the small henhouse the length of the paddock, then trying to persuade an irritated duck and 10 VERY lively littles to go to bed and not be eaten by the fox. The dog, excited her by her reprieve, gambols around arrrrrooooooing loudly while The Boss wonders where I’ve vanished to and saves the kitchen ceiling from sudden floods!

So now I have 1 partner, 1 ex, 1 baby, 1 dog, 1 labour intensive smallholding, 1 house falling down around my ears as a consequence of renovations, cowboy builders and floods, 3 fish, 3 shrimp, 9 hens, 1 lonely gander, 3 drakes, 3 ducks, 10 ducklings and 2 businesses to look after.

Can somebody please clone me?

from today!

So - last few days been hard at work on the room that is going to become my lovely new workroom. This morning’s job was to strip wallpaper. You’d think it would be easy, wouldn’t you?

Plug in steamer

Steamer trips fuses

Unplug steamer + reset fuse box

Glare at steamer and plug it in again

(discover that glaring at electrical equipment does indeed cure faults in circuits)

Start stripping wallpaper

Have plaster fall off wall

(Decide this doesn’t matter as we need a plasterer anyway and he can fix it)

Run upstairs to answer phone

Realise there is now a trail of scritty bits of paper and plaster through half the house

Fetch vacuum cleaner

Try to remove dog to another room before switching on vacuum cleaner

Dog runs through doorway into pile of scritty bits of wallpaper and plaster dust

Dog runs under table, wearing nasty papier mache bootees

Dog tries to eat nasty blend of soggy wallpaper and plaster to get them off her paws

Haul dog out and clean her paws for her. Banish dog to garden

Realise dog-chasing has now spread trail of destruction though every room in house

Realise dog had the best idea and go to hide under the table

A few months ago I was waiting for the day when you became more responsive, more active, more fun. Not that I didn’t love you when you were little, but sleeping 23 hours a day leaves little time for playing. Now that you are more responsive, more active, may I offer a few pointers?

1. That bbbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvvvtttttttttttttt noise you make when you are happy is one of the loveliest noises I’ve ever heard. I’m also delighted that your mashed spinach and peas make you happy. Do please finish the mouthful of veg before expressing your delight…

2. Your kisses are delightful. Granted you tend to latch on like a sucker fish and lick my face vigorously but technique will come in time. Do please, though, let me wipe your face clean first. One of us looking like an accident in a mushy pea factory is bad enough…

3. Yup - you have teeth. No need to prove it! I’m sure it’s fun testing them out, but stripping the flesh from my bones faster than a shoal of piranhas doesn’t help.

4. I’m glad you’ve finally decided to learn how to roll over. Try to refrain from practicing this when I’m trying to dress you.

5. The expression on your face when you realised you could play with your own toes was priceless. Please let go when I’m trying to get your nappy on…

 6. I’m really pleased you’ve learnt not to pinch me or pull my hair. Same goes for the rest of the family and friends too. Your dad does not want pierced ears and though I realise Dean’s beard is tempting, it is also out of bounds. He’s quite attached to it…

7. Please don’t lie there reading the toy book Sarah gave you, top to bottom, left to right. I think you are just copying what you’ve seen us do with books, but it is still unnerving…

8. Your high-pitched squeals of excitement make me laugh. I realise that memory takes time to develop and the rediscovery of a toy is cause for great jubilation. After 6am, please…

9. Wriggling is fun. Wriggling on your back does have the problem of not being able to see where you are going. If you get yourself wedged into the cot and can go neither forwards, backwards or sideways, I will come and rescue you when you bellow for help. But don’t expect me not to laugh. Looking offended will make me laugh more…

10. Don’t change

Fresh Faces-8 CD-2

Sorry. Though it has to be said that just about every pun you can think of based around dyeing/dying has been made round here over the last few days.

A lengthy process. not so much in the preparation or in the dyeing itself, but drying them out seems to be taking forever. And so I have only 3 to show off so far. More in progress - Comfrey is hanging from a hook in the kitchen, as is Onion. Rhubarb, Cutch, Chamomile are awaiting a trip through the washing machine before a final drying, skeining and labelling. All will, eventually, end up on Etsy.

So far I have

Greenweed

Madder

Buckthorn

Colours aren’t 100% accurate here - the moment I get some sun to dry the others, I’ll have some light to retake. But for a first time, with less-than-perfect dyestuffs ( bit old. Just realised how old!) I’m really very satisfied.

A while back a friend gifted me 5 large boxes of fabric samples - the sort of thing you find in fabric shops - that she had rescued before they were dumped. Well, I’ve spent the last couple of days cutting, tearing and unscrewing these fabrics from their hangers and there is some fabulous stuff in there. So why frustrated? Because once again I have umpteen ideas on what I want to do with it all and no time (or space) to do it!

The fabrics I tried to clear through eBay are still here. A couple of things sold, some other pieces I gave away to another friend who does patchwork and now, having decided to get rid of them my mind has thrown up ideas on what I could be making from them. It has, of course, come up with 2 entirely different and mutually exclusive ideas.

Just as spring is springing and just as the outside needs all my attention and efforts, all my ideas are focussed around indoor work.

Typical!

Remember this?

It never did become a bathmat (nor yet a neckwarmer for a giraffe), as Lia suggested I should hang it up as a ‘thing’. So, for the past 12 months or more it has been hanging up, in the corner as a thing.

Ambling around etsy the other day I came across fibre beads. Actually, I came across a shop full of pretty colours and like the colour-magpie I am, went off to hunt around.

The shop is here, E. Brown’s Fiber Beads. And they are brilliant! I browsed for ages, but she didn’t have exactly what I wanted, so I thought I’d ask. I mean - all she could say was ‘no’ wasn’t it?
Fortunately (for me) she said ‘yes’. And didn’t we have fun. Well - I did - I hope she did too. She is a great maker. Not only did she come up with precisely what I wanted but she even set up pics in Flickr for me to pick the designs I preferred. The control-freak in me couldn’t even manage a murmur of complaint!

And so she made me these…

This is her photo - I got so carried away when they turned up yesterday that I completely forgot to take a pic before I started. Not for nothing am I blonde!

Course, while I was there I had to buy a few more too… Aren’t they cute?

So - the thing in the corner was brought down and now looks rather more like this

Close-up…

And closer…

But now it needs a name. I really can’t keep on calling it ‘thing’…

Some years ago, my mate Jim and I agreed that we would both do one thing each day to take us one step closer to our dreams. For some reason, that lapsed (as did contact - Jim? Are you out there? Jim? JIM??? ) but I remembered that conversation the other day and decided maybe I’d better resurrect the plan.

So a new years resolution (well, newish financial year - does that count?); one step a day

It has been moving on quietly. Regular website visitors will have seen various pages vanishing. Nope, not shutting up shop, but the website is getting cranky and unreliable. It desn’t so much need repairing as taking down to ground level and rebuilding from the foundations up. In the meantime, goodies are moving to the Etsy shop to keep them online and available while we rethink how, where, when and what to do with the main site.

Then there is the other side of life: the smallholding. Things are progressing there too. The year-plan is to repair all last years flood damage and have it productive at a basic level this year. Next year we move on to the ambitious plans…So far we have a new hen-run, the long border has been dug over and planted with fruit trees and bushes. Later on we’ll put the gladioli, anemones and irises in there then move the red clover plants and violets in there too - more ground cover = less weeding!

Now the hens are confined we can move on with clearing and planting the veg beds - a somewhat futile task with a dozen feathery little ‘helpers’. The potting shed and greenhouse are full up with plants waiting for new homes and the house seems to be full of drifts of seed-packets.

And once the land is busy growing all these plans, I can get back to shifting that 60 tonnes of brick rubble…

There is wool (Colinette!) on eBay and buttons on etsy.

Do please buy - I can’t get into the workroom!

Yes, with a capital ‘O’. Sometime before Christmas, faced with a rising tide of chaos (some of which was due to the rising tide of water) I started to get a bit swamped and a little more disorganised than usual. Along came the lovely Nelli, about to start project manager training, who offered to ‘manage’ me

And so I gained an unpaid (though not unappreciated) PA. It’s great! She’s great! She rings yarn companies for me, loads things to etsy, searches out bits I need from ebay, contacts magazines and trawls through online yarn shops looking for wool. (I’m assured that this latter one is no hardship…).

On top of this she has made me a timetable. Start date, estimated date of completion and what I do with the thing once it is finished. This is an attempt to gain some control over my appparent fear of finishing. It must be that because last night The Boss asked what I was working on and I showed him the 5 unfinished objects. This morning I had a proper count-up. 8.

3 are for magazines, 2 for a yarn company, 1 for Etsy and 2 are test-knits to see if something that worked in my head works as well in reality.

Now, I flatly refuse to work on the ‘work’ over the weekends, but that doesn’t stop me knitting. I thought I’d start working on the cushion covers for The Boss, being as the yarn balls are very big and I am shorter of space than ever. Unfortunately (for Nelli) what was going to be a small weekend project has somehow morphed into a jacket. It is going to be a very pretty one…but somehow I don’t think the schedule keeper will be that pleased with me

James C Brett, Marble Chunky 100% acrylic. Yes, I know, but it knits up beautifully and doesn’t squeak on the needles!

Well, some time last year I did make plans to push things.

1) Lace. Done
2) Shaping things. Done
 Sadly, socks, dressmaking, crochet, weaving, spinning and dyeing all fell by the wayside, mainly due to our impressive floods.

I have made up a variety of new patterns, mopped up the house and made plans for the coming year.

However, The Boss and I produced this:

Not entirely sure if she counts as a Finished Object or a Work in Progress, but Megan is, without doubt, the best thing I’ve ever made!

Please note: if you’ve come here from the main site orders from stock will be despatched on the Saturday following your order. Works to commission are still possible, but under a slightly revised timescale!
