skeins aplenty

i can't even say that today started off strong... it didn't. it was one of those wake up from a perfect dream too early and spend the rest of the day wishing to return to that same dream... only to actually spend the day lecturing on kindness and sibling love. so after lunch, when the sibling rivalry was at an all time high, i sent them to their room. together. and told them not to come down until they were ready to be nice to each other, and me.

between the time they stomped to their room, and when they came down {sweet as pie i might add...} i wound yarn. i got ready for the next few projects and dreamed as my swift spun, winding skeins into balls. loveliness.

the day ended on a much better note than it started.

  1. Those yarn colors are simply stunning...I checked out chickadee's website and loved all the yarn there and then the patterns. I really do need to learn to knit because then I could shop for those colors to make something...I need to get off my duff and not be afraid (to fail!).

    That is exactly what I would have done with my children...let them work it out and not make it with me in the middle. Wise mother you are!

  2. I really love this new space, sister. It's peaceful, and calming, and simple. I really, really love it.

    That is all :)

    Love,
    Lisa

  3. Yummy yarns! I'm dying to try some Madeline Tosh yarn. I've heard so much good stuff about it.
