Mill Creek Run .....

The next in the series by Jan Mott of Crane Design is here! We're so excited that Jan used our wools to design this spring companion to "Seaside" and "Winter Sleigh Ride". Introducing "Mill Creek Run". We're taking orders for the pattern which should be here by the end of the week. Look on our website on the Crane Design page. We will start dyeing the kits tomorrow and will have an availability date and price withing a few days. So excited about this one!!

Wool dyeing? ..... I think not .....

No wool dyeing yesterday or today! I'd rather have snow than this icy/freezing rain/sleet stuff. Prayers that our power holds. We don't have a good track record for keeping the power on with this mess!

We did have about of inch of show this morning but that sneaky little ice pack is hidden underneath.  Think I will call a snow day again!

Back in the saddle .....

I usually take my birthday off (it was last week) to have a day with no phone, no Facebook, no "web-surfing" ..... just me and my Bernina humming along .... watching Criminal Minds marathons or PBS Masterpiece. But the weather on that day was PERFECT for dyeing wool. Soooo, since last Friday was cold and raining, I moved my birthday to Friday and spent part of the day hooking instead. 

This is a project that has been sitting in limbo for 13 (yes, THIRTEEN) years. It is also my first ever hooking project.  I plan on taking lessons (again) because there is ALWAYS something I can learn.

It's supposed to be cold and raining again this Friday.  A coincidence  ....... hmmmm.

Happy New Year .....!
