Today, I carded my portion of Gwen, a Corriedale (with a little bit of merino) fleece from @shepherdessofbs.bsky.social, which @pacific-coaster.bsky.social shared with me last year. I can’t wait to spin it!

I finished testing the Carthen shawl for @foxandfolk.bsky.social out of my handspun Corriedale from @shepherdessofbs.bsky.social (the MC is “the Big Lady” that I processed from raw and the CC was dark brown roving). It is one of my favorite things I’ve ever made.

Crepes and homemade strawberry jam for breakfast today. 🍓

So today I finished these Akara Rose Falkland singles that remind me of the coast, baked a pumpkin pie, and spent way too long searching for my missing AirPods case, which I only seem to lose on days I haven’t even left the house. 🙄 This time: apron pocket.

I made orange caramel rolls from a book I like and my kids, who are supposed to be sleeping, are still awake, so I told them to come downstairs and eat one with me. Breakfast is too far away and they are so good fresh out of the oven.

Unperturbed. 🤷🏻‍♀️ @royalbb.bsky.social @allenrberry.bsky.social

I’ve been trying to practice support spindling with my new-to-me @spanishpeacock.bsky.social and Enid Ashcroft spindles but this spot in my lap belongs to my cat, who refuses to move, so I’ve been balancing my spindle bowl on her butt. She’s surprisingly indifferent.

I am attempting to ward off my existential dread by testing a few patterns for @foxandfolk.bsky.social using mostly my own handspun from @shepherdessofbs.bsky.social’s flock. It’s helping.
