All the fundraiser parcels and custom orders have been shipped out, the studio has been cleaned and organized, the dye pigments put away and organized; all is ready for a bit of a rest. It feels very very weird and I have to say I am still totally hyped up and in a frenzy.. this will probably fade away bit by bit and I will hopefully get around to sit still for a moment and breathe; take in the scenery, smell the roses and relax blissfully the next two weeks. I will let you know how that goes….lol Paul and I are not planning to go on a holiday but we will go away here and there , just day trips and have a breather. A change of scenery will do us good, although I must say the scenery here is pretty darn good ! We had a huge downpour yesterday and , no kidding, a rainbow appeared just close enough to touch , right there in our back yard almost. I told Paul to mark the end of the rainbow so we could start digging for that famous pot of gold …lol
So what have I been up to? Well, first of all I had my Covid hair all cut off and I am now pink… It felt sooooooo good to have my hair cut off ! Short hair feels awesome ! I am super happy with my “sticky uppy bits” which remind me of David Tennants Doctor Who…Now my hair too can tremble with emotion ….ROFL
Then I received, just in time, my reading material for the holidays: The latest Ransom Riggs book, this years Shetland wool week, Marie Wallins Shetland book and a Knitting fair isle book. I am sure you can see a wee pattern happening there. I am planning on doing lots of reading and a fair bit of knitting ...
