Happy Solstice, babies!

The days just get longer from here on.... And I'm taking a few days off - lots of new work and maybe news and happenings that I don't even know about yet in Lucky Year 13. See you then!

Pretty pretty giclee by Rebecca Roehr (and more) here.

In the knittery....

There is something so satisfying about this. I can't stop. (danger.)

New in the shop.

There's a new apron in the shop! Super-soft, made of an old tablecloth, and not overly girlish. Maybe your boyfriend will even wear it and wouldn't that be nice?

Around here....

Fresh eggs, belt promotion, frost, and Robber Monopoly - a game designed by my younger son. It's exactly what it sounds like and not nearly as Robin-Hood-esque as I would like.

New in the shop.

There's a new Hostess Apron in the shop. And I will tell you that this one is all for show. It's really gauzy and delicate and gives a lovely illusion of homeyness, even when it's clear that the brioche was not made in situ.

Around here....

Something good is going to happen today.

In the knittery.

I knit this smashingly cool hat for Seamus. He hates it. Also, he did not want his picture taken this morning.

New work.

I'm not saying I've got my groove all the way back. But, I am working again. And more than a bit joyous about it.

Treasury Tuesday.

A little coconut goes a long way this time of year.

Around here....

Around here, the hens are wet. Honestly, they don't seem so upset about it. I thought I was ON IT blog-wise last week and then, not so much. This week the to-do list is about a year long BUT I have high hopes and the forecast calls for reasonably dry hens going forward - so we'll see how that works out.
