Whimsical Woollies

1. The Magician tarot card pictured with the stack of tarot. It is a colorful deck.

Oh so we're doing this 😅

Dirty sheep's wool spread out on a blanket

Skirting isn't my favorite job. I'm slow and don't really know what I'm doing. But I have dreams for this fiber. And what are we here for, if not to do the hard work our dreams require of us?

Wishing you signs of spring soon!

Definitely my favorite part of February!

Black and white text saying "At its best, you can turn fantasy, and in particular fantasy for children, for thw essence of things. Ursula Le Guin takes her guiding line from Tolkien, who, she said, never sought to deny that fantasy is escapist; that is its power and glory. 'If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we're artisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us that we can'".

Knocked it outta the park!

I'm feeling fired up. I'm putting $20 here anyone else in?

Hang in there. Overwhelming us is their strategy. They want us paralyzed. Think of it like car sickness. Don't look at the trees flying by, dont focus on the sharp turns.

Look at the horizon and focus on the things you can control, no matter how small. Your breath. Your kindness. Your superpower.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

About two dozen chocolate chip cookies. Cookies have orange, yellow and brown reeces pieces on top of cookies.

How we're doing joy in this house today 🍪

Yes absolutely. I learned spinning when covid hit which has saved me multiple times since then. So glad to have it now.

Yes I definitely should specify people like me...which is a very privileged white woman. We need to vote with our dollar. We've been costing for way too long.

If anyone else is looking for other ideas: Cut amazon. Cut streaming services. Buy physical media used. Cds and dvds are so cheap. Use libby. Use kanopy. Museum passes from your library. Take local art classes. There is so much we can do.

But it just motivates me to find local farmers and cook from scratch. It's time for people like me to buckle up and sacrifice. Which we never really have done before.

Thanks for that I'll look if one is close. Sad to see Aldi drop theirs too. With three kids that eat a ton, it was a nice option to have.

Just closed my target credit card after having it since 2016. Super easy and let them know it was due to slashing their DEI initiatives. Feels great highly recommend. #target #dei #shopsmall

Yess Louet is my plying wheel too. It's a reliable beast every time. My other favorite is a kromski polonaise. I also have a spinolution art yarn wheel that is okay. I typically spin worsted to bulky. I'll have to try Lendrum sometime.

So much fleece. Ours are huge like mini horses! We only keep a few because they eat so much 😆 what kind of spinning wheel do you use?

Thank you for sharing some of your process! I have A LOT of fleece to process and feel so slow at skirting. Hope I get a little faster with practice.
