Trampled by Geese is a reminder to myself to look at the positive side of life and to endeavour to only write about things that inspire me rather than focus on what is negative in the world. Kirkegaard once wrote, “Being trampled by geese is a slow way of dying, but being eaten to death by envy and greed is even slower and more painful”.

A mountain of yarn
I had the great fortune to spin a soft mountain of yarn for a wonderful person. Soft with subtle hints of grey and brown, I can't take a photo that does this justice.
Hate to admit this, but I actually finished spinning it a few days before I contacted the customer who commissioned it - my excuse is that I wanted to get the lighting just right so I could take photos for my blog, but in reality I simply enjoyed admiring it too much to let it go right away.
3 fleeces washed, carded, blended, spun, plyed, blocked, and counted for a total of 2530 yards in about 6 weeks. Not a personal record for speed, but I took the time to make certain every step was done right.
