You know you've got a good man when.........

........ you can convince him to climb a very precariously placed ladder to return to a nest some little fledgling birds that you found cold and abandoned in the back garden. And which you managed to rescue from the very brink of death with a hot water bottle and a bit of mashed up bread and milk, (especially when he's not that good with heights!).


Unfortunately due to the spontanious nature of this dramatic tree top rescue I didn't have time to grab the camera so here's some random photo's of some wool to keep you all happy :-)




Second attempt at the Thankyou sock (much better)

As we have had some fantastic weather I have been Plying and Dyeing in the garden

A Quickie

Here's just a quick photo update of the dyeing I did the other week.




It was a hit and miss affair, and I made rather a lot of mess........





But, it was fun, I shall ply these balls. The wool is pretty harsh, I won't be able to make anything wearable (maybe I could make some socks for someone whose wronged me, a silent protest!) but they will probably go into the Wall Hanging.



Now sadly I must do some housework. We've been away for the weekend and I swear someone/thing has come in and mussed up my home!!

I bet it was those pesky rabbits .

This final shot is one of the best things about my village, its very brief and when they fall I like to pretend I'm in a fairy land!
