Jason has a new love

My mum (Serena Martindale) gave Jason a bread machine for Christmas.... he loves it more than he loves me! We have already used it for 2 bread items in the last 24 hours!!!

Stay tuned... on Monday I get my loom and then I'll have an inanimate object to love!

My Store

Hey Looky... I have a store for my knitted and sewn stuff!
Rowan's Etsy Shop

So you thought you'd be knitting.....

Yesterday I lay one of my knitting projects out to take a photo of it before I felted it (washed it with the idea of shrinking it)... but Whitie had other ideas....

Ohhh look! Something for me to lie on!

This is nice!

Hey... you, cut it out with the flash!

 

This sucks, I'm outta here!

Not for Micah and Lizzie to look at!

Still making Christmas prezzies!
MICAH AND LIZZIE CAN'T LOOK!!!!

Sorrow

On Thanksgiving my beloved horse Luke died. Luke was almost 27 years old (certainly not young) and he had spent almost half of his life with me. When I got Luke, he had pulled both of his suspensory ligaments and as a result couldn't even walk without a hitch in his step. Slowly and surely we nursed him back to health and he spent the rest of his life on our lovely farm, frolicking about like a five year old. Luke is the first horse I have lost and it has torn an unfathomable chunk out of my heart. Luke died quietly in the back pasture, without any major medical issues which often plague horses his age.

I miss him fiercely! It is like losing a spouse or a sibling.

Luke friend Joker is still doing quite well even with the lost of his best friend

I am tired.

I do not want to work on the microscope.

I do not want to go to the gym.

I want to go home, curl up with a cup of tea, and knit while I watch the rain fall outside.

 

Why is it only Wednesday?

 

P.S. I'm making a sweater!
