A case of mistaken fleece identity. While Tatty's fleece _has_ been washed, I'd forgotten that Viola's last fleece had been added to the box so what I'm currently combing is Vi's fleece (Cotswoldn x Lleyn). No wonder it looked so Cotswold-y

Onto the next phase of going from fleece to woven shawl: combing. There's a lot of wastage that comes from combing fleece but the combing waste will be used for other projects.

The joy of letter writing to those I love and cherish never grows old. I get the joy of using nice stationery, fountain pen and wax seals, writing on my antique writing slant box while arranging my thoughts to share with people I care out. I hope to always find joy in the writing of letters

Sootica was wondering where her human minion disappeared to for the day. At least normality has now been restored

A gorgeous afternoon out at the Painswick Rococo Gardens with gorgeous and magical friends @theowildcroft.bsky.social and @wendahazel.bsky.social. So many snowdrops heralding the first stirrings of Spring.

I will actually post something that's not just #Inkvent2024 at some point but for now here's today's ink: Noble Fir is a green shimmer with gold overtones

Day 2 of #Inkvent2024: a lovely dusky pink called Wilted Rose (and a reminder I need to get new nibs for my dip pen after a splodge incident 🙄)

#Inkvent2024 Day One: a lovely shimmery blue by the name of 'Baltic Breeze'

It's a bit soggy out there today! Hay given to the sheep, everyone checked, kit checked to make sure it's secured. Now back home to the dry and warm

I'm sure my little car is a TARDIS. Mine can fit two bales of hay in the back (and, if I really need it, one in the passenger seat) which is super useful when making sure the ovine overlords have the extra food they need. All done before Storm Bert went to full force in my neck of the woods. #sheep

After years of talking myself out of buying one of these, I finally decided to treat myself to a Diamine Inkvent Calendar.
