Spinners, weaver, knitter, crocheter, basically anything yarn based.
In the meantime I'm butler, cook and housekeeper to a cat and dog. I live on a barge and feed the ducks.

I sleep really well, but my brain does something weird. If I wake up at during the night, to turn over or use the bathroom, my brain plays a song, different one each night, occasionally two different ones. It's like it plays the song to stop me from starting to think about stuff, 1/2

Full moon on he river. #Boatlife #moon
A view of a river at night, it's waters are dark and swirling with the tide, the bank is high with reeds. The bright full moon shines down creating a moon path across the water. Clouds are lit brightly by the moon.

I'm obsessed with making these pocket buddies from a pattern by French Lavender Home!
Two knitted dolls, one a fox wearing a blue cable sweater the other a brown bear with a mustard coloured cable sweater with a roll neck. They are made so they look like they have their hands (paws?) In their pockets.

Chilly start on the river.
#RiverStour #Boatlife #RiverStour #frosty
A boat porthole shows a scene of a still river in front with the bank of grasses and reeds iced with frost. The river reflects the sky, a light blue with white and grey clouds striped across it.

Three flying fish for Christmas!
A cream coloured wall with wooden surround. Three gold coloured fish sculptures climb up it. They have tailed that curl in waves and fins that stick out to help them fly. They decrease in size large, medium and small and echo the flying duck wall plaques of the 19th century.
