Finished sorting the first box of textiles made by my grandmother. Decided to do an ‘Ode to the Doily’ . She spent countless hours on these I’ m sure, so I don’t want them to languish in the darkness any longer. First up - this lovey blue and cream pattern

Sorting through a bin of my grandmothers needlework from our camp in the Adirondack’s. She was born 1906. Not sure when she did this piece. Any body have a guess if Crochet or tatting ?

Gertrude is marked safe from this morning’s storms. The dye garden fence is toast. And my favorite tree lost another major limb and will need to come down. :(

Maise before sheering her beautiful coat of wool. She's frolicking around Ewerka Farm (Monkton, MD) with only her knickers. She kinda matches Jasper. LOL #sustainablewool #slowfiber #bluethistlefibers #toocute #purtysheep #fibershed
