Some of us didn’t even want to get up this morning, let alone go outside…..
…. as it was a dull and rainy start. But I put on my wet-weather gear and went out with the breakfast buckets.
Afterwards I let the wet and soggy horses and ponies out of their field to eat the grass around the house. Bibble just followed me round looking hopeful.
I decided to make my statutory hand-felted sheep this morning and was met by Fivla who I could tell had designs on my little shed where I work.
She reckoned it was just the right size for a small Shetland pony trying to shelter from the rain (and I probably wouldn’t have minded if she had come in as she is very well-behaved and has been in the house before – tell no one!)
Bibble lurked by, of course.
Once finished making sheep, I returned to the house only to find that Monster might have moved downstairs but he certainly hadn’t woken up.
And, being Shetland, the weather changes very quickly and the afternoon turned much brighter. I drove to West Burrafirth with a friend and her dog (on lead) and we went for a walk.
The views were stupendous. I hadn’t been here before. Definitely somewhere to remember.
So that was my day, and how was yours?

Similar weather here in Yorkshire.
As you make sheep, I am cranking out Christmas ornaments for our two girls because both girls have cats (probably, I do not need to explain but suffice it to say that what has not been broken or chewed on has seen better Christmases). This year, I shocked myself by actually starting the project on time-Dec 26th! So this year’s ornaments are all counted cross stitch. Next year’s ornaments will use various embroidery stitches. So as you felt & sculpt those precious sheep, I stab thread, cloth, & fingers making little x’ed ornaments.
The one thing Florida & the Shetlands have in common is vary changeable weather. Mornings have been pleasantly cool & less humid than even two weeks ago, but the afternoons are a different story. We’ll be starting our daily thunderstorms soon which usually, blow in & out fairly quickly. Daughter #2 moved to Colorado which has similar fast changes in weather.
we can stab away together and clever you.
I see your creepy neighbour is still creeping around. He is so funny…..
