What cutie! It's so heart breaking when they go.

So sorry for your loss. 😓

He was probably so matted near the skin that the groomer had no option but to shave him.

Tonight's brain music was True Blue, by Madonna and my brain's sleep song go to You're So Vain by Carly Simon.

Last night's sleep tune in my head was Your love (keeps lifting me higher)- Jackie wilson

2/2 Which helps me fall back to sleep more easily. I'm going to start documenting the songs on here.
Tonight's was Billy Joel's It's All Rock And Roll To Me

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

He also raises money for street vet charityto help homeless people look after their pets. He's a hero, like you!

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social Eddie says your dogs are slacking, what about the post walk nap, pre lunch nap, post lunch nap, late afternoon nap and the pre and post dinner naps? They need to try harder! 😆

Three skeins of handspun yarn, one with pinks, blues, greens and other colours through it, one with blues, greens and yellows, one natural creamy white. All with my cardboard sleeves on with my logo, a spinnung wheel and my name , The Twist Tamer, and handspun yarns underneath.

Three lovely skeins ready for the shop. Hand dyed by the Fibre Faery, handspun by me. The first is a blend of merino, linen and silk, the middle one is Strichen Link, and the natural one is corriedale.

An old rotting wooden row boat showing the detail of the rotton wood

The same boat falling apart

The same boat but repaired and mended and looking beautiful! Painted cream on the bottom and She shiney mahogany on top

Same boat different angle showing the rope fender that goes round it.

From this... to this!
My beautiful friend renovated this 1950's dingy and gifted it to me! Even named her after my childhood pony Zoe. 💕#boats #dingy #rowing

If you see this post, quote with a bridge from your gallery.

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.

Full moon on he river. #Boatlife #moon

I haven't yet, but I'm going to give it a go this summer, it's very smelly from what I gather so I'll have to hide it away from neighbours!

The other horse whispers to her "um..you've got.. er...you've got something on your back".

Finally got round to some spinning this week, with this beautiful hand dyed merino/silk/linen blend from The Fibre Fairy on Folksy.

I spin in the grease for rugs, but for normal yarn I scour it first. But sheepies can be dirty little devils and it takes a few goes just to get the dust, mud, and poop out before tackling the grease! I tend to buy fleece from local small holders and most don't use the chalk markers.

I wish more people would wash their sheep before sheering, it would make my job a whole lot easier

Lol! *anteater *tapir! (Autocorrect. 😜)

Not an and eager, that's a rapid. The babies are speckled to camouflage them in the forests where they live.

One of my favourite pastimes, yours looks beautiful!

Not my photo (phil gate's) but it is just up the road from me, one of the most iconic fingerpost signs.

A stout middle aged woman with cropped purple hair and wearing a black and white stripped polo neck, shows off her new spectacles which have thick black squarish frames with white details on the side.

Hoping my funky new bins say "i know the secrets of the fleece and have post apocalyptic life skills". (Rare photo of myself).

#DHmakes textile as metaphor

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.

I'm obsessed with making these pocket buddies from a pattern by French Lavender Home!

A pair of raspberry knitted fingerless gloves or wrist warmers, knitted with a royalist stitch and cable pattern sit on a beautiful antique Welsh blanket that is turquoisecity black, cream and brown designs on it.

Just finished knittimg these wrist warmers in recycled yarn, cosy!
