Yesterday I needed to get away from the studio. There are so many UFO’s in that room that I feel like there is an actual alien invasion of fibre. Who ever thought I would run away from my own yarn?

All I wanted was the serenity of one yarn, one project, all in white and no distraction. This caused me to head out at the ungodly hour of 6am to Starbucks for my usual fake beverage. Since I have given up caffeine, I have been very careful about that part of the beverage ordering. Also, since the detox, very careful instructions on non fat, no sugar, etc and yet, most of my beverages have been wrong in at least one area. I consider a correct fulfilling of my order a delightful surprise.

The single project and the latte

The sleeve on the latte

Yep, somehow I managed to get a skinny vanilla latte. I sat down in the big chair, pulled out the crocheting and thought ” I will have a peaceful morning and I will accept this latte” (regardless of its possible consequences down the road). It was the most serene hour I have had in weeks, even with the morning bustle of people behind me trying to get their “on the way to work” fix.

Once back home the entire felting day left me pleased with the results and inspired to stay up a bit later to see what else I could complete.

Here’s a little gallery of shots for you. Please contact me if you see anything in the felts that you like. They will be one of a kinds for the show and I can put one aside!

I’m supposed to be working on children’s sweaters today. I’m not sure that’s going to happen with the amount of UFO’s still currently choking up the studio.
