Splitting wood. This one is non convinced πŸ˜‘ Even my phone recognised it as a face.

A new hat! My sheep's wool dyed with cochineal. Natural dyes are amazing! pecorelle.etsy.com/listing/1878...

Yarn ball pins, made of my sheep's wool pecorelle.etsy.com/listing/1402...

What's up? Do you have biscuits or a piece of dried bread in your pocket? πŸ‘ Many thanks to Sally for the monthly cup of ko-fi!

It was a birthday with no cake (for various personal reasons), but I still got my candles πŸ˜†πŸ•―οΈ Yesterday evening

Curious sheep licked the crutch, but didn't like it. At least they are not afraid of me any more. They were cautious, as I am moving in a strange way at the moment, with a suspicious stick in my hand. A few days more and I should be free of it.

Today's workshop with Giovanna 🧢❀️

Hop! 🦌 I'm learning to walk around the house with one crutch. I've also fed the sheep myself today πŸ˜€ I need to learn everything quickly, as I have a workshop on Sunday. Individual workshop for one person, but still a lot of work. Will be preparing all day tomorrow.

Made some new yarn ball pins. I make them with my sheep's wool, dyed naturally. pecorelle.etsy.com/listing/1402...

Hello sheep πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

New wood and wool sheep in my etsy shop pecorelle.etsy.com Made entirely by hand with local materials. My neighbour makes the wood sheepies and I dress them in local wool.

Cauliflower leaves. They would not even look at them in summer, too thick and hard. But in winter any fresh green leaf is good!

Finished the slippers! I'm still walking with crutches, but there are many things that I can do sitting down. I have prepared the slippers time ago, and left all the finishing for this my "slow time" πŸ‘πŸ‘

Meanwhile in the barn πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Combing wool πŸ§ΆπŸ‘

Spinning with my new electric wheel

Good evening

I've spent a few days at friend's place and now I'm finally home! Happy to be here, but walking with crutches is so annoying. Must resist 10 more days.

I don't have any new sheep photos at the moment, but here is one of Gaby from last spring. Many thanks to Jo for the ko-fi!
