Makeing progress… I think.

I got the edging finished & laid them out. It made a rather tiny rectangle so I decided to space them a bit more. I'll go out to Le Shed and go through the bin of Rosy's small skeins. I'm sure she spun somthing that will go with this. The problem will be to find a compatable wool, size, and yes, color....

A different way of looking at it.

I don't nap in the bed. That is until today, and when I go to bed at night, I feel my way there, my night vision being negligible and all the lights out since He's usually abed and asleep by the time I get there these days. But the point of this ramble is that, yes, I know there are spider webs on this window but as I cannot reach it, I don't worry about it....

Is it spring… or not!

I "reorganized" my yarn shed recently and found a ball of my hand spun wool in a box that the silverfish had gotten into. One of the few really fine yarns i’d managed to make. Most of my handspun tends to be bulky 'art’ yarn so I was bummed to find this in bits. The bits were reasonably long so i wove on the 4" Multi loom, joining as I went....

This person has no idea what goes into a project like this, having never created anything with their hands. I feel sorry for her but not worth your momentary consideration.

Where to even start with this one..

Some people see a 12–14 week turnaround and think it means something is wrong. In reality, it means my blankets are popular and my prices are still low enough that demand stays high.

I could increase my prices and reduce my waitlist, but I choose not to because I want to keep my blankets affordable. That means a longer turnaround, because every piece is handmade and made to order.

You don’t have to be my customer if that timeline doesn’t work for you. But calling it “ridiculous” I think is unfair.

These keepsake blankets aren’t mass-made, they’re handmade, so they take time.

99.9% of you totally understand and give me nothing but love and support but there’s always that tiny minority that make you doubt yourself

April 1!

Well, I made it through another year. I think I'll bake myself a cake today! Pineapple upside down is my favorite. My late girlfriend used to make a really yummy Chocolate Cherry cake for me but I never got the recipe from her. Too bad. Ah well... today is a lovely rainy day, just misting at the moment but we needed this rain....

Taking a short break

Starting tomorrow, we will be out of business for probably a week while I get a new computer. The web site will still be up but I won’t be able to process any orders until the Geek Squad gets all my 'stuff' transferred to the new computer. Meantime, I hope you will all have a Lovely Valentines Day! ♡♡♡ Hazel www.hazelroselooms.com

I wonder if you have ever read the Declartion of independence? It is a document that will make you wonder about how things are how going these days. Spend a few minutes reading this. You’ll find it interesting, whatever your political views.

Are there any crocheters in the Weaverville or Redding area who make stuff for charity using acrylic yarns? I have quite a bit of small-ish ball of assorted colors that would be great for granny square type projects. I just want to find a use for this yarn I’ll never use.
