Woolthing

Last post I mentioned that I’ve got a puppy in the studio. It has been a challenge. When I thought about a studio dog, I imagined something like this.

Or even something like this.

Of course, the key word here is puppy, so what I got was this.

Topaz, the pup, loves wool.

I did manage to save this warp and with some patience I got it on the loom.

And I started a run of baby blankets.

First one …

And even though the little rotter drives me crazy she also makes me smile … a lot.

Well, I’d like to break the silence but WordPress is making it a bit trying right now. I can’t post pictures and doesn’t it figure that when I finally decide to do a blog I can’t.

So it’ll just be words which is not great cause I wanted to show you a picture of our puppy. She’s been fun and frustrating. I’m hoping to make a studio dog out of her but she gets into everything. So why try?

Well, I’m living with my mother in law, who frankly, seems to be just waiting to die. It’s not a great way to live. A puppy takes great joy in life and I needed that. She’s also good company at the studio. She forces me to take breaks and take walks. That’s all good.

So next time I post hopefully I’ll get a picture in there.
