Like a walk through the country side living on a small farm is full of daily surprises, sometimes wonderful and amazing, and other times puzzling and sad. I hope you will walk with me as I live out my dream of living on this tiny farm. You will come to know the dogs, cats, Shetland sheep and chickens that make up this farm and what goes into keeping them happy and healthy. Come and join the journey with me.

Have I Lost My Mind??

Well, obviously.
So I have this spinning wheel, that I can't even spin on , yet. (Please don't look at my piled up, messy house! You can look though and note that the spinning wheel has the driver band ON). If that isn't bad enough, I had to go to a flea market today, on the way home from work, and buy this thing!

And even though I have no yarn, and can't spin, I just had to have this antique yarn winder. Did it even sink in that it's even bigger than my spinning wheel and that I have no room for it? Evidently not.
I probably would have been able to walk away from it but it was on sale. Down from $65.00 to $39.99. It's a pretty charming looking old piece, and I assume it is workable. If I ever had any yarn spun up I might find out.


I'm not sure I'll keep it, but for now it's tucked behind the wood stove, where I can admire it, but still not trip over it.

Somebody really needs to do an intervention here!
