The Powell-Clan in Springtime
Sometimes I'm a bit sad to know that any future children of mine will live in a house that's quiet and orderly...
because that's certainly the way this house is when my mom's gone for a while and I'm in charge. And it's so different from how I grew up!
My parents are away, going to a conference for my dad's work, and then a few days of tourism. It feels like a vacation here, too, because the sun has returned, and the rhythm is different--I'm getting out and gardening a lot as well as cooking. Trying to get some sort of extra housekeeping task done each day. Today I need to photograph yarn, on my own side...
This is my Hobbit yarn, Smaug Napping. I think he's stinkin' cute, but don't tell him that, at least not in those words...
I have to get more of him, though I spent a good hour (and 217 shots) on it the other day--I hadn't done the step yet of shocking it into place in hot water, and whacking it out to fluff it a bit. He looked pretty good before, so I thought it was okay, but he's a GORGEOUS specimen of dragon now. Feh.
At least I have a completely unphotographed yarn to make it less of a rerun. Another try at an Ashitaka yarn! Still not *quite*...
but let's be honest here.
I have a passion for Ashitaka and Princess Mononoke that can carry me through DOZENS of yarn projects.
Also, I have come up with the perfect rendition on the proposed LJ name, which makes it less of a poetaster and more of a fun change. YAY, now to decide to shell out for it...
