It was a dull grey Saturday here today, so I took my camera for a walk, taking photos of things that make me happy. Despite the dim light, I found plenty to photograph - so many that this is a photo-heavy post, sorry if that makes it slow to load…

First of all there’s my bowl of hyacinths, which have just started to flower.

And my iPod touch, which I got this Christmas (now with spinning and knitting aps installed on it)

My current spinning project, this is Wildcraft superwash BFL in ‘Cornfield’.

The braids of Wildcraft club fibre that I managed to keep for myself this month…

My newest handspun, handknitted socks. (Ravelled here.)

The latest batch of Wildcraft fibre, dyed in preparation for next weeks’ shop update.

The fluffy purple jumper that I’m knitting, which now has sleeves attached, at last!

The Rodrigo y Gabriela album that I bought last week (amazing guitar sounds).

The expectant faces of my sheep, looking forward to their dinner.

And the contented munching sound they make when eating it…

Finding a piece of fallen lichen in the woods (I can use this for a resin spindle whorl).

My little grey cat, Fili, on her favourite outdoor perch.

Inara’s nose, which is very soft.

Finding that the connection on the horses’ water trough made it through the recent cold spell without leaking.

And finally, discovering the first snowdrops of the season.

I guess it was a good day after all!
