dye my own yarn
Untitled 7 months ago

I recently started spinning on a spindle and I just love it. I want to go as far back in the process as possible (bar actually shearing the sheep) so I am working backwards from spinning to acquiring raw fleece.
There’s a lot to learn, but my next stop is dyeing!



learn to walk in high heels (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 7 months ago

I realised the problem was not the height of the heels so much as the fit of the shoe. I had been wearing size 37, but my feet are actually size 35. I had buying bigger shoes to fit my foot width not realising that they just didn’t fit, and then wondering why I couldn’t walk comfortably in them! I got some very comfy wide fitting shoes in a 35.5 with a bar across with about a 2 inch heel, and they are so comfy I can wear them all day. I also got a pair of 2 inch wide wedge boots, and the same applies.

I will still be trying to increase my heel height, but I will make sure that any shoes I buy are the right size and wide enough for me.



grow my hair (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 7 months ago

Nearly a year on now, since I started growing my hair. I started with a longish pixie cut and it’s now easily reaching my shoulders. The amount of growth in 11 months is quite astounding! I have only had a couple of tiny trims. I think to celebrate getting to 12 months I will celebrate by going to a hairdresser and having my mane tamed, so it has actually has some sort of style rather than just being ‘there’.
