I have more wool than I can use up in my lifetime and in every color combination possible. Why then, when getting The Wool Studio samples am I tempted to buy one or two yards of the wool I see? Hey, I quit smoking cold turkey, no patches, no hypnotization ~ just quit. But wool?
BTW, the colors of wool you see on The Wool Studio web site are way different than the samples in a flyer. For those of you who don't get the wool samples here is a photo below. I particularly like Sky Bridge which is the 3rd one down in the middle sheet. But looks so very different on the web site which is not nearly as interesting as the sample.
And just for comparison, here is a screen shot of one page on the web site which includes Sky Bridge. I also liked Salt and Pepper but figured a good overdye of some wool already in my stash could sorta resemble that. In other news, I'm having some tree work done and thankfully that gawd awful gum tree out front will be gone after today. Plus other work which amounts to the cost of 71 yards of wool, 😬. Wish I could afford to have all the gum trees removed but this one is more troublesome since it is in the very front of my house.
Here is a before photo of the gum tree but you can't see all those gum balls which are the main pain. The guys are working in the back and side yard on other trees right now.
A humongous dead oak was removed and it was huge. The after stump is hard to see even with the red outline. I've still another huge oak tree closer to the house and hope it lives. Although it was a falling branch which bent the leaf filter system just after the new roof was put on. You'll love it in the woods they said....
A dermatologist appointment tomorrow and dread the hour drive there. Wish there was one in my town. But maybe I'll stop and pick up a couple things I need; but I always think that but will probably be anxious to get back home instead. There's no place like home.

Wherever we go it an hour away. We always joke to those that it is no big deal to us anymore. we chose to live here and love the quietness of our community and towns along the river. UGH on the tree removal. Always something when you own a home. Janice
ReplyDeleteThose wool samples are beautiful and I can see would be hard to resist. You sure are a good steward of your property. I would love to have you for a neighbor. My favorite thing after being out for an appointment or taking care of errands is coming home sweet home and shutting the door behind me. Ahhh heavenly!
ReplyDeleteIt is expensive to have tree work done. I too have more wool than I will ever use. Glad I don't get the samples very tempting.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great appointment.

Pretty wools! I like the Larkspur (?)... Would you like to take on employment as property manager for. one - or both - of my homes?? I'm certainly not keeping up half as well as you. Good luck at the dermatologist. I have one coming up in the next month (I think it is at least...way too many appointments of late.) Always dread this one as I'm fearful of the melanoma returning.
ReplyDeleteSomeone did have the new flyer at hooking Sunday.. I took a little glance and quickly returned it. At the hook in Maria B had bargain wool she had purchased from a former hooker??? or perhaps someone reducing their stash. I don’t remember exactly. Anywho, they were good old wools so I had to buy some 🤷♀️
ReplyDeleteAs I always say, the joys of home ownership. If you got more than one tree cut down and other work done for 71 yards of wool, I’d say that was a real bargain.
My dermatology appointment is also coming up soon. Better to be safe than sorry.
As for the wool, half of the fun in all our creating is the hunt.
ReplyDeleteI love your woods but yes i understand.
All my doctors have retired and left us in the wind. GRR. on the hunt for a new dermo.
We just had 2 huge pine trees cut down , was totally amazing how they did it , cleaned and got it all done in 2 hours ! But cost a lot !!!
ReplyDeleteI saw the Wool Studio flyer on Monday , I wasn't really impressed with most of the colors , but it so hard not to buy some !!! A friend keeps saying for us to keep buying wool , because who knows how much longer we can purchase nice wools . It is just too tempting !!! LOL
Good luck at the Dermatologist and have a safe drive .
Glad u have the tree down,,,,
ReplyDeleteHard to pass up wools,,,
Take care

Having a tree cut down is VERY costly around here. I have a humongous maple tree in my front yard that will need to come down in the not too far away future. My husband used to cut trees down but now the only thing he cuts is a slice of bread.
ReplyDeleteI remember not being able to pass by a piece of wool without buying it. My little closet was full of wool bins.
