...home.

Home, the spot of earth supremely blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest.
~Robert Montgomery

 

Well back from Norway- it has been and incredible experience- so good to be home in Montucky. Just the every day stuff. I so appreciate my life here in America. My horses, my dogs, the warm sunny days- just random things.

However my family is still in my heart and I think of then so very often.

When we came home I made "lapper" ( little pieces) a Norwegian style pancake that is served with sour cream and raspberry jam. I add cardamom- because it my most favorite spice in baked goods.

 

 

Auggie is devouring them here with a tall glass of ice cold milk.

We eat them for breakfast but they are served almost like "mid day tea" in England- at my uncles.

 

(I am in the process of "processing" my images from Norway and will be uploading them soon)

 

Many things opened up for me while away- how much I missed spinning. I had just bought a

Maja craft Aura- before my hands kicked the bucket. This beautiful spinning wheel all the way from the factory in New Zealand...and I barely used it. So...with that I am giving it a go again- trying something entirely new- change, remember...that is what I am about these days- I am plying yarn. Letting go of the days of art yarn too chunky for my hands to spin...but this, might work.

 

 

This is my lazy Kate- pretty clever?

Yep, laundry basket with my bobbins on long needles- it's not prefect but it works.

 

2 skeins...leftover roving from former days. These are okay...Rome wasn't built in one day- I'll get better.

 

...a scarf is in the making. Can't tell you have good it feels to make something from the beginning-
 and to be home.

Have you been traveling this summer....do tell?
