Wanting

I don't want for much. It's not a big life, but I am content with it. The people around me are inspirational, genuine, kind and funny (sometimes kind of funny). We have a lovely place to live, our animals, and I have as much fibre in the house as I can possibly fit in.

And yet, I did want something...a weird thing, an unnecessary thing....but something that has added wildly to my happy factor.

Gertrude (Gertie) is going to make a lovely addition to the already crowded house. She will come to craft shows and trade shows with me. She will travel and adorn herself in half finished scarves. She will inspire new designs and keep me company during the design days.

I didn't think I could fit anything else in my life, and I've long since given up collecting anything other than wool, yet somehow Gertie fits in just fine.
