#tracywearswool day 75 out of 100, and it is time for tea.
Two for tea.. and that is generally me. And sometimes, that is when I make my phone calls, or video calls with friends and family. It is a good way to connect, over a cuppa.. and see how things are going.
Of course, It will be nice to get back to the regular time… if there is any such thing anymore. You know, tea in person. Or coffee… or bourbon. Anything, really.
The time will come, I am sure of it.
For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.
What’s in store today:
Another chilly day at the beach, so there are lots of layers today. I practiced my Appalachain Flatfooting and Clogging — Trying to get it down enough to make a video. I can’t say how much I enjoyed learning this, and I sure hope to continue. In fact, I would love to travel to Kentucky and see where the family went along the Appalachian Trail. Between Amazing Dress people, and clogging people, I will have a lot of new folks to visit with. In the meantime, I’ll hang out at the beach.
It didn’t get much above 50 today, so again, it was lots of layers I started with Woolamaina, and added a hand-knit mixed fiber sweater that I have had for years.
Added my GAP jacket, with zip-in lining. Super warm.
You never know what to expect from the weather this time of year. On the beach, we can get some pretty stiff winds, that can drop the temperatures in a flash. I always find that layers work the best.
The safest bet is nice fleecy tights, and a scarf.
This is hand dyed piece of indigo fabric — I think it is silk. It was once the wrapping for some yarn that was a gift from my daughter. A friend of hers grows the indigo for dying.
When the weather gets to be icer I will coordinate some time to go dye some wool — so excited — enough for a sweater for my challenge.
These Keen mary janes are just about the most comfortable footwear around.
Thanks for joining me on day 75 of #tracywearswool.
Stay tuned for the next 25 days!

Be well, and get out there and grow!
