I have also finished spinning , plying, & dyeing several skeins of yarn from the wool fleeces of my Jacob sheep. There is such a feeling of satisfaction when I have raised the sheep that produce the wool fleeces I have sheared and turn into yarn .
My sheep are due to have their lambs within the next 2 months and that has me excited with anticipation. Every year brings it's own joys and excitement, and new lambs rate pretty high on my scale in achieving that.
Anyway, I have finally finished some things that have been in the works for awhile around here and have the tangible proof for all to see that yes, I really do finish my projects and goals.

Awesome. You live the life I have always dreamed of, but not possible where I live and have lived. Very hard work, but being self sufficient is so very rewarding.
You are brilliant.
I love your 'happy' rugs!
I am truly impressed and inspired by the work that you do.
Those two quotes that you closed your post with are great. Thank you.

Those colors make me happy too. Good for you for making something for yourself. I am a part of a spinning group that meets once a month. We also demonstrate weaving at the fair. I don't have a loom, but I weave a rug a year at the fair. I love them.

Congrats on finishing things up. It's such a great feeling to accomplish something.
love that feeling I get when I'm finished with a project, especially one that is a labour of love. Love the colours, beautiful. Have a lovely Sunday and enjoy the spring weather!
It is gratifying to complete a project and I like the colours in your rug. I'm glad turquoise or aqua has made a comeback as I always liked this colour.
Beautiful work, Kathy! I'm sure it is very satisfying to finish a piece, especially when you are making it for your own use. The colors are very pretty.
New lambs, how much fun! Looking forward to seeing the pictures.
