Shetland X Fleece

Today, I thought I would share with you one of my project fleeces.  I picked it up at the Black Sheep Fiber Fest in 2016 and while I have yet to complete a project with it, it has given me many hours of entertainment. The fleece is from Shetland cross named Tilly, which I know because it was written on the receipt. Thank you to everyone who does this, it is super charming!  Tilly’s fleece is…

Thousands of years ago, somebody looked at a flock of sheep and went, “well, they aren’t cold.”

imagine Bob Ross painting in the style of Hieronymus Bosch

“this little demon down here is kind of lonely, let’s give him some happy little friends. little demon party.”

The Only Child:

has actually talked to their parents more than once

i mean, i imagine you’d kinda have to unless you get friends

probably has considered running away on multiple occasions, hell even if their parents are chill it’d at least be interesting

will probably go wild in college. Either that or just…carry on.

all around fascinating human being 

The First Born:

Elsa probably

Their internal monologue is just screaming

So filtered that no one knows what they actually think of them

genuinely good at things, but since they’re the first kid, they set the standard and they get stuck in this loop of believing they’ll never be good enough even though they’re /more/ than competent

can’t straight up tell people that they dislike them

The Middle Child:

Literally Can’t Do Anything Right

The only member of the family who’s allowed to make Mistakes

hates conflict but is simultaneously really fucking confrontational

Hasn’t felt an emotion other than :~) in three years

crafts their personality into a complete joke in anticipation of no one taking them seriously, living in a constant state of uncertainty as to whether or not their actions are genuinely ironic

The Second Child-A:

Type-A Personality

The list of things they’ve never done reads: “Gotten Less than a 96%, Fallen, Made a Fool of themselves In Public, etc.”

Superhuman

Seems suspiciously like the kind of person who reminds the teacher to give homework because they need to keep their 140% in Bio.

They don’t even need to be part of your family, they’ll still be your mom’s favorite child– you’re not even jealous, you’re just like “Same”. 

The Second Child-T:

*the impossible dream plays softly from a distance*

like the Middle Child but engineered to be Better,

making it twice as devastating when they inevitably ruin everything    

probably believes they’ve accidentally wronged the universe on some personal level and lives their life overcompensating for something they did when they were like 9-years-old

has been fixated on the same goal for the past 7 years

The Youngest of Three: 

The Only Good One

is aware of that fact

has their life together, drinks more water than you will in your entire life, runs a twitter with more than 40k followers, and is only 8-years-old

cried for like three hours because they couldn’t draw a sunflower 

so many friends, they all just kinda blur together 

The Youngest in a Line of Many:

has all of the talent. 

If your lucky, some of their talent will rub off on you.

also has all of the independence, and could probably beat you in an argument at any time of the day regardless of who’s right

Sometimes they’re like “I had to fistfight my brother for a sandwich once” and you think they’re joking around

they’re not joking around
