....And Some More

I've been doing some more spinning. I find it to be relaxing after a long week. It's amazing how the four day weeks are more work and more stress than the five-dayers. What's up with that?

I have been playing with some lovely Shetland fibers from Spunk Eclectic. I just love this colorway. The name is Raisin Wannabe. Purples, rich pinks and rosy tones, and a shocking green thrown in. I am planning to ply it with some natural black Shetland that I bought a long time ago. I think it will be be a pretty cool looking 2-ply with the barber-pole effect. No idea what it will turn into. I need to finish spinning another 2 ounces of the black before I can ply it.



Update on February Lady.
I finished the body and picked out these wonderful buttons. Now I just need to tackle the sleeves!

A few of my dear friends, Kara, Kathy, Carrie,Mindy, and Shannon and hubby got together with my family for celebrating my birthday.

She did not fit the rest of the atmosphere at all. Of course we decided that she would if she had on longer shorts. Of course the poking fun continued when one of the bus boys just happened to go to school with both of my kids. He asked DS what he was doing and , son replied "not much of anything". Lawn Guy made some kind of noise and I thought I should crawl under the table as I looked around at my all to knowing friends and our own rolling of the eyes and giggling. Unfortunately, DS doesn't get life, but hey, he's moving out

Dear Gardagami

I wanted to let you and EVERYONE WHO READS MY BLOG AND SEES YOUR NAME - DO NOT OPEN COMMENT!! For some reason there seems to be a virus attached to it! I can't imagine just what I or any others have done to bother you so. Maybe your a hater of the fiber arts? Well if this is the case, then don't read the blogs that include that kind of love. For you fiber related friends, again I must repeat don't open anything that says Gardagami for the blog name.
