So much stuff has been going on. All good things. Spent the last few weeks packing and moving into our new house. Everyone loves it so much. Everyone has their own rooms and space. I have a whole room as a craft room and that is awesome!
I am currently going out to the Kaiser Permanente Farmer's Market every Sunday for the past two Sundays. It has been enjoyable and I love meeting new people. I even sold a couple items.
I currently have an indiegogo campaing going on to fund going into polymer clay jewelry making. I would love if you would check it out and share it around for me if you would please. here is the <a href="http://igg.me/at/victoriascreations/x/6981269">link</a>
here are some of my recent polymer clay creations.

I just love when the season starts to change into winter. The crispness in the air at night. The smell of fireplaces in the air. Kern County Fair and Halloween. I love all of these. I was at the fair this week taking some photos. It is such eye candy to a photographer.
Here are some of my pictures from the fair. I hope you enjoy them.

I had actually fallen asleep in my computer chair around 630 pm because I was tired. I woke up 30 minutes later checked my phone and had 2 urgent messages. I check them and my mom was like our house caught on fire. I was like OMG! I made my way to their house as calmly as I could drive.
The fireman had the fire contained when I got there. It was still quite smokey though. My mom spent the night at my house because of her COPD. She could hardly breath and was stressed out. It was good for her to leave.
Here are some pictures from that night

<br>It was such a crazy night. My parents have 25-30,000 dollars in damage to their home. My dad is a 100% disabled Vietnam Veteran who is living off of his Veteran's benefits. I started a donation fund to help them out. If anyone can help we would appreciate it.
here is the link to the donation <a href="http://www.gofundme.com/DonRobinsonFirefund">site</a></br>
or if you would feel more comfortable doing it through paypal here is a donation button for my parents. if you would like to send something directly to my parents in the mail just find me on facebook as Victoria Barton and I will private message their address to you.

This has been a good week. Lots of stuff going on in the Barton Household. Vincent is taking his school pictures today. He will be graduating from head start this year and starting pre-k in the fall. Vincent is excited to start big boy school because he will get his Bumble Bee backpack.
I always have a lot of WIPS going on at one time.
This week I am plying some beautiful yarn from atomic blue. She is on etsy by the same name.

I am also making this lovely shaggy bracelet from Unkamen Supplies(etsy)
This lovely little bracelet has purple miyuki drops down the length of the bracelet. It is a delicate and lovely bracelet which has been so much fun to make.

Last but certainly not least and this would be mother natures creation more than mine but I have been nurturing it and feeding it some good organic plant food.
My little basil plant. I love the little leaves. They are so delicate looking.

I have been enjoying spinning the pixie wings. I am now ready to ply and am almost to the plying stage.
This week has been an interesting week but I will share more on that on tomorrows blog.
I am loving the weather today. Mixed sun and cloud intervals. I just saw raindrops and it was not supposed to rain till tomorrow according to the weather man. I love the weather.
Anywho Happy WIP Wednesday.

I have been so busy getting better after my accident that I have not felt like blogging. I am still very sore and tired a lot. I will have a WIP wednesday next week.

Welcome back to WIP Wednesdays. I might actually have some knitting to share next week because I have an order to fill for Easter. 20 little Easter trees in pink yellow and green. Should be cute.
This week I am spinning Pixie Wings. It is a Merino bamboo blend from Sosae Caetano.
I so love her fiber. It holds a special place in my heart.:-)
Anywho. On to fiber my fiber picture.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vickieme/8449991904/" title="IMAG7242-1 by morgaine24, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8055/8449991904_0f4bb8e132.jpg" width="500" height="403" alt="IMAG7242-1"></a>
I have also been dreaming of gardens. I can't wait to get my seeds planted so I can have little seedlings. I have been researching alternate planting techniques, i.e. container gardens, how to fertilize and so on and so forth. It is going to be fun. Can't wait. :-)
well that is all for now and be sure to check out the other blogs under WIP Wednesday in my sidebar.vickiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05921052842846270204noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486193647550207628.post-78911670599118966472013-01-30T00:27:00.002-08:002013-01-30T00:30:41.133-08:00WIP Wednesdays January 30,2013
I am trying something new with my blog WIP Wednesdays. Every Wednesday I am going to be posting one of my works in progress. If I was to post them all I would be here a couple hours.
This week I am working on some spinning some heavenly cotton candy merino tencel fiber. I am absolutely in love with this fiber.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vickieme/8429448228/" title="IMAG7050-1 by morgaine24, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8049/8429448228_0944fae151.jpg" width="418" height="500" alt="IMAG7050-1"></a>
I am spinning this for a shawl I will be knitting soon.
Here is another lovely shot of the fiber drafted. I think it really looks like a Thnead. If you have seen The Lorax you will know what I am talking about.

I got our bedroom all picked up. Kenny vacuumed it so that was awesome because I hate vacuuming. My spinning wheel has a permanent home in front of the window. I can now look out the window and spin. I just need to get myself a small CD player to plug in and listen to while I spin. I also need a big bean bag to chill in in there if I am just spindle spinning in there. That would be lovely. I still have to clean out down the side of the bed and everything will be done after that W00t!!! I am happy for having it almost done. I took before and after pictures but decided not to share them.<br /><br />Vincent was a little pill today. He broke our 150 2 wireless router we bought from at and t. We can;t use the net flix on the Xbox and be online at the same time because of this. I am a little mad about this. well tonight I have videos in my posts. I think I was talking a little to quietly <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />well I am off to watch the vampire diaries and spin my Lucy in the sky with diamonds fiber. I will have some pictures tomorrow. Leave me comments if you like.

Weather wise it was dreary and gloomy and I loved every minute of it. Dad came and took me to Vincent's speech therapy. That was nice because it did not cut into Kenny's work schedule. The speech therapist said Vincent did very well for his first day. I am happy.<br /><br />So back to the weather as soon as we got to Vincent's school it started raining up a storm and the wind was blowing really good. I love this weather. Tomorrow is our last day for rain and than next week back up to the 90's. BLEH That's all I have to say.<br /><br />This morning I got up to go get the laundry out of the dryer and there was a very large black and white pitt bull in our backyard. I backed up went in the house and called animal control. The dog finally went back to his own yard. It knocked four boards out of our fence. Lovely huh.<br />Kenny went out there to see where it got in. The dog was back in his own yard but saw Kenny; barked and started coming towards him. We have a very large back yard and kenny was hauling tail in flip flops screaming open the door. I have never seen someone run so fast in flip flops lol. I told him not to go out there. Did he listen to me noooo. oh well. At least I got to tell him told you so. hehe.<br /><br />Today I did not get much knitting done. Vincent was off the wall and would not take a nap.<br /><br />I think that is about all that went on today.<br /><br />just been spinning and knitting taking care of kids same ol same ol lol<br /><br />here are some pics of my projects going on right now<br /><br />armwarmers spun with fiber from<a href="http://shop.sosaecaetano.com"> Sosae Caetano's wonderful store</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vickieme/6215782347/" title="PA050130 by morgaine24, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6212/6215782347_aa958719be.jpg" alt="PA050130" height="375" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><br />my coral fiber from Sosae's shop I just recently spun up.

It has been nice to be knitting again although it feels a little odd. I am not used to the feel of knitting needles in my hands. I am used to the motions that go with spinning yarn with drop spindles. So after a long while of not knitting it feels extremely foreign to me.<br /><br />I am currently knitting up some arm warmers to go into my etsy store. They are made of Noro Silk Garden and are my own pattern. I will have a completed set tomorrow and will post pictures.<br /><br />Today was an okay day mostly. I have given up the fight on making Vincent take a nap. I am tired of all the screaming and crying he does. All it does is make me mad and wake up his baby sister so she is grumpy because of no nap.<br /><br />Tomorrow is Vincent's first day of speech therapy. It will be interesting to see how it goes.<br /><br />back to knitting.vickiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05921052842846270204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486193647550207628.post-74662925703030742322011-10-03T22:25:00.000-07:002011-10-03T22:31:31.614-07:00today was a very long dayOctober 3, 2010<br />I was so tired today. woke up at 245 am Isabella was so fussy. took awhile to get her settled down again. lindsy and the kids came down again.
