July 5, 2010


I have been doing a lot of spinning lately for Tour De Fleece. I had a fun weekend at ABC's of Creative Pursuits. I got to go play with Karen's acid dyes. It was a lot of fun. I definitely have to get my own acid dyes someday. It is a lot of fun to dye with them.

Fourth of July was a lot of fun. Good food and a good time with family. Little man had a good time and like to run around when the strobe fireworks were going off. It was funny.


well here is some pictures from what has been going on

these are pictures of illegal fireworks people in our neighborhood were setting off. pretty though


























































this is my tour de fleece day 1 and 2 accomplishments. 200 yards of lace of lace to fingering weight yarn. my hands are so sore from spinning. LOL

I will post more pictures later of some more hand dyed yarn and roving I did this weekend. They are drying right now. I also have some new little man pictures to post up as well. ttfn

here is my acid dyed cascade 220















I was still rinsing here.

Here she is all wound up















I used hot pink, purple, and teal jacquard acid dyes. So much fun. can't wait to do it again:-)

I also received a pair of alpaca socks as well, they are so wonderfully warm. My toes are always cold wearing normal cotton socks. not so with these. I love them. Thank you

You can see his beautiful blue eyes. I love the expression on his face.

It has been a while since I have blogged anything. I was just so super busy with the holidays. Than a scare to my personal health. My doctor's were thinking I had breast cancer. It turned out just to be a bad infection. I still have to get an ultrasound of the lump to make sure. My pathology came back negative of the sample they took. I am happy for that. I can rest a lot easier now. I might still have to have surgery to have the lump removed. I will know more on that later this month. So for the time being I am still here.
I was wondering if you could do me a favor and go to Fluffington Fiber SAL and vote for my handspun. I am number 7. I would greatly appreciate it
here is little man looking at the fluffington farm yarn. I was trying to get him to hold it but he was all about the graham crackers as you can see.









I have been doing a lot of spinning and a little knitting. Here are some pictures of some of my spinning:

this is alpaca,cormo and silk from
counting sheep farm. I won it for being the
