February 6, 2013
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. IMAG7242-1 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.

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. IMAG7050-1 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. IMAG7052-1 Make sure you hope on over to Sosae Caetano's wonderful blog. She is the one who started WIP Wednesdays.

A good day

Today I just took care of the kids and cleaned. 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.

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





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. See yah tomorrow.

Today was a very eventful day. 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.

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.

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.
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.

Today I did not get much knitting done. Vincent was off the wall and would not take a nap.

I think that is about all that went on today.

just been spinning and knitting taking care of kids same ol same ol lol

here are some pics of my projects going on right now
