With a little Tuesday thrown in…


Because this thing called a nap? Have you heard of it? It is AWESOME!

Now for spinners, I have this idea:
So I just signed up for Funky Carolina's Scrappy Club where you get a bunch of her awesome fibers in a tiny little bunches. Here is an example, and here is an example of one of those bunches spun up. What I was thinking was a swap where spinners could piece off little bits of fiber from various stash bundles that they have to total up four ounces and I could randomly assign a partner to send it to. In return you'd get a four ounce bundle of different fibers to play with. That's my rough outline anyway. Anyone interested? If so I'll put together actual guidelines and a sign up. I'm interested to know how many spinners are out there anyway – hello, hello?

Now I might as well show you some pretty fiber-goodness pictures:


The cool half of my Spunky Eclcetic semi-solid merino sampler.


And some batts from her shop. I've never spun batts before so I'm excited about these. Mmm they look like cotton candy to me, and I love cotton candy!


And I got her club. I know crazy fiber around here, good thing Tuesday seems to like watching the wheel go round, for little bits of time anyway!

Oh and one more picture of Tuesday for kicks:


Sparkle pants is wearing a handknit sweater from my friend, jeans (without crotch snaps – so cute!), and foot finders. Kay I remember you getting some of these for your brother's baby in Maine. I asked you what foot finders were and you said, "Where are my feet? There they are!"

It's strange that the good and bad days in my life right now are so tied to sleep. We go from wake up happiness:


To insane tiredness:


And everything else in between in the course of a day. I realize more and more how much I need other people to help me, and that can be a hard thing to figure out when you're like me and want to do it all. There is no way I can. Today lunch was brought to me, my mom came over to take my packages to the post office, and I called a neighbor to hold Tuesday so I could fix dinner since Bj was still at work. I also got Tuesday to take a 20 minute nap (not on me) and did a little spinning. I think those tiny bits of me time are going to be my sanity. Back to the photo journal of my day.


New toy. She will play with this for five minutes by herself, but half an hour or more if you shake it and talk to her about all the parts. She really is getting so social! Also I love this sweater my mom knit her. She has been the spit up queen lately (Tuesday, not my mom), so I have a tub full of woolens to wash tomorrow.


The first bobbin is finished, now on the second, hoping to get a third done and make a true 3-ply (fiber from Squoosh). Now that we're using the sling I can do a little more on the computer. I was able to stock the Hello Yarn update and got a few things.


And when my mom stopped by she brought her new camera! Not bad considering the lack of sleep and make up!

Well I'm going to go try to get this little bird to sleep!
