I’m so in love with this colorway from Southern Cross Fibre. I used to belong to a few fiber clubs and it put me over the edge into crazy stash land. I love the idea of getting wonderful fiber mailed every month, but I couldn’t keep up and jewels like this just got lost in …

Sunset Spin
I have had this fiber on the bobbins for so long! I found a picture of the fiber (at least I think this is it!) from September of 2009, but no pictures of me spinning it up. Luckily I was obsessed with keeping track of my stash in Ravelry at this time so I know …
Dusty, but not Rusty
Oh hey, remember when I used to spin? No, no, not on a stationary bike, but with my lovely wheel. Ah those were good times. I even spun a bunch while Tuesday was a newborn. You know, while she nursed for three hours at a time (the new baby won’t do that right? it will …
Calming Hands
Yuck, I got a cold! Boo hoo hoo especially because our dear friends are here form Alaska with their little cutie pie who is four months younger than Tuesday and I want to hang out! But in the interest of not sending them back up north sneezing and blowing their nose (and cursing my existence) …
I call it optimism
So things are a little crazy around here. Husband with staples in head, daughter with the croup (it's getting better thanks for the well wishes), and now me with a sore throat, stuffy nose, cough… dare I say it? A cold! All this has not stopped me from working on ordering supplies for lots of …
The forth year of fiber
On Saturday my neighbor, her friend, Tuesday and I headed to the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. It was my forth year of going, the first was at the end of the first summer at my new cottage. I love looking at all the fun stuff, colors, animals, fiber, yarn, and I knew Tuesday would …
Birthday Love
I love giving gifts. Finding the perfect thing for someone, or especially making the perfect thing is so much fun. But I'm not going to lie; opening packages on my birthday I love too! The first thing I got on my birthday I got myself at that antique/junk store I was talking about earlier: I …
Knitting Answers
I was able to upload more pictures to my ravelry page for the knit in the last post. While there I posted an updated picture of my thrive sweater: From these handspun singles. I am loving the progress, and it should be ready to go for a nice comfy pullover this fall. I get the …
Just because it was sunny
I had an idea to take pictures of Tutu in her birthday suit. But thought better of since you never know when the girl is going to pee. She doesn't normally wear these diapers, they are like back up emergency ones. But they do the trick. She loves to eat her hands. Ah silly girl, …
Sunshiney Day
I don't think Tuesday quite knows what to do with herself in this heat (high 70s). She's developed a coping mechanism: heheh she's quite proud of it: Okay maybe I just blew a raspberry on her tummy. It's hard to resist! Especially when she pulls her dress up for me. I should say tunic since …
