a wee project....okay...so I knit it instead of crochet.....

all in all I am happy with it but it gets the juices flowing....I want to knit and felt different little gnome houses....

I also am getting my stash out and lining up combinations to knit some hats for fall and for wee relatives....

hopefully in august I will get a moment or two to be more productive..

I also placed the stores Rowan, Gedifra, and Regia sock yarn orders for fall....I actually showed some restraint.....I am trying to figure out which direction to take this all in so in 3 years when my store space is built I have a clear idea of what I want.....(unfortunately, I want it all)....

Ugh...miss princess is hiding...

she has been a sick kitty lately who has lost weight.....yet, she is acting pretty normal. Her white blood cell count is up and we are trying antibiotics hoping she is just fighting an infection....cross your fingers....in a week we will know if she is progressing.

yep, it has been a week of ups and downs....some great packages arrived.....SP10...miss A......

and downs...princess being sick...not enough sleep....

and emotional nervousness ....Miss boo is having her first sleep over at Summer camp tonight....I miss her terribly...I am hoping it is as a fantastic experience as I had at summer camp as a child...tomorrow we will know the answer....

and on to the craziness of a summer weekend at the store....I long for fall and time for knitting, dyeing, spinning, and sewing....

lots of pictures to download.....but until I get a chance to do that.....a bit of news....

4 sheltand sheepies have been born that will be coming to live with us.....woooohoooo.....

3 ewes...1 ram (will be castrated....we are not going to breed right yet...I think the chicken killing has scarred the mister and he wants to not have to worry about lambies right yet....woooohoooo.....)....and they will be organically raised and processed...organic sheltland yarn in the future!
