Cliffy's hat
and you are seeing 3 hats and one neckwarmer....
I also have another hat on the scanner that I spun the yarn specifically for...
Okay...truthfully I could have accomplished more....but I have been a bit sluggish....it has been raining and damp...and I have registered so many deer that any thought of knitting would feel futile...hopefully this evening I can get to it

instant spring
so here is my handspun....some flowers, some grass, and some blue sky....just makes me squeal to look at it on the mannequin....delightful....
I also figured out a much easier way to make the flowers with this spinning conquest....the old way...which involved slubs and needle felting has left a skein on the sewing table to be embellished...hopefully this time next week, that'll be accomplished....
Not much new here....just chugging away through February....went to the movies with dh and miss boo to see "Spiderwick Chronicles"....delightful movie but was quite different than the books.....so boo noticed all the changes and decided she did not need to own it when it came out on DVD....
more knitting completed...pictures on the flickr account....and just attempting to catch up on all the little bits that have been left by the wayside...(clothing repairs...etc)....hopefully will be able to spin a bit tonight while the dh is out....and sunday night is girlie night with boo, who knows what we will delight in...

funny compliment...
weekend
Friday night boo and daddy built the box sled for fun at the winter day at DCS. Boo was a fierce competitor winning her first two heats and then all 4 sleds tied on the first of the final heat....so they did it again and she came in second.....
Here she is with her lovely sled and trophy (in her bedroom, along with her tent pitched beside it)....luckily the sled will move into the basement for tweaking for next years competition...
great job boo....

circle the wagons #1
and then I gathered a vintage ankle length apron out of muslin (muslin that was becoming pretty raw)....so I stripped it down and will spin it up with some white romney I have....then the embellishing will begin....I have decided at this time to make it a single ply and then sew the buttons and "wheels" on where I want them....the wheels are metal and I was concerned with them cutting the thread and some of the mop buttons won't fit through the orafice....so thus some handwork to be done...let's pretend I am doing it on the wagon....(but really chances are...I will be having a beer at the time...get it....)hee heee....
perfect superbowl handwork.....ya know...the patriots and stuff....

ski neck
my neckwarmer was completed this morning and I am absolutely delighted....the only thing that would have made it better is if it was all out of handspun....but hey....I will be delightfully warm and knittingly stylish on the slopes....
the pluckyfiber yarn sold last night......good bye sweet yarn...enjoy it christina....
so, what's on tap....a bit more work on the birthday scarf and getting things ready for Spin challenge #5 At the Yarn Museum....I am gathering my supplies....;)

lucious yarn
Back and in action....
whew...what a crazy and stressful bunch of months it has been....hopefully I will be back blogging regularly again...and creating too!
Christmas was a whirlwind of family. We were all together for the first time in years and the children enjoyed eachother so much. It was soooooo nice!
We made an offer on 8 acres of land here....a few doors down...offer was accepted and we closed on the 30th....between the bank, the accountant and just plain old me stressing to no end (it is our quietest time of year).... it is done....we are fine...a flu (lost my voice for 4 days...not even a squeak) and a cold later....I finally feel more at ease. Bring on February, dammit!!!!
I went away at the beginning of January with miss boo....we had a great time....few bumps in the road....day we left- my dear sweet princess kitty died after a short battle with liver issues....it was rotten and I miss her terribly....still makes me weepy to think about it..
On vacation Miss Boo got a stomach virus while at Epcot and Disney Hollywood studios....she was a trooper. Luckily 24 or so hours later she was ready to enjoy again...
Finally I got a burst of creative energy and spun 4 skeins of yarn (pictures on flickr).....and knit 3 hats and one neckwarmer. I think February will be the month of purple....birthday gift halfway done....neckwarmer for me (for skiing)....and then various hats and such to use up the left overs....and there are some fibers carded and ready for spinning and some stuff on the bobbin waiting for that something special :)
Phew....sweet relief....
