Happy Thanksgiving

I have been knitting a bit....

an adult hat, a baby hat....

in process....neckwarmer and another baby hat...

but today boo sewed...

she used my machine and her fabric stash and made a new pillowcase with french seams...

it is lovely and she did a fantabulous job...

and this week...I sewed 5 bags so far...

another 5 to 7 cut out and just need to be sewn....

and 2 ornaments...

but tomorrow morning I get to go play at the craft fair

and hopefully get to get some pottery from my favorite artist....woo hoo...

fingers crossed...

Happy Thanksgiving

got an egg....

we got our first egg from the newly adopted chickens....ain't it a beaut...

the second one boo brought to school for lunch...

it is dang cold here...

i am attempting to motivate myself for the holidays...

i need to make ornaments for the swap and I just haven't hit on what exactly I want to and have time to make...i tend to overthink things and get a bit mentally elaborate...ugh...

what to make...what to make.....

Cliffy's hat

This is cliffy's hat

I carded the wool and then did a two ply spin....sport weight...

it is delightful....

did i mention the chickens came today?

so....you may think I was slugging off....

well...I did dye some mohair locks....
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

where's my motivation...

it is a rainy day here.....I typed up the pie order sheets....labels for my superwash sock yarn....

I really should be knitting

(42 more hats to go for January....

when the blue one appears in Yankee Magazine....)

I should also be spinning...

3 buckets of carded fiber to go....

or carding....

all I am doing is dreaming of January vacation...thinking of christmas present possibilities...and putting larger piles into smaller piles ( and some piles are just going in the trash)...

again

a few yarns I spun.....

so...I am attempting to keep up with my blog (again)....

the world is fine...the election is over....

pie season is about to begin....

knitting is on the needles....

spinning is on the bobbin....

fiber is prepped....

dyepot is on....

and this next week the birthing stalls and chicken coop will be built for the newly adopted chickens...
