A drive by post...

Just a few quick photos for you this evening....

My silly Jazzy.


And let me show you what 5 oz. of corriedale fiber looks like on my bobbin.
I can't believe I got it all on there! Looks like I'll be doing my n-plying on my little Babette (Fidelis Wheel).


Hope everyone is having a good week!!

I can't remember it all!

I know a lot has gone on since I've made my last "real" post. But I can't remember everything I was going to share! Sheesh.

We have been doing well. Just working & enjoying some time with our Marine before he gets deployed later this month. I've been making some clay stuff, doing a little spinning, not much knitting going on lately, a little reading.

Jasmine is good, her last vet appt. went well, the vet said that he would never had guessed that she was almost 10 years old if he hadn't read it in her chart. That's a good thing. :) She has been doing a lot of napping as usual. And has taken quite a shine to the pillows on the bed, she thinks they are all there for her, every day she is on a different one. LOL


I came up with Cactus Stitch Markers & Buttons, turned out cute I think. They are all in my artfire shop if anyone is interested in a few faux succulents. :)

Here are the last projects that I finished right around Christmas that I know I haven't posted about.
My first woven scarf, the only one so far. I was weaving some pillows, the yarn was a bit "sticky" but I was going to suffer through it until Kevin admitted that he didn't like them. So why bother? I cut them off this weekend. Now to figure out what project I want to do next....



Here is the Starr Neckwarmer that I made for my childhood BFF for Christmas, with some more kitty fur yarn that I spun. This is the Ripple Cowl by Rachel Bishop (Ravelry link). Nice, quick pattern. And Beth loved it, that's all that matters. :)



I cleaned up my messy fiber/craft room! This is before....


This is the same area after the clean up!

I really shouldn't show this photo, I should be ashamed of myself to have this much stash & UFO's hidden in here! LOL


OH! Anyone up for a SAL (Spin-A-Long)? Blue Mountain Handcrafts is having a Vacation Destination SAL. Check out the linkey for more info if you are interested. We've only got until the 22nd to get in on it!

Great prizes to be awarded for the SAL too! They include one of Beth's awesome new Tote Bags, a spinning batt, a set of my markers & a WPI tool.

Well, I think that is about it for now. Hope you guys had a great weekend!!!
