The View from the Couch

 Now that I have gotten all the business tax stuff into spread sheets and ready to go I now have totes taking over the living room.  I have been pulled in 14 different directions lately and just haven't had the time to post or much else for that matter.

This is what I have staring at me in my living room that needs to be photographed.....

 Yarn and fiber fiber and yarn and of course the silk hankies.  Then there are the extras like the kids books, stuffed sheep, drop spindles, angelina, stitch markers, and other fun accessories

I have a lot of work ahead of me to get it all photographed while I try and keep up with the household, take care of the kids, do the mounds of laundry that have piled up, spin yarns to make OOAK items for photo props and so on and so forth.

Well the dryer has called my name yet again.  If I don't keep up on this laundry thing it will swallow me up alive.  I have so much to do and can't let that happen.  Here's hoping that I can take a break this evening for some fiber fun.

Thanks Are Over/Due

I listed these in order of when I got them.

This first thanks goes to Deb at Fearless Fibers. I thought that I had posted this, but I can't seem to find it. So I must have thought of the post in my head and just never put it down in type.

She was having a contest and I won a felted bag kit with her wonderful yarn. Look at those colors! I love blue. Thanks Deb! Head over to her blog and check out the things that she has for sale at her Etsy store.

Speaking of Etsy she has a wonderful post about them. Go over and check it out.


Next thanks goes to my friend Susan. She was lucky enough to go to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this year. I requested some yummy spinning fiber if she had enough room in the car after all her shopping.

She brought back this:


Can you guess what it is?



Here is a close up.

It is California Variegated Mutant!!! The colors range from white to a creamy brown. It is so pretty.


Also she brought back this:


Yummmmmm Look at that brown fibery goodness.

This my friends is Dark Blue Faced Leicester (or BFL for short). This stuff is like crack.

Thanks so much Susan!!!

If you happen to be in the Cincinnati, or Tri-state area you should stop by Susan's Store. It is so very cute and chalked full of fibery goodness. She not only has yarns that you don't find in other stores, but she is also selling roving and fleeces!


Last, but certainly not least, is this:



I won a contest at Mandy's blog. I got a skein of Lisa Souza sock yarn and 2 sets of way cute stitch markers.

Thanks Mandy!!!!

Also if you are looking for charity knitting Mandy heads up Caps for a Cure. Head on over and check it out. LOL HEAD on over LOL. She also has and Etsy store.

Thanks to everyone. I am excited about all my fibery goodness.
