Ahhhh! Spring!

-
Nothing says spring like a trip to A to Z farms to see the new babies! I got there right when they opened and it was crowded already. Guess a lot of folks learned their lesson from trying to go later last year too. It was LAMB-DE-MONIUM in there ! As you can see by the tally board. They were in high gear. There were lambies:














And piggies...

(Who quite frankly looked like their mama mighta kicked it up a little with the Holstein kids' dad one cold night in the barn! Shhh! )











There were bunnies and chickies and turkeys ...








And best of all!!!!





TREASURE!

Confetti batt from the Frene Creek Farm vendor. It's 2 oz of a mixture of 'many types of wool, camel, tussah silk and firestar' sparkley stuff. That's right! Melted peacock colored, soft as kittens and shiney. Don't get much better'n that! Hello spring!

Thete *might* be somethin' sweeter than lambies ('n piggies 'n calvies 'n all them) but I can't imagine where they are. I LOVE lambies -- because they grow up to suppy yarn which Those Cleverer than I can spin into breathtakingly beautiful yarns; also, the sight of spring lambs carry the scent of MINT on the freshening breeze....either way, I DO love me some lambies! (My "word" is ENTSO...to which I can only reply IZTOO!)

Yay for babies!! They are all so cute! I love lambies but I have a real soft spot for piggies, too. :)

Awwwww, the lambikins! I would have loved to go see them, but combination the price (not bad, but kind of adds up with five of us) and crowds (that's the real kicker for me!) kept us home...

lambdemonium, OMG!

I love the idea of your treasure, mix of this and that... is it really super luxe and orgasmic and soft?

whoooo.... OK, just looked at the peacock feathers shawl, yowza!!! I'm thinking this might be the thing I make for my friend who gave me that alpaca roving. She runs "phoenix tae kwon do", and though peacocks are not phoenix, it IS similar....

I loved looking at all of the babies, though my favorites are always the cows. No wool there, but I just like the way they look :-)

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
