Easter & hair cut

Glitter eggs, candy hunt in jammies, new shades, Cabury Cream Eggs for breakfast - must be Easter.








Some before and after hair cut pictures, both of us lost about half of our hair.






More signs of Spring soon!

I was taken hostage by Twitter & Facebook

I've been sucked into Twitter - follow me here.
& Facebook.
Though the love and obsessiveness has be waning.

Back at the ranch, I've been spinning like a woman in love. In love with my latest wheel:

Here's some of my spinning. A trip around some of Michigan's fiber folk.
Suzanne Pufpaff's black wool with streaks of lime, fuchsia and turquoise.




CJ Kopec's merino and corriedale


Yarn Hollow's merino, alpaca & tussah, mmmmmmmm. Beth has a great selection at her shop too.



I've been playing with my drum carder, too. This is some shetland from Windswept Farm, blended with some tiny yarn snips for a little tweedy action


Still knitting some, but I've mostly been a spinning fiend. Not even doing much designing these days. This little swatch might become something for Beth if she likes it.


My Honey , the Andy of this Andy, fractured his wrist while popping wheelies with the kiddos.
He has Injured Husband Syndrome tm - you know, grumpy, restless, cranky. Worse than Man Cold.

New baby

I have a new to me DT Journey Wheel! All thanks to Carla who kept asking her friend, Nancy, who's not spinning much any more. I never get tired of looking at how it all unfolds. Join me won't you?










Yep, Scotch Tension :-)
Also since Nancy's not spinning much anymore Carla score 3 huge bags of fiber. The biggest yum found - an Indigo Moon batt - merino, alpaca, silk. If you don't hear from me for a couple of days, I'm spinning.
