SPRING IS HERE !

Spring is here!

Phil has officially announced that Spring is here! But... wait....

Lot's of snow, and still falling. So far the power (fingers crossed) is still on.

Off to my work building, the heat is on, and and I'm going to do some wool carding.

Stay warm, and safe everyone!

CHINESE NEW YEAR - PHATFIBER

                                                             
                    After feeding my little friends, I decided to take some time to check out the
                                            January "Chinese New Year" Phatfiber box.

 Indulging myself in an extra large cup of fancy coffee, I began to take each, and every sample out.

 Really enjoying all the rich textures, and bright colors of all the samples on this very cold winter's day.

Thanks to all - who contributed to the "Chinese New Year" Phatfiber box. I really enjoy beginning part of the Phatfiber family.

For more info about the Box go to http://phatfiber.blogspot.com/.

Now off to get some work done and maybe....alittle spinning!

Enjoy the day everyone!

TAKING IT EASY

 Brrrr.... it's cold outside and suppose to be even colder tomorrow. The teens for the next few, then back into the 20's. The bird's are happily eating their seed, outside my window.

Doing a little spindle spinning with some of my bright kettle dyed roving today.

The Box came!  Pic's soon.

PHATFIBER HOLIDAY GIFT EXCHANGE

Those little birds nibble away all day. I started out with 50 lbs. of bird-food. Small seed and black sunflowers, and half of it is gone already. They can really go through it, when you are feeding a lot of birds.

Today was the day that my Phatfiber Holiday Box came. My secret partner was Jessie from http://www.stashenhancement.etsy.com/ . Let's take a  look into the box.

Yummy fiber, and chocolate goodies.

I think my favorite is the BFL braid in red tones,  along with the two smaller green braids they fit right in for the Holiday Season.

Also included was an art batt - from http://www.craftyscientist.com/ - looks like a fun spin. I have some orange merino and sparkles, that I might add to it.

 One of my favorite chocolates - some - LINDT-LINDOR TRUFFLES.

Thank you - Jessie for the wonderful box!

I'm still working on the slippers, and have the second one- half done. Maybe... tonight, I'll get it finished.

Well.... the weekend is almost here. I can't believe how fast, time is flying by! I hope to get some Christmas shopping done this weekend. The last weekend-before the - Christmas Holiday!

Hope everyone has a great weekend, and finishes up their Holiday shopping! 

Hungry Little Birdies

Well... we saw patches of brown and green grass for a few days, but it just... had... to snow... again... late last night. Lot's of heavy snow all night long and into today. I think it has finally stopped - for a while. So Hubby cleared off the railing and fed the birds this morning. I was able to snap a few. They are camera shy, so you have to be sneaky about snapping them. They sure do enjoy their meal from my deck railing and I really enjoy watching them, while I spin.
