Ok now really...

I should just be ashamed of myself!*smacks own non bloggin' hands;) Well schools out~*strains of Alice Cooper drift through ....~~~* and this tired Mama has been chilling out and relaxing. Too much. I did finish my shawl, and my sonny is a senior...BUT I haven't gotten my house as organized as I hoped. But its getting there.

Thats my goal...to get this place running like a top and then to get down to some serious fiber business! I'd like July to be allllllllll about relaxing with yarn and fiber! ok ok yes I'll do laundry and bathe, but all the heavy duty cleaning I want it done. So somebody pry my tail outta this chair and tell me to get it done! After all there is a beautiful beach with my name on it, and a basket full o fiber...what more do I need?

Keepin on keepin on!

Ok so I've been knitting this shawl. Its for my daycare provider. She has been taking care of my kids for 13 years now, and is family to me now.( But I have still managed to fit in some time to spin. ) Its a lovely blue. Like a soft beachy color, and its so her. I can't believe my youngest is grauating preschool, and I want this shawl to be done in time to give to her then. I hope she loves it as much as we love her! When I'm done I'll post a pic.

Still twirling from Sheep and wool. The beauty! The lush softness! THE FIBER!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh*Rolls around in a pile of roving...*Ahem..excuse me, sorry about that! I'll be spinning happily this summer!*TEEHEE! I'm getting ready to order a jumbo flyer for my wheel. Blissful!

Anyway, back to the shawl!

Craziness and twirling..

Ok, I've been bad, so very very bad about blogging. I've GOT to get it together! It all started out with a respiratory flu that ended with me popping meds, and using an inhaler. Lovely time, truly. You didn't miss anything.

Then I went FIBER CRAZY and ended up at Mirandas house, and yeah. I dyed some serious fiber. It was the most amazing day, so warm I ended up borrowing a tank top. It was nice. Miranda was sorting fiber to get ready for Maryland Sheep and Wool, and I was out back on the deck dying like mad. I ended up with a roving I named Irises thats my favorite, but I did 5 others! Tween Queen, Moutain stream, lottery, playing in mud and Hot under the collar, yeah I had color therapy alright!

Follow that with Maryland Sheep and Wool, oh I'm a happy fiber junkie! DH is drowning in wool:)

To boot, I finally finished spinning AND plying that dark green wool. I really DO like it, but it is so dark and I NEED LIGHT right now! DH is on the verge of making NO MONEY this summer, but it is all working out. And I have stash for sanity. It is all going to be fine in the end. As long as I have fiber and hope, I can do anything;)

Sunday

Ok after years of having an alternative work schedule I finally understand the monday through friday monday grumps. I SO don't want to go to work in the morning, but I'm going to do it.

I didn't get as much done as I had hoped to this weekend, but I did manage to finish plying a bobbin full of the wool I've been working on for a while...So thats something! Who knows. Alright time to get ready for bed:(

Not enough time...

Ok so all this is my attempt to make myself make more time for ME! All ABOUT ME!!! Ok yeah right! At least to try and document and spend more time spinning and knitting. I've really been unfocused and it bugs me. I *want* to knit my current project but there it sits...I've some beautiful wool begging to be spun...it sits as well,pouting even.

I'm in a place where I'm trying to get control of an out of control too busy new soccer mom with too much on her plate kind of life! Add to that the chronic fatigue syndrome...yeah I'm a perky girl!

So here we go...lets see what i can do to get organized and make some time for fun for me!
