shop update

Well I finally updated the shop with some cultivated silk and merino tencel rovings. I have a couple more yarns done but have yet to take pictures of them. I still feel kinda yucky until about 5 pm-ish and by then all the good picture taking sunlight is gone. On another note I finished the 24lb roving order for the Loopy Ewe and got it sent off on time, it should be up this week sometime. Yay!

travel, dyeing and rabbits.

Morning sickness (read all day nausia) really sucks and needs to go away! I haven't had the energy to do much of anything. the dishes are piled up and so is the laundry. Babygurl and I went up to Vermillion for an SCA event 2 weekends ago. I got to do some visiting and she got to play with some kids her age.

I got a new respirator, and the dyes (some of them)that I ordered got here last tuesday. On Thursday and Friday I dyed 12 lbs of the 24lb order I have to fill, now I'm still waiting on the rest of the dyes to finish . Hopefully they will be here tomorrow, keep your fingers crossed.

I created a tutorial on how to get your rabbit to like your 2 year old, it's very easy!

Give 2 year old a sliced apple. It gets results.

The main reason for not getting any dyeing done....

I need a new respirator....
I'll get into that more in a minute, first I want to show some pictures. I've been trying to get some of these posted since Christmas!

OK, now back to the reason I need a new respirator. The one I used the last time I was pregnant is covered in plaster gunk and dust from remodeling the Bathroom.

We found out the day after my birthday that goblin-baby #2 should be arriving sometime in September. I have a Dr. appointment on Tuesday and should have more info then.

I need to dye.

I am a little behind schedule on getting dyeing done so I can put new stuff up in the shop. OK so I don't really have a schedule, but I'm starting to feel guilty that I haven't dyed in a while. first there was christmas traveling, then new years and a new bed for Babygurl, Then back up to visit family. I'm home now but our local yarn store is moving to a new building, and I've been helping pack yarn for the past few days.
