This and that.

Greetings!!

I am sorry it has been so long since my last post, life has away of getting away from one before they realize it. I cannot believe it is almost February!!  Life has been very busy since my last post so i will try and give you a few updates on what I'm working on now.

My Afternoon Delight socks which I told you about in the previous post ended up getting torn out and set aside the pattern had a few issues and at the time I didn't have the patience to muddle them out. A friend of mine might make them soon so I will see how they turn out for her and maybe i will try them again in the near future.

I have gotten the Juneberry triangle that I was working on almost finished I ran out of yarn so that has also been put on hold for now. It seems like as if quite a few of my recent projects have either been torn apart or have been set aside lately. My sweater I was working on was also not working out right so I took it apart to work on again in a smaller size.


I have been doing quite a bit of spinning lately. I received some roving and a spindle from Turquoise Owl Fibers it is her Galaxy colorway and it is just beautiful! :)


I now have 5 drop spindles and they all have projects on them right now. Here are some pictures of all my projects I am working on right now and a baby hat I just finished today.








This is some lovely merino that was part of a fiber sample bag.

I am spinning it to make a shawl.
This smokey blue is also from the fiber sampler.


It will look very nice next to the grey, I also have a teal that I'm spinning but the color didn't come out right on camera.
This is some lovely merino and tussah silk.

I have no clue what this will be turned into yet.
This was a Christmas present from my parents it is also from Turquoise Owl Fibers.

It is very lovely and I have no idea what I will make with it.
This is the baby hat  I just finished today. 

Of course Kee had to help take pictures of everything. :)

Keyla has been doing much better since I took her in for a shot for her allergies in January. I am hoping to switch her to a raw diet and see if that will help to keep her allergy to corn under control. Right now she is being stubborn and will not eat the raw meat I give her so I  will be doing some research on how to get her switched over to the raw diet. Right now she is busy annoying the dogs and getting all the love she can soak up.

I had to put my dog of ten years down this last year because he was very sick. It  was a hard decision to make but it was necessary as he was suffering a great deal. I was able to get a new puppy on the same day that I said goodbye and that helped a great deal.
Here are some pictures of Luigi. He is a standard poodle mixed with Airedale terrier, he is nine months old right now and weighs around 70 pounds.


Keyla gets along with him quite well. She did have a hard time at first adjusting to the change and saying goodbye.

Well that's all I have for now Lord willing I will be better at blogging in the future lol
