House Sitting

I've been so fortunate to house sit a lovely home in Carlsbad for the last week and a half.  It's mid-July, and I've worn long pants and long sleeve shirts comfortably!!!  Do you know how novel that is to a desert dweller??

I haven't been idle while house sitting.  I crocheted wine cozies until I ran out of necessary yarn colors (placed a mondo yarn order in the mean time), and have spun eight skeins of BFL extreme thick'n'thin yarn for scarf kits, and four [probably] DK , 2 oz skeins of dark BFL.

Placed my first Ashland Bay ecru account order, too.  The box has arrived and is sitting in my dining area as we speak.  POUNDS of wool to dye and spin.

AND, did I say I'm getting a drum carder for my birthday???  Part of my Ashland Bay order is FireStar, which I can hardly wait to dye and incorporate in my bats.  AND, I placed a fairly large silk order, so I'm gonna have wonderful silk fibers to card into the wool, too.  All I need to order is more Angelina fiber and I'm set!

I came up with the name Angel Clouds for my bats; Kristine of www.StorybookFibers.etsy.com came up with the rest:  Heavenly Fiber Blends.  Isn't that lovely?  Thanks, Miss Kris!

Thursday, AJ of www.PrincessCocoBoutique.etsy.com and I had lunch, then [mostly] window shopped along South Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach.  www.cedrosavenue.com  Had a great time.  Love becoming better acquainted with new friends.

Holy cow - how'd it get so late?  Gotta go to bed.  'Night all!
