Fleeces and Flurries...

Spring is in the air, or at least it was until this morning. We are in for a wintery mix this weekend. At least shearing season hasn't struck yet, or else we would be rushing to coat up our little sheep. As it is we are trying to keep the new lambs as warm as possible.

On the plus side, it is almost shearing season. That means more lucious fiber is on its way. My fiber stocks are running drastically low. It seems I need to make a run to my friend/fiber supplier's farm to stock up so I can keep my hands busy. I just didn't realize how much roving could be consumed by spinning when I started a few months ago. And I'm sure it will go even faster when I get into rug hooking. I can imagine I will be spinning as fast as I can hook. As for now, I can only dream of that beautiful jet black Shetland fleece I've seen wandering around the barnyard. I can't wait to get my hands on it.




Here are a few felted mice kitty toys I made a while back. They're just so darn cute.
