Looky Looky

I got 2 new pair of shoes. Nikes and New Balance. The 1st pair of Nikes I tried on fit perfectly! They were black and hot pink!! Of course they had every size BUT mine! I'll take a picture of the ones I bought when I where them :)

Here are the New Balance :)
OMG are they comfy. My first pair of this brand.


Also here is a little package I made up for a swap. I made up the cloth pattern and soap sack pattern. I'm thinking the soap sack may be too "holey" though. We'll see. The "scrubbie" was a Japanese pattern. I don't know/speak/read Japanese. It was interesting reading the charts. I'm pleased with how it all came out. The soap sack has some of the yummy soap from Green's down the road. I hope she likes her package. Can't wait to see what she made me.


I'm thinking about coming up with a similar package for my Etsy store. I just need to fine tune it and price it. :)

Etsy Update Day!

I got up with the family like normal.
I did not go back to bed like normal.
I gathered my things and did my fibery update for my online store.
I even put up some handspun yarn I made! The boys talked me into it. I was going to wait until I had more.

Here is group sneak peak of "some" of the things I put in the store.


Now I guess I'll go eat lunch before peaking to see if anyone is looking at my stuff :D

They are growing bigger! Losing fluff, and getting feathers. Here they are snuggling.


One of the Reds tried to jump up on my head... Deven pulled her down and she got her picture taken.


Here are the big mommas taken a look at all the chickies and hoping I drop some baby food.


Yes they are speedy zippy little things now. Flapping their wings all the time! Hmm Where did Nisi, Anona and Vandy go? ;-)


Here is that hand spun I have been working on. It's finally finished! My first 2ply. It varies between worsted and DK. But not drastically. I think its pretty consitant. Flash brightened it up.

I won!

I know I mentioned it already, at least I think I did. About winning 1st place for the "No Brainer Day" Submission on the Texas Etsy Team. The prize was an exclusive ad listing for March with a link to my Esty shop :) THAT is exciting! Here is the ad

More Chicks in the Mail

Monday morning the Post Office called that we had chicks to pick up.
They sent 25!!! And they are cute. We have lost 6 this time. I assume it's normal. I am not calling them back this time. One is getting stepped on right now, so I moved her I really don't want her to die. She is a two tone Polish. This batch has several chicks with hot pink fluff on their heads. Really cool.
