Hectic Heaven

whats up around here...

I wrote in one of my previous posts about our plum tree blossoming out.   It froze the first night it really bloomed and the little blossoms didnt look so great.. the next night it froze HARD, and the little blossoms turned brown... so I guess we will get no plums this year.....

The hens are up to 4-5 eggs a day now... not to bad since I only have 6.   The snow level got low last night but not down to where I am... although is was pretty cool out....

I have been doing some crocheting and then fulling the bags..they are turning out great.... I found a recipe online for making  a bag out of  a couple of batts (spinning batts) and since I have LOTs of roving I have been giving that a try.... I found a used drum carder and I am hoping it gets mailed soon... The first check I wrote I was in such a hurry that I wrote it wrong... I am hoping the corrected check gets there today and if it by some miracle is sent out tomorrow I will have it in my hot little hands by friday...which is a day off...

I have some lovely gray singles on the wheel right now.. I need to finish plying.... I would like to weave it into a shawl, I might try to rent/borrow a triangle loom and give that a shot... would make a beautiful shawl.   Not much else going on around here.... just working and playing in the fiber...

Sorry about your trees! A late freeze got our fruit trees last year-I'm praying this year will be better! Blessings>faithfarm

I used to love spinning, and I loved the idea and wanted a spinning wheel, but I got sick last year and never got back with it. I love reading about other people doing it though!
