Pretty much cute, this is!

My first Felted project, How awesome! Made for a cute little man, Im so glad it fits and covers his little ears!

This weekend Jeff helped me make a warping board. See Dan told you I'd make it! It is for stringing the yarn a certain way so that when you dye it it will make stripes.











Here is my first try... Im really into purple and

greens, reminds me of a grape vinyard.














Here are some Mohair locks, straight from the animal! I was going for a rosebush look with the pink green and brown. Jeff thinks its strange there is animal fur in the kitchen.











I dyed all these rovings and some handspun yarn, yummy!














And last but not least, Jeff asked Lauren to test the pool, but its not quite ready, even though it was a beautiful sunny day, Spring is coming, you can feel it! Happy Birthday Perk!

Snatched bald and silk

Hello all, since Jeff's bday I have been doing lots of random things.


Actually this is before his birthday, during superbowl. Riley decided to be Danny's (aka Ortiz) best friend and kept by his side all day. Its kinda cute because 1. Danny tolerated his huge chewbaca affection, and 2. Riley rarely warms up to people this way (except for Grandma Robin and Woman).
























Cheryl from my knitting group invited me to her Weavers and Spinners guild meeting where they had a spin-in and it was really fun, I got to see Sandy (Sandyspinslace) and a few others I had met at their show in October. They had samples of fiber some not processed. I got to learn how they comb and drum card it, it was exciting.

Camel

Camel and Mohair, I learned how to prepare with cards, but I used dog brushes, very easy to use because of the size

Here is a drum carder from the meeting

Lauren and Riley got snatched bald, and they shaved Lauren's tail, I wasnt so happy about that. Now it looks like a rat tail!

I also made this to felt here it is before

And After:

Yea see that! I grabbed the wrong ball of Noro, SILK DOES NOT FELT. But it washes beautifully. (great) Back to the drawing board.

Lauren and Riley have also discovered the Joy of Peeps. (Dogs are the only ones who should eat them anyways!)

Easter here we come!

We would also like to send our thoughts and prayers to the Rettig and Ferrell family during this difficult time.

- Danni and Lauren

Happy Birthday Jeff!
