Friday has snuck up on me. I’ve been so busy, the whole week has gone by in a blur.
There has been spinning. Spinning of an unexpected colorway. I’m calling it Spring Bouquet. All I could think of when I was spinning the singles were Easter eggs, but it’s not Easter.

I normally don’t choose pastels, but I couldn’t resist this blend of fiber. It’s 50% alpaca, 30% silk, and 20% merino by From The Wool Room. It was heavenly to spin despite the fact that I kept expecting the Easter bunny to jump out and yell “boo!” at every turn of the wheel.
Once I finished with the pastels, I searched for the antithesis of pastels for my next spinning project.
I came up with this.
100% Superwash Merino - Spirit Trail Fiberworks
I feel like I’m diving into the ocean whenever I work on this. I just love these deeply saturated colors.

It’s also been a great mail week. Since Kris has shown me that she’s got a bigger fiber stash then I do, I’ve decided that I need to catch up with her.
My newest acquisitions from Hungry For Handspun aka the Moonlight Baker.

I don’t think I’ll have a problem catching up with Kris’ stash size. In fact, I might already have done so and more. But pulling out all my fiber and taking a picture might be too traumatizing, so we might never know.
Another acquisition for the week was a gorgeous sock project bag by Cheeky, my Plurk buddy. She just opened her Etsy store this week and I was her first customer!
I couldn’t resist the hot pink kittehs and I’m really impressed with how well it’s sewn.

One last thing. I’ve thrown together a shop blog, so I can blather about what I’m doing for my little endeavor there instead of doing it here. Hopefully I can maintain both blogs without too much trouble.
Happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend. :)
