snow snow snow

This is what rolled in last Thursday...


This is what it left...


This is what I did while it happened...
Not exactly one of our top ten storms, but a pretty good one nonetheless. I had to close up the store early and drive home in 2nd gear. It's mostly gone now, as is typical of Colorado. What I don't understand is why this happens every year promptly after the trees and our lilacs bud...now we won't see flowers til June I suppose.

Another kids knitting class! Good times...




And last but not least, here's my little love Zev, with fresh ink :) Isn't he a little heartbreaker?

it's what i do

Just realized it's been, like, a whole month. Wow.
I've been sorta busy...

gift baskets for the store



tea towels for Isaac


spring dress for Zoe


been drum carding like crazy...

been spinning like crazy too...

behold, the alpaca.
it's even softer than it looks...

i spun some other stuff too


taught Zoe how to shoot her gun,
scary how good she is at it...


knitting at the gun range


went to the St. Patrick's Day parade...


look what I found!

Grandpa teaching my daughter bad habits, but wearing the sweater I knit him for Christmas :)


Mary and I went to the Twilight DVD release party at Borders...no need to say it. I'm a dork.


as a testament to the dorkiness, well, isn't this just precious?





Yeah, been busy. In an old lady in her rocking chair knitting sort of way I guess...

If anyone wants to help me card some of this 10lbs of alpaca, let me know. I'm pulling double shifts as it is and I can offer delusional conversation, strawberry margaritas and a little bit o crazy in return :)
