Are the Halls Decked Yet ... ?

All the ornaments are on the tree
- or they were before my 4 yr old and the cat got their paws on it.

Had to include a shot of the ridiculously bedazzled star tree-topper that we have had for 5 years.  The kids think that it's the be-all and end-all of Christmas loveliness.

Our tree is right next to our entertainment center ...
so no - we do not have a stack of presents that reach the top of the tree!
(much to the boys dismay.)

Yay!

Corespun Art Yarn  

Made it into this

"Deep in the Forest" Etsy Treasury!

My little guy did some

of the decorating

and I have to leave you

with this final image.

They faced off -

Stared each 

other down -

Only one can 

be victorious.

- My bet's on Frosty.   ; )

'Tis the Season ...

It's finally a bit chilly here! We've had so much fun setting up the Christmas tree this year with our boys ... they get so excited to look at each and every decoration that comes out of the box. But the seasonal excitement can be exhausting for more then just Mommy I guess.

Knitted this
Santa Hat for
His Cuteness
(aka the
Yarn Slayer)...
seems to be a
nice nightcap too!

Had to express the Joy of Christmas through my spinning wheel too, of course. LoL. I've been LOVING the art batts that my fabulous Best Friend has been producing and selling in her Etsy shop. Visit LushMommy.etsy.com and you'll see just what I mean! Here are 2 of her batts in action!

Whirlwind Fiber Adventures

It's official - Fiber Festivals are fantastic, fun-filled and utterly ... exhausting. It's Wednesday and I've finally unpacked my bins of handspun yarns, scarves, notecards and stitch markers.

What a BLAST! On the 17th, at the Tucson Wool Festival, I set up my first booth ever - kinda life changing in a great way. Then last weekend (the 24th) was the Southwest Fiber Festival. Met lots of new friends and loved every minute of visiting with people who were touching (and purchasing) my yarns in person. : )

I met the awesome Tina aka: ArizonaKnitter (on Etsy and Twitter) and she purchased two of my handspun (including one from my Veggie Twist line of Vegan 100% Bamboo. She mentioned that she is a columnist for the Examiner and that she'd be writing about the Southwest Fiber Festival! How crazy excited I was to get an email from her that linked to this article! With fantastic pictures in a slideshow taken by her hubby. And - if that wasn't enough - pushing me over the edge of thrilled - she linked me to her blog where she posted about the yarns she purchased at the festival! Seriously... I love it. Her blog has all sorts of awesome yarnie-ness and knitting galore!

Tina Rocks. : )

Ready to get my remaining inventory photographed and listed in my Etsy shop.

Here's a little sneak peek!
