it's THURSDAY!
the days are speeding by!
last night i fell asleep putting the youngins to bed, and woke up with them.
this equals, nothing is getting done.
between the beautiful days (finally!) and these very demanding tots, balance is not something i have found yet.
it can be a downer, not being super mom + having a WAH/DYI biznez. it is crazy!
(pictures of the mayhem to follow...)

one most excellent thing that happened to me yesterday; i went to the little natural foods market down the street, to pick up some quick dinner fixiins (re: annies frozen pizza -----> see above -----> not super mom). one of their freezer units had a malfunction.... bad for them, good for me. cuties were 50% off! i bought all they had left! haha. (frozen corn and peas too... but that isn't chocolaty...) so, YUM! that was truly the highlight of my day. (not a bad one, i must say!)

one of the highlights of my week...........

a lovely parcel of wool from miss hello yarn
ummmmmm, pinky goodness. (among other things!)
and holy wow, i forgot how tough that black roving was to work with.
i think that is why i've been putting off ordering it.
but, i have someone in mind to make some pink and black goodness for, so, i best get on that....
also included were some darling promos from the small object
love, love, love them!

on the suggestion of miss hello, i broke out the stop watch yesterday, to see exactly how long it takes me to make stuff... (ALOT longer than i thought it did!!)
this was my time trail:

choco bliss.
evidently, i need to do some price adjustments on my two ply, fer sure!
a faster, stronger, better wheel wouldn't hurt either tho.
on most of it, especially the smaller stuff, i'm going as fast as my wheel will let me.
not to mention, the 2 ounce bobbins are a drag.
if anyone feels like springing for a birthday present from here! for me, i would NOT object! hah.



since i was taking pictures anyhow, i decided to take photos of my "studio"
*cough*




off to the left we have 'patty' & 'selma' my sewing machine & serger. they see such little use these days.
and plies of yarn...... yarn to be shipped, yarn to be tagged, yarn to be knit with....
in the cracks and crevices, many boxes, boxes of boxes. and my best friend, the #04 box from the usps. i just wish it was a tad bigger, it would be perfect!


more piles of yarn!
all in need of washing, i've gotten in a bad kind of habit, saving all of my yarn (site yarn that is) washing for one day. then i have mondays like last week, when i go to photograph, it is grey and dingy outside.


where most of the "action" happens.. mostly winding, shipping & my wheel lives upthere when not in use... to *try* too keep it away from busy little hands.
(oh! and crappy photo! the sun was peeking in weird and i had to use the contrast thinggie.)



one stash spot...
(the others are far too, er, messy, to be photographed! i need storage solutions!)
huaman, wanna come help with that?


that is all for me! i must get some roving washed so i might actually pull off a site update monday. ha.

survivor & knitting tonight! yay.
