oooh heavy!
so…
i got this in the mail from my favorite alaskan who is coming thisaway for sheep and wool…what else?
with crazy stuff inside! although, i realized that some of the clip art that i ordered a while ago is copied from this, which i had an odd feeling it was…which is evil! should i tell someone about it? wanna see inside?
and loads of other stuff. i am so excited to use it! wooo hooo! what else did i get? well, domino magazine with some really pretty things. purdy. and then the stuff i swore i would post the other day, there is loads, so go over to the flickr link to check it (before you wreck it) but here is a bit…
a vintage photo of a super unhappy baby, and tons of paper,
ok, not tons, maybe a couple of pounds though, and it is little and thin, so that is lots!
also, i have pulled this handpainted top into pencil roving sized strips for easy spinning singles…
i do this to spin singles most of the time, unless it is really slippery fiber, or it is a batt, i will be putting some up for sale, so if you see some on flickr that you like, contact me before they are gone.
i am so excited for sheep and wool! elizabeth from alaska is coming up next week…holy cow! i am actually now worried about whether she is bringing her wheel or not, we may have another person in the car and two wheels, fiber, 3 people, luggage and all the crap that we buy will not fit in the mazzzzda. it won’t. i need to get another swift of some sort, so i will probably get one there, but i know what they should cost, so don’t try to rip me off! i am not the naive girl i was last year! and if you are looking for mill ends, you better get there early to beat me to the punch. ’nuff said.
i have a potentially big order coming from a store that is opening in july, in georgia, i mentioned it a while ago, and i have to round up samples for them to actually touch and smell(?) ok, i always smell yarn. whatever. laugh. i don’t care. so i am excited about that. and trying to make sure that i have lots of yarn stored up. like the ants and the winter. you know what i mean. right?
there are loads of new photos, so go check me out! ooh yeah!
something else that i cannot remember. shite.
off to do some worky work.
smooch.

That picture of the mad baby made me laugh. It probably hated being all trussed up in that outfit!
This is kind of gross, but I have read that some of those old photos of babies….the babies are actually dead….and they took pictures of them before they buried them..Isn’t that just awful!!!!

cheryl, that is amazing that you have them! i know they did that with babies and kids and adults, as well. to remember them, i guess. you should scan them and put them up. it is amazing how much people loved them to go through the trouble and expense(i am sure photos weren’t cheap back then) to do that. you know?
and carrie, i am not fast, but i fight dirty. so watch out!
