i had another day of getting lots done and even getting groceries! can you believe it? i am almost caught up on the yarns for orders. i have some to skein up, two fancy ones to spin and ply and i think that gets me back to start some new ones.

i popped into joann’s looking for the teeny christmas garlands that have bulbs and candy and things on em to no avail. i actually walked back out and didn’t buy ANYTHING! and i even had coupons! go me! so, i went to walmart instead of the nice grocery store and target out of shear laziness. we don’t go there so often because the lighting makes me want to have a seizure and the fruit and things like that are not so good. however, they did have good teeny xmas thingies for the yarns, so that was cool. i am keeping them secret, but let me just tell you that i have some REALLY good things up my sleeve. i was looking for red pom-poms and couldn’t find any. what is that all about? i actually might make some for the yarns i am planning. i have cheap red yarn from the giant crocheted stripy sculpture i have sitting here beside the bed, unstuffed and sad (who else makes an adult human sized crocheted sculpture and doesn’t just put the stuffing in already? who? meeeeeeee! anyway, i am excited to get this stuff made.

also, i am excited to get photos of the new fibers i dyed up. really pretty. also, at the request of the yarn yenta, heatherly, i dyed some sam i am sock yarn and have two 4 oz skeins of fingering if anyone wants first dibs. it will be listed in the next day or so. i love the thing 1 colors in it. so good. thanks heather!

it has been unseasonably warm still, not crazy warm, but enough that you could wear a warm sweater and be comfy outside. it started raining a little while ago and i am sure you all know how much i love the sound of the rain. and the smell. so nice.

after i saw izzy’s littermates that one time, i have never seen them again. we have been putting cat food out on the porch and someone is eating it, but we have no idea who. there is a big fluffy black cat that i see in the backyard now and then that might be izzy papa, and a little cat that looks like pavel that i assume is her mama, but we don’t know. jake saw that cat come out from under our porch, but we could be feeding the neighbor’s cat or squirrels or rats. who knows? we put the food out anyway. after i saw the kittens eating out of the garbage, we put food out. jake is good enough to make sure there is always food in the dish and water. when i first found peeps and kahlo, they were eating garbage and it actually hasn’t gotten out of their system 13 years later. they still gobble up their food and eat practically anything, even if it makes them sick. i have noticed that pavel and izzy, who were both raised from bottle, are rather picky. they eat their food and that is mostly it. pavel adores peanut butter, though. so.

i am off to do a bit of work before i go to sleep. photos to-morrow, i promise. oh, and here are some gorgeous gift idea links…
