Awesome Mail Day!

So I got lots of fun stuff in the mail today. Mostly business related but also a sweet handmade outfit for my sweet Noah. It is so cute! The hat looks a little big for a newborn, so he might just have to wear it separately later. It was a collaboration on the Inspired Congo by Prajna Mama and Cotton Candy. It was up there for a while and was reduced $10 so I snagged it! Anyhow here is a pic of it (taken from the listing).


Also super excited as I got in my latest order of fiber. It includes an 80/20 Merino and Silk blend, vanilla baby alpaca, silver alpaca, and some dark grey Icelandic. I also have some natural brown wools on their way to me as I want to expand my handspun offerings to include "off the sheep" colors. Still have to decide it I want to dye the baby alpaca or just leave it vanilla colored. It is just so pure and yummy as it is.

I am really hoping my new scale gets in tomorrow as I need to weigh out some woolies so I can have them packaged and ready for Saturday. I plan on having more hand-dyed yarn this weekend in fingering weight. It is soaking right now and I am flip-flopping on my colorway choices for it. Also dyed up some more roving this week, including merino, targhee, and corriedale. Really happy with the results and some will become some of my standard colorways.

Jumping back to my personal life, I felt my first real nesting bug today and re-arranged (ok well half re-arranged) Corbin, Noah, and my wools room. I got some storage closets today and set them all up so that the area can become completely child proofed giving Corbin more room to play and just making a more "nursery" like room. It also set off an allergy attack as I uncovered some carpet that hadn't been vacuumed since the cats lived here. Bleh. But I am sure John will like the room and will probably not be happy that I moved it by myself. But when you are motivated you have to take advantage! Now I am tired and am just going to go knit in front of the tv.
