almost out of February

My blog has been sorely neglected......I blame it on the weather.....hibernating and doing this,

lots ( and lots) of  hand spinning.  Here are my Summer Blues for the challenge.

The above is part of the Feb/March challenge in the Jenkins spindle challenge on the Ravelry group.

 

OH Baby

For this challenge we will need to dig out the old photo albums and find a favorite picture of ourselves as a baby/toddler! Once we have made our photo pick, we must pick our fiber to match the photo in some way. Maybe match what we are wearing, or what someone else in the photo is wearing. Match the background or the scenery. Maybe it was taken at the beach and you have fiber with beach in the name…be creative! We will need to make a starting post with our photo and a photo of our fiber stating the connection. Then we just spin!

 

These are the oldest photos I could find.....vintage 1955 and 1956. 

And one more oldie, just because.....  a Sunday outing at Stanley park.

and yes, I do miss them.

We missed many snowfalls but when it did snow we received our fair share....all at once.

And in between the skies provided this.

And for the resident hummers, nothing but the best (well, almost).  A plastic dish lined with thin styro insulation and a shoelace string hanger made an ok holder for the feeder dish.   Only one night was the feeder content frozen solid.   So all was well in their world.   

Lots of other yarn spun as well.  Photos to come.   

And as for winter, please let it be done soon!!! 

Spring is coming......

stay tuned.
