We are on the count down to Cloud 9. We leave in 2 days to prepare for the big family reunion. The hamburgers and hot dogs have been bought. The wine is in the fridge. What more will we need other than the wonderful family to show up?! I'm just really loving this Summer. No work, hang'n with the boys. Lots of spinning and catching up on my reading! I'm reading Lady of the Butterflies, by Fiona Mountain. One of those Costco finds. Its interesting at this point..... Here's a picture of my latest spin.

Boys are all home from Camp

We got the boys home from Camp. They were stinky and dirty and full of fun tales! The joy of boys and camp tales. Dinner was interesting that night with all the stories being told. Next is a big family reunion at Cloud 9. We all can hardly wait. One last big family meeting yesterday at Mom and Dads to finalize the plans.

New Deck at Cloud 9-- Summer 2010

I love Summer :)

Finished Tour De Fleece!

This is what I got for finishing the race! I'm still spinning to catch up on what I didn't get done! YEAH ME!!!

Finished Tour De Fleece!

I finished my first Tour! It was fun and I was inspired by so many wonderful people. I set my sites a bit high for a first timer. Guess next year I'll know better. Here's a picture of my work. I spun the blue BFL/Tussah Silk and plied it with the Green Merino. I spun a vibrant Blue that is BFL/Bamboo that I'm planning to ply with a mystery fiber which is sky blue, thats what I have on my wheel right now. I also spun a pretty pink BFL and plied it with a white baby alpaca and mystery wine colored fiber. I'm so happy with my progress, I can hardly wait to finish what I didn't get done. YEAH ME!!!!

Update on my progress for Tour De Fleece with Ravelry. I have been really spinning away to the point that my knee was hurting last night and I had to re-a-just my position in my chair last night and spin on my toes :) so funny... Better today so I need to keep going .....
