It was a fairly usual week,
with work, bread baking, , shepherding featuring in it.
This weekend we went to help with the clean up for the Open Air Market which opens April 26th. It was nice to be outside on a fairly warm day, (for a change).
Just to illustrate that it has warmed up we had quite a flock of hummingbirds on the feeder.
This cute little red guy, (a Roufus maybe ?)
Here are two sharing !
And this little green one. I just love watching them.
Anyway I thought I'd share some pictures of some stuff being made this week.
Here are some yarns I've been working on. Some black llama/angora on the drop spindle, some beige llama/angora on the top bobbin and a mix of romney/llama and babydoll on the spinning wheel bobbin.
And here are some rovings I dyed today, just with food colouring but I wanted to experiment with dyeing the rovings I made from a drum carded batt, thanks to Rexanne's UTube vid. http://youtube.com/watch?v=LMEDB9FK2vM.She has some fantastic videos. I learned all kinds of things.
And here are the rovings, which stayed remarkably intact, drying in the sun. I will be able to spin them as soon as they are dry.
For the OLP's today we have black sheep. Here are Pompom and Smartie.
And here is Rolo. He is a little lighter colour than Smartie but still a black sheep.
And in case you were wondering where I got this post title from, you can read about it here.
