I am not especially happy with this situation. The other computer has died – perhaps due to something about the power cord since it just loses power shortly after turning on. So I am writing at the big computer and I do NOT like it. I am spoiled by sitting outside in the nice cool breeze. And I prefer to write on my lap, which I have just discovered I can do with this, too, why not?
    Well, after swearing off fiber forever yesterday, I still managed to spin up 3 small skeins of the purple/brown stuff. I wound off 2 of them, and will knit the third right from the spool. Wrist warmers? A headband? Something small just so I can see how it comes out.
    Tiny Mousito is still alive and going strong and acts starving every time we go to feed it. It is also getting a bit more rambunctious, scrambles about all over its box. I think it will need an actual cage of some sort soon. It is unbelievably cute and so so so tiny!
   Oh, here’s something exciting: I made another Etsy sale!!!!! I spent quite a long time yesterday putting up a few more things – just skeins.

Boy, it is time consuming. I need to streamline it somehow. For one thing, I take a mazillion photos of each skein, then go through them all to choose the best 4. And fix them all in various ways. If only I could just take one photo and that was that. Then it takes time to write up a blurb for each one. I have saved the blurbs I’ve written so I can use them as a template of some sort, changing details as needed. Today I must go to the po to mail off the purchased skein.
      But first, I can't resist including this little montage of the T-boy and I sharing a treat. Note the drool strand in the 1st photo...
 Ok, it is nearly 9, I’d better get a move on.

I really love the color of your new yarn ;0) It looks like a pair of happy socks to me.

too thick and lumpy for socks - but it makes a nice hat.
