Boy Colors Blue & Brown Swirled w/Curls of Red,Black & Yellow

Just had to try out one of my electric carded Batts, a soft pretty blue and brown. Started spinning it with Soft Mohair curls dyed red, black & yellow. What do you think? I think it could make a really cool photo prop baby boy knitted hat with the little curls sticking out. Here's a few photos of the Art Yarn in progress...

The Electric Carder Rocks! :}


So much faster than the hand crank carder, or hand carding with carding brushes! Had some fun heres the pics.... We have a light and a dark batt from Natural Colored Romeny X that are unbelievabley soft, and then some designer batts with Llama,fibers,Angelina,wool and such blended in to give different effects. It was tons of fun to card, now I can't wait to spin them!

I love the soft yummy rovings, and this one is really super soft,  its 80% Alpaca, & 20% wool, absolutely yummy to spin! I'm adding Lincoln Sheep Curls in a natural grey with white tips and touches of pink Llama swirled with a bit of gold thread... quite unique.. :}
Now what to name the new little Art Yarn?

New Gifts from Aunt Grace & Mountain Girl Soap

So Beautiful & Yummy! :} Just opened my package from http://www.mountaingirlsoap.com/ and it smells like summer vacation! Just perfect. Naomi who hand makes the soap also sent me 2 samples to try, an Acai Mangosteen scented soap sample, and a Blackberry Sage scented sample. That was a really thoughtful and sweet gift addition to my purchase, and I'm so glad to try these new scents I wouldn't have thought of trying before. Pop on over to Mountaingirlsoap and try some too!

Also recieved my shipment from "Aunt Grace" at Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/AuntGrace a gorgeous purple blueberry coin purse that zips up so tight no coins can fall out. (I hate having a coin purse that has holes in it.)It is exactly what I needed. Aunt Grace also sent me a gift Market tote with my purse of "matching" blueberry material!! Just have to love companies that send extras!

Ok, have to run along now and try out all my new stuff!! :}
