The last few weeks have been a bit stressful for me. My schedule is all changed around and my husband has had to work way to much and that and a few other things have me fairly cranky and miserable. Things aren't that bad, but it's enough to make me more moody then usual because things aren't how we prefer them around here.

I have received from two very kind souls, what I suppose you could call knitters/spinners gold!

Lovely Alpaca Locks, straight off the alpaca. They smell of lilacs (at-least that's what I think it is) and I love to stick my nose right into the middle of them and feel the softness against my cheeks. It's simply wonderful and I can't wait to try carding it myself, if those carders ever get here! - Thanks Silver!

Next up, from another lovely lady is, ohhhh something I have wanted but hadn't allowed myself to go after just yet. An Ebony Vixen straight from Knitch. I have lusted after this for a while now, and seen a few others get one, which only made me lust after it more! It's soooo neat in person, I can't explain what it is about the vixen but it's simply the neatest little spindle I have ever spun with and the ebony one is just so nice. I nearly completely freaked out when I was told it was mine. I gasped out loud and went, "omg no way!" right while I was sitting in my little cube at work. It certainly brightened my day, and I was just like, wow no way!

I had Knitch send me the last of the Luxe semi solid merino top with the spindle, it's the last of the luxe they had, but rumor has it they are going to get more. I can't even find that stuff on Luxe's site. It's neat roving, and great to spin. It looks like egg yoke.

I wanted to send a big thank you to both of these ladies. There are some amazingly thoughtful people out there in the world, including these two lovely ladies.

(ps, if it's okay to link to you let me know!)
