In the busy busy month of May

As May draws to a close in the next hour I thought I would try and do a quick post to sum up the past month.

Most of the month I have been working on this...
It is by far the most difficult thing I have accomplished and I am quite pleased with it. I have now moved on to a top secret project that I can't post here, but hopefully I will be starting a more public project soon!

My piano students recital was this month along with the last Kindermusik class of my first Kindermusik semester. Now after a few days off for Memorial Day week, I have just 3 little weeks left before the end of the school year and my vacation.

This has been a busy month but I'm looking forward to some much needed time off soon.

Finally...

So I am finally posting about my purchases for MDS&W. Being on a tight budget I was not able to make many purchases but this is what I came home to play with!

This is a hand-dyed brilliant blue mohair blend. Really soft!


This is from Brooks Farm, I can't resist that place. This is their Duet Yarn, I figured after buying Primero at the last two festivals I went to, I should branch out and try something new. I think I'm attracted to Mohair...oh and Blue.


This last yarn was purchased for me by my wonderful boyfriend and chauffeur for the day. It is hand spun with flecks of silver in it.

I have no idea what I am going to make with any of this, I have some larger projects I need to put a dent in. Suggestions for this yarn will be taken, thanks!

Maryland Sheep and Wool

We left early to drive down to Maryland Sheep and Wool on Saturday. I was a little too cheery for everyone as I was filled with the excitement of a child on Christmas morning. I had to tone it down for Aimee and Lyndsay; they both had a little too much fun the night before.


Lyndsay made the first purchase of the day from a woman with purple hair. Lyndsay is going to learn to spin with this roving she bought.


We saw lots of great animals. Aimee liked the bunnies!


Lyndsay wanted to pet a sheep, but I'm not sure the sheep wanted to be pet.


After getting tired of looking at livestock and yarn, we decided to take a break and have a picnic in the Geico car.


After more shopping (we went to every vendor, as Matt patiently stood by and consulted on our purchases), we left with some beautiful yarns in beautiful colorways. It was only when we were leaving that we realized that we all bought shades of blue and shades of grey yarn.

It was a long but fun-filled day! We also ran into Frecklemom, and Jess and Casey of course. It was so crowded and busy we didn't get much chance to talk to them.
