Plans, Shopping, Lambs and Flowers
Spring is so busy and we have a lot going on. First, even though it is already the 13 of May I have just picked out a piece of felt for my May slow stitch page. It is thin and soft so it will probably need some stabiliser on the back when I am done. There is a little sparkle that the camera is not picking up. I have picked some things to stitch on it but I will keep that for when it’s done.
Also only in the planning is another spiral. I am thinking of using some locks on this one.
Next was shopping. The first fibre show of the year for me was last weekend. Well, if you don’t count the shopping at the spin. It’s called For the Love of Fibre. It’s a small show but lots of great stuff. I picked up a small amount of 2 colours I don’t have, just to have them. What better reason could there be? I am sure Jan will have lots of pictures to show you
and 2 art batts. this first one just screams summer beach and will probably get used as is with a few embellishments.
This one I don’t know. I may deconstruct it and use it in a picture or spin some. I don’t know yet.
And some lovely dark brown Gottland locks because I can’t resist locks. Well, actually, I resisted a lot of locks, despite Jan’s best efforts to get me to pick other colours too.
Next, we have lambs, there are about 20 in the barn and maybe 10-15 sheep waiting to have their lambs. We now have 2 in the house. 2 I showed you Sven and Henna and now we have Jett. Poor Jett. his mom likes him but won’t let him drink. he has sharp teeth or rather he had sharp teeth. We used a fine emery board to gently file them but Mom was not willing to take a chance, so he had to come in. He has only been in a couple of days and hasn’t worked out drinking from a bottle yet. We are working on it.
Here the 3 of them are in their outdoor pen.
And now for some inspiration. Spring is so inspiring. My front yard has very little grass, mostly it has violets. Most are the standard purple ones.
But also some white and purple ones, and some purple speckled ones.
I think the speckled ones are my favourite.
And soon there will be lilacs. I can’t wait to smell them.
I hope your spring is going as well as mine.
