Our garden is looking great!!
I still need to plant the green beans and the carrots tomorrow
The corn sprouted over the weekend! I'm so excited about it! Our garden is looking pretty good. Lettuce is growing well, we have spinach, tomatoes, corn, zuccini, cucumbers,jalepeno's, red peppers, and cabbage! Our compost pile is doing well also! I turned it the other day and there was really dirt! tons of worms, bugs and all the good stuff that makes good dirt! So simple, no stink like I was scared of and all natural! I saw a ton of birds eating some bread out of it today. that is fine with me I hope they got full bellies out of the deal!
Also, we did some landscaping stuff and the yard is really coming together I've put in some great pictures to show some of the girls and thier daddy working in the yard. For some reason madelyn insists on eating dirt!!I have to laugh at how madelyn won't crawl on her knees in the dirt. she crawls on her hands and feet. tried to get a good picture but the camera thought it was night time for some crazy reason! these girls love to play in the dirt! but don't dare show lily a worm! She freaks out and refuses to touch it... speaking of which... I found the longest worm EVER today!! it had to be like at least a foot long unstreched. almost snake like! anyways... I am keeping my fingers crossed that the corn pollenates and harvest will be good for us this year!

A few new colorways and joining a new congo!

Alright First off I want to say I am joining a new Congo on HC! I'm joining the Main Street Congo. It's full of really sweet fun ladies and I'm very excited to stock there! Now on to other fun yarn things. I've got some new colorways and just wanted to post some pics of what I've been up to since it's been a bit since I posted a blog. I plan on doing a whole lot of dying and getting some new colorways to stock at the new congo! Also, don't forget to check out Crunchy congo first wed in april were doing an easter egg hunt and there will be some really great prizes!

and the garden is underway!

My sweet husband hand tilled my whole garden area today! so next weekend we will get to start planting! I am planning on having cucumbers, peppers, jalepenos, one pumpkin plant, squash, and some others. The city came and cut down all the trees out of the power lines. so we went ahead and chopped the rest of them down. Normally I'm not one for just cutting trees down for the fun of it but these had to go. our yarn get's no sun with them there! almost all the wood is gone or we have it chopped up and saving it. We'll have firewood for at least a few years! Planning on extending our deck out about 7-10 feet with flagstone and building a firepit in it. will be nice. This picture is jeremy only 1/4 the way started on getting the garden worked up. I can't wait to take a pic of it all done to share! and I really can't wait to reap the benefits!

in my mailbox today!

I am so excited! I got 1.5 kilo's of BFL today! and I got a lb of Certified organic gaia wool that is already almost all skeined out. that stuff is so soft!! I also got a line counter to tell me how many yards I've skeined off. Right now as I speak.. uhum type my wonderful husband is making me a yarn swift so I can get the rest of the yarn skeined out in a timely manner! I will be a dyeing fool all week! My grand opening on the crunchy congo went really well. I almost all sold out. There's still one more skein left of "baby dust" on peruvian wool. If noone buys it though I'll just have to knit it up myself. I sewed lily a dress last night. It's a reversable pinafore dress. It's just adorable! I am going to e making madelyn a matching one and if there is enough fabric left I plan on making my niece a matching one too! Ok back to dyeing.

cutest thing!

I got this adorable headband in the mail today from a wonderful woman. She knew madelyn has no hair so she made this band that you can hook a bow onto! Seriously adorable! I just had to post it! Lily and I also got matching aprons. and Madelyn got a bib that matches our aprons. I couldn't have been more excited going to my mailbox today!
