Is she or isn't she?

For the last couple of days Too Sexy has been nesting like crazy.  Today she pulled out a lot of hair to add to her nest, which she is building OUTSIDE the nest box.  Silly rabbit did this the last time and then had the bun on the wire.   I was hoping she would change her mind and see how useful a nest box can be.  Now lets hope there are some real bunnies to go with this real nest.

Fayette County Rabbit show

Judge Kevin Bogan going over Bunzilla.

Just checking.  He's a buck!

Long day at the show today.  English Angoras were literally THE last breed to be called to the table.  I am thrilled that the wait was worth it as Bunzilla took best opposite sex of breed acquiring a leg over seniors from the junior class.  He's awesome!

New mittens

Since the cold weather has quite a grip on us in Dayton I decided I needed a new pair of mittens.  I am really stuck on the fiber that comes from my black English Angora Sweetpea for mittens.  I know the colors don't all blend well but I think that's the beauty of natural fiber spun by hand.  This is my third pair and they only get warmer with wear due to some felting.  I get frost bite quite easily but not when I am wearing a pair of Sweetpea mittens.

Black? I think not...

I bought some black fabric dye at JoAnn's and got this indigo blue.  It's a good thing I keep an open mind to the possibilities of colors I might get.  Not even close to black!  But I like it.

Happy Valentine's Day!

In honor of Valentine's day I baked a chocolate cake from scratch.  Enjoy!

Hats!

Sometimes I can be so manic.  There are times I just can't get motivated to do ANYTHING and other times there is no stopping me.  This past week I finished spinning, dying, and knitting these two hats.  The first hat is a skull cap made of 100% angora dyed using pink lemonade Kool-aid.

This hat is 50% angora 50% baby alpaca dyed using walnut hulls I found on the property.  I used a 50/50 blend hoping the hat would have more 'memory' since the brim gets folded up on this one.  Plus, it's for my dad and I don't think he would like walking around wearing a very lofty angora hat- too girly.

Currently, I am working on a scarf which should be finished shortly.  I prefer scarfs, you don't have to worry about how they fit:)

World's most annoying cat

This is Trouble.  I wish I could get a better picture of her but I can't.  Whenever you sit down at the desk you get a face full of Trouble.  I am sitting at the desk TRYING to answer the phone and I get this...



A customer comes in, I get this...



Paperwork to do?  I get this...



Also, she has a fascination with boxes.  Something in the box like the mailer waiting to go out to hundreds of people?  No problem...

Just do this..

Does anyone else have an annoying office mate like Trouble??
