The new photo files got sent off this weekend, and I have all photos in jpeg format here, so occasionally, I will post shots that I know aren't going to make it to publication. These little girls, Zoey and ZeeNa, live together and love, love, love each other. This is the last garment I designed for the book, and I ended up really liking it. I went to my adopted state over the weekend without the Man and Piccolo, and spent Saturday afternoon on a boat in Lake Geneva with old work friends. Saturday night was a big feast, with my contribution being home made pies from a roadside stand on Route 50. I tasted a Cosmopolitan for the first time thanks to my friend Yvette, who sent the appletini mixer home with me. Yum. Now I just need vodka and a cocktail shaker! Sunday morning my mom and I went to Jefferson for the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival. There was shopping for me, eating lamb sandwiches, and watching livestock shows. It's a much smaller event than Michigan. I bought some goodies from the star of the show, Briar Rose Fibers, and I'm itching to get started on these projects, some really cute vests. For one, the yarn is being custom dyed. I've got a hank of Tuscany hanging around my neck as I type this, and the smell is heavenly. I came home from work tonight just dragged out, so tomorrow, I'm going to get started on show preparation hopefully feeling fresh and renewed. I'll wind yarn tonight to prepare it for the machine.

I am THRILLED to see those hard won JPEGs! Those doggies are so sweet -
Can't wait to see what you do with the Briar Rose - help me I'm falling...
Hi:
Briar Rose is my new fiber crack dealer. I bought loads from her in both MI and WI. I drove up Friday with the intention of staying the weekend, but it wasn't at all like MI. I headed home Saturday and stopped at The Fold on the way back.
