Spring snow and a "spunny"

Yes, it snowed last night. Just yesterday we were on a bike ride (27 miles) at this time looking at the scenery (we saw about 30 deer!) enjoying an almost windless day for the first Saturday ride of the year. We rode along the Mississippi River at the dam and the water was really rushing! I'll have to go back and get some photos. Oh well, I look at it as another day to wear a sweater! In the afternoon my friend, Connie, and I rocked the runway at Christopher and Banks modeling some spring clothes. It was fun and we got discounts on clothes. I bought the Boho skirt I wore with my first outfit. It's pretty and very light. Just to show that it really is spring, I have some tulips (my favorite flowers) from Jim. And now there's a new bunny in town--Häschen! He's not a bunny, he's a spunny--a handspun bunny! The owner of The Mother of All shop up in Hinkley gave me 2 ounces of dark brown batt to play with, so I spun it up for a wooly bunny and ended up with enough for two. I made the second one last night. I'll have to felt it today. I did the needle felting during Friendship Friday. What a sweet spunny! The poor snowmen are still waiting for their faces. You'd think today would be the perfect day to fix that!!

Sign of Spring

While it may still be cold and snowy, I have a sure sign of Spring. A new bunny--meet Häschen. He's made of handspun I made over the weekend. In Hinkley is a small shop in a log cabin called Mother of All Fiber Crafts. The owner is so nice and I love to visit her shop. This was a particularly good visit, as I bought a giant flyer and bobbing for Louie! Wow, what a difference! I was able to easily ply continuously and easily. I spun and plied the gray from Joanne, and then I spun and plied the 2 oz. of dark brown batt from MAFC the owner gave me. I may be able to get another bunny or part of a basket out of the rest.
I also finished the lace scarf in time for a memorial tonight. It's so light and airy like an angel's kiss.
Angelika moved out today and Ben comes home tonight, so I have lots to do!
