New Toy and more......

Well, it's further after the storm, I've gotten in touch with pretty much everyone for whom I had some concern regarding 'ol Ike. All is well, aside from some still with no power and torn up neighborhoods....but all are safe ;-)

I got myself a drum carder! For those of you who are not fiber freaks/artists ;-), you wouldn't know what that is, and frankly, you wouldn't care, lol
I'm already so impressed with it, though I had the chance to try the same model out at the same time that I went up and met my llamas:) I got a Strauch Petite as advised by some friends and ordered it from Copper Moose. It arrived a day earlier than expected and I am happy!!!
I've started just hand brushing my fleeces after washing them and them placing into nice little piles, and can spin from those, but it's so much easier to have something similar to roving/batts, to spin from and that is my first objective...then on to the FUN stuff....blending fancy batts!

And, my DH was just called in to pick up stuff (laptop, ticket....) to go out of town on a job, so I'll be on my own for awhile.....don't know how long, and dadgummit, I have nothing to get me into trouble....LOL

I'll take some pics and post yarns, etc when I get some done.....I am working on spinning up some targhee to dye just now, so have nothing exciting to show you.

Take Care friends, and I hope that none of you had Ike troubles, since that dangedy storm stayed strong clean across half the country!!!

Laters,
Suzanne
