Good Morning to Everyone...
I hope you are all having a lovely week so far.
Mine has been quite nice.
Full of all my favorite things
Family
Friends
&
Fiber
{oh! And lots & lots of tea drinking in the midst of it all}.
On Sunday we got to spend the afternoon
with the 3 baby boys in the family
Parker
My Grandson
Born to my youngest daughter Chelsea
in May of 2014
Eli
My Sister Bridget's Grandson
Born to her youngest son Brendan
in August of 2014
AND
Archer
My Grandson
Born to my oldest daughter Hilary
in September of 2014
{shown here on Scott a.k.a. PaPa's lap}
*Note they are both wearing their Chicago Bears shirts :-)
They are all so CUTE when they get together under the same roof!
Although this happened a few weeks ago now...
I have to show my oldest Grandson
Drew
going to his first homecoming dance
Isn't he handsome?!
He will be 15 in March.
I had to include him in the
Grandson Parade.
Last night our one and only
Granddaughter
Gabby
{Gabriella}
had a Fall Program at school.
She's in the Third Grade.
She's pictured here with Chelsea & Eric.
She spent the night with Grammy and PaPa last night
since there was no school today.
I think you can say she was worn out from the festivities...
Monday morning a yarn shipment arrived,
which always makes me like
a little girl on Christmas morning!
Even when it's to use for a custom order.
Makes no difference...
the Joy is in the
Creating.
The wool had to be wound into these pretty little
Yarn Cakes
I absolutely love this
Tabletop Amish Style Wooden Yarn Swift
that I purchased back in January 2015
from
It's beautifully handmade of
Solid Oak
and has adjustable pegs that move easily
to accommodate hanks of yarn from 36" to 72".
I love the fact that there are
NO hold clips involved.
It has non-skid pads that don't mark my table and it doesn't move
when in use.
It is smooth sailing!
The best yarn swift, by far, that I've ever had! :-)))
So if you're interested
click on the live link
to visit the Etsy Shop
where Ken handcrafts and sells these beauties for
only
$56.00.
Included in the purchase is a
fabulous fabric bag
for storage,
hand sewn by Ken's wife.
It's made of beautiful, sturdy fabric.
Be sure to check Ken's Shop out.
He makes other gorgeous handcrafted wood items,
including
Crochet Hooks
:-)))
As for what I'm doing with this lovely yarn...
Here's your HINT...
No respectable Teapot should ever be Naked.
{I will show you the finished product soon}

We'll see if tea and buns can make the world a better place."
