Suzy mixed up a beautiful red and dyed one skein of our new oatmeal heather yarn and four skeins of Cormo. 

 

Anna had to leave to get to work before I got a picture but I’ll snap one on Saturday at Cindy’s house.

Yes, Luckydog, that is the oatmeal and it is such beautiful yarn!!! I’m a little sad that I didn’t do my whole batch that yarn.

It appears that were ever Susan goes good time follows.

Anna May 21, 2009 at 9:39 pm

I’ll bring my yarn on Saturday! I took a few pictures tonight, but by the time I got home, the sun was going down and they came out a little dark. They are currently hanging from a plant hanger in the back yard. I hope the raccoons don’t take them! Maybe I should move them into the guest bathroom for the night….I have sneaky raccoons and possums back there. It was so much fun. I can’t wait to dye some more yarn and soon!!

WOW! Those look great! Psssstttt, Sierra: I like yours the best!

if you think the follow is an attempt to wheedle something out of you, you are right.

i am feeling sad and lonely and left out cus i can’t even make it out to cindy’s. which means i can’t get to meet 2 of my favoritest people! so (do you see my teary eyes, my dolful face, my quivering lip?”
well, i just thought cus i can’t make it , that you, nice lady that you are, might give me a copy of the recipes for the frech toast cassorole and the red white and blue muffins.

well, i just had to try. you guys have fun.

Sara May 22, 2009 at 6:35 am

Aww… I wish I was there! Great job on the colors… Sierra might just have a future career ahead of her!

Jenny May 22, 2009 at 8:30 am

Are you and Carrie TWINS? Or is that really you? So weird!

The skeins look gorgeous and that is just the prettiest little girl I’ve ever seen. :)

It was extremely mean to show that french toast without posting the recipe. Can we expect it anytime soon? Please, please, please, please.
