raven

Photobucket

I'm mostly certain that this raven has a fairy in its mouth. What I'm not certain about is why. You don't think it is going to eat the fairy, do you? I've seen these types of fairies by the river before, usually they are kind that rides on the back of the dragonflies. You don't believe me, do you?

Moments in the morning are spent prepping Alpaca for the evening spin. I've been filling the handcards and dizzing off of them.

This basket usually takes two hours worth of spinning to empty and fills two of the CPW bobbins halfway--which is perfect because when I ply, the third bobbin is filled to the max.

Don't you fret any. I think the Raven has a frog. I would rather think this. A fairy would ride a Raven like an airplane going to and from.

PLEASE! Don't eat the fairies.

Oh my! That does look like a fairy... perhaps she's a dental hygienist?

Enjoy your alpaca!

That definitely looks like a fairy! That basket full of fluffy fiber looks like a dream!

I would love two hours of spinning...heck it wouldn't even have to be alpaca at this point! I have been knitting and hope to finish the smock coat soon...well knittingwise then it needs to be sewn together and there is still a bear in pieces waitin for the same.

I think the humming birds on our Rose of Sharon tree look like fairies! I've gotten behind in reading your wonderful blog...but no worries regarding shipping...
I've actually moved my antique Great Wheel twice before already. It seems to come through just fine. The Canadian Production Wheel has been moved once already with me(no telling where it's been before!)...but the brand new handmade Great Wheel will be on its maiden voyage.

Both my Schacht and Little Gem wheels seem to travel without any trouble. This trip, all the wheels will be shipped and none will ride in my car. Sad, but necessary. Two dogs and two humans and their necessary belongings fill out one Aztek nicely...

what a nice rhythm to the combing and spinning! It isn't often that things work out in such perfect measure. When it does, it's such a gift!

If it's really a fairy, I'm sure that (s)he has a enough guile to dupe the raven.

That Alpaca looks yummy. Have fun spinning.
