A quick check in. I have been very busy going through my bins of fibers and dyeing rovings for the past while. My roving inventory was dwindling as I spun more and more yarn. And I needed colors from which to choose and needed to perk up my inventory. This has kept me out in the dye studio quite a bit. But, as it started warming up and I was getting a taste of summer, I decided to take some time away from working and moseyed over to the great nursery down the road on Mother's Day. Okay, so I got obsessed with succulents. You know, there are so, so many different ones. So every weekend, I have been planting succulents in all the many empty pots I have found around our yard, and I've bought some, too. These are just a few of the 30+ pots I have planted. And, the good news is that I have such a great variety, I can propagate them. Found a great blog on how to do that.

And I used my Mother's Day gift certificate to buy this beautiful book on Indigo.
