Back to work!

Well, it's that time of year again so......................Back to work. I started back at the Races on the 11Th and finished up today for now. Now it's time to start setting up for the Fair. I hope this year is a good one. I love the theme "Music Mania" but with the economy the way it is, it will be interesting to see how this year goes.

We took the long weekend off, and I am resting up and getting ready to work hard. We had some wonderful Marines help us set up our cabinets and that is going to make things so much easier. I also got a chance to shear a sheep. Isabella is done!! Wahoo. I burned up my shears so we didn't get to do Freckles. I thought my shears were toast, but Hubby took them apart and we just broke some little piece. I am going to see if I can get a replacement part, but have to wait until Tuesday because of the Holiday. Then we can get back to shearing. I guess I could do her with scissors, I have before, but she is so much bigger now and very "woolly"

I am still spinning on the pomegranate and have started some beautiful Corridale I am spinning for Amy. She loves yellow and this is a very golden yellow called "honey". When I am done she can make herself a sweater. It's hot now, but next winter it can keep her warm.

I am knitting a pillow top and bottom from yarn left over from my sweater I made out of Freckles. It is small mitered squares on the front and one big mitered square on the back. I saw it in a magazine and thought it would be pretty. And it is.

Spin on.............................................Sheena
