It is a wonderful feeling to accomplish so much in one day.  Especially with a VERY busy toddler.  :)  Yesterday was one of those days...  

*4 loads of laundry
*started an 8 pound chicken in the crockpot for dinner and made salad
*made a trip to the post office and Walmart
*watched my nephew, Rocco, for a few hours while his mommy had a dentist appointment
*washed dishes about 4 times
*worked on a knit scarf while watching a movie with Sean
*finished spinning and plying a small skein of turquoise Angora
*cleaned my neighbor's guinea pig
* made a quick trip to the Y in the evening for a workout on the treadmill

Today was a much more laid back day!!  I did my everyday household chores while Kendall watched her PBS shows, then once she took a nap, I worked on my spinning and watched a couple movies.   I'm working on my big Lhasa Apso order, desperately trying to work on it as much as possible and get it finished within the next month.

The other day I finished a 900-yard yarn order for a friend and delivered it.  She was very happy with the yarn and will be knitting a baby set.

Today my neighbor's 16 yo daughter helped me wash and dye 3 batches of alpaca...pale yellow, turquoise and silver-gray.  I have a ton of white to dye, so I plan on using every color I have...which creates many possibilities when it comes to carding!

Well...time to pull out the turquoise, make dinner and spin more!  
Many blessings to you...
