First, a big Happy 35th Birthday to my younger brother Luke! I hope he has a wonderful day today! :)

Last weekend was full of fiber related stuff. First, I made my felted vessel. Here is the picture.



I really enjoyed this class. I'm hoping that I'll get the chance to make a few more bowls before Rhinebeck, to use as displays.

Sunday was felted fantasy creatures. I hate to say it, but I'm *not* into needle felting. At least not a needle felter for small detailed items. While the head of my mermaid looks kind of cool, I'm just not into making the body. So I'll have another bodiless needle felted head on my shelf.

And this is the nice surprise I found in the nestbox on Tuesday morning.



Samson's Annie gave birth to a litter of 8 babies; 7 were alive when I found them in the nestbox. All seven are doing well, and Annie is being the model mom. These babies were sired by Samson's Merlot, so I'm expecting great coats on these babies.

I've had an incredibly stressful week, so tomorrow I'm taking off to go to Brimfield for the antiques. The show ends on Sunday, and I've never been to it. A friend of mine (Carol) and I are going. If our men don't join us, we'll go by ourselves. I believe that this is the biggest antique show on the east coast, and rumor has it that when you go the last weekend, anything that is left is heavily marked down, or the sellers are willing to bargain. And I do love a good bargain!

The only other thing I've promised myself that I'll do this weekend is knit or spin. It's time to get a new project on the needles (something portable and easy, like socks), and start spinning for a project. What I'll spin, is up in the air, but I need to get back into the fiber groove.
