I seem to get old...:o(  I am trying hard to keep up with the pace of life, but somehow I am constantly dragging behind - but perhaps it has just got to do with the autumn season where nature and all creatures outside (and inside...) slow down drasticly as well and prepare for winter. The grass grows much more slowly (thank god for that!!), the trees draw their energy back from the leaves, and all wildlife focuses on stuffing themselves as much as possible, no more running and chasing around, can't afford to lose too much of the precious fat reserves . Perhaps I should do that too, eating and sleeping and eating and sleeping.... I would loooooove to be able to go into a 4-month hibernation cycle, oh wouldn't that be lovely, snoring away while the weather turns really ugly outside...SIGH...

Anyway, I am currently loaded with custom orders, that is why I haven't really displayed much in my online stores lately. I am still working on a beautiful black Alpaca yarn order, I've got 6 BFL rovings to paint in autumn shades for a very lovely lady in Finland, and I received another very interesting custom request a few days ago; 3 skeins of handpainted and handspun Bluefaced Leicester yarn with the colours of a Scottish sunset, oooohhhhh, the fibres are already painted, and as soon as they are ready to come off the drying board I will start spinning those goregous sunset shades into a blend of yellows, oranges, reds and pinks. I am quite excited about this order :o) Once the yarns are finished I will certainly display them on my blog, so others can view them too!

Still, I managed to spare a few hours and paint a very colourful lot of Merino rovings, I think I painted a total of 10, some will be displayed in my ebay store and another 3 will be availble in my Etsy store at www.alltheprettyfibers.etsy.com - the rest I am keeping for my handspun yarn projects :o) Here are the ones I will display in my online stores:

You are very welcome to Visit My eBay Store and my Etsy store for more fibre details :o) I also have some handpainted Bluefaced Leicester rovings which I will display within the next few days. And even though I am really busy with my custom orders I am trying to finish a new handpainted and handspun super soft (yes, SUPER SOFT!!) Bluefaced Leicester/Silk blend yarn design. I just work about an hour per day on it, but I will get there, and I will display it on my blog as soon as it is finished - believe me, it will be absolutely GORGEOUS!!! :o)

Well, have to go and do some spinning. Everyone enjoy the slow pace of life while you can :o)
