cover your head

trying to switch my blog over from mermaid to missa.  let's hope I can do it without making the whole blog disappear.  that would be bad.

in the meantime, here are some quick updates.  I knit this hat from 100% alpaca fiber.  Oh. My. Goodness.  It is the softest, most luxurious thing ever.  And it looks awesome, too.  Soon... soon I will making many, many more of these with my own fiber.  Hopefully I will be getting some fiber tomorrow that I will be able to send in to be processed.  Stay tuned for that!





Let's see, what else.  Oh I went to get peaches off our peach tree in our old yard and all the peaches were gone.  Boo hoo.  I got about 15 peaches.  Still the best peaches IN THE WORLD.  Somebody got lucky this year.  They better have made something wonderful out of them.  So that was a good excuse to come home and make Cody order a peach tree.  Let's have one even better where we are now.  And let's plant it in the back yard this time.  Anyway, I made fruit leather from them and used wax paper instead of parchment, and apparently there's a difference because it all stuck to the paper and I had to throw it away... sparkly tears :*(  I also got a small amount of tomatoes and canned them up for chili this winter.  This is the kitchen in the midst.  It looks like someone got shot.  Not a great canning experience this year all in all.

 This is Chanelle.  She looks like a miniature camel.  She so wants to be loved, but stays just out of reach.
 Here is our littlest farmer.  Probably the best one out of all of us.
