Winter snow storm 12-20-08

Here is pictures from our storm yesterday. Now it was not done when I took these. We got about 6 to 7 inches in all. LOTS of SNOW!! It is supposed to snow again this week. Sun is out today but, the windchill is wicked so I'm inside knitting and fire going!

Here is Star and Speckles playing in the snow. These were right before they went inside. I got them hyper so I could get them playing! LOL~~ Otherwise Speckles wanted to go inside right away.

Star ready to pounce on Speckles! LOL

This was at the very very end. He was telling me it was time t warm up. His poor body was almost covered in the snow. LOL

Running for the door.

following me in the deepest area. LOL~~ He found out fast that foot prints were great!

digging in the snow.

running to go inside. LOL

running to me when called back out into the snow. Nate calls this one Flying Doggy as his ears are just a flapping. LOL

Star posing so pretty.

Dyeing roving!!!

First is this beautiful roving I got from my secret santa on a group from ravelry. Thanks Lindsey!!! Ok, I was taught how to crockpot dye from 2 friends on ravelry and so here is some of my experience this week! This is Targhee pin draft roving from Frene Creak Farms in WI which is AWSOME and my new one stop shop. LOL~~ Anyhow this one was unexpected but, turned out kinda mysterious. I did turkey red, shamrock, and sea Breeze. Now the green took over the pot and you can see a tinge of the red and of coarse can see the green but, not the blue:-( Nate still likes this one so it won't be overdyed.

Here is the same Targhee roving and is dyed turkey red and raspberry shorbert and I LOVE this one!!

Here are the two together.

close up shot of the mystery roving. LOL

Its drying

My first crockpot experience and it was GREAT!! This roving is corridale and is from Frene Creak Farms also:-) Let see, it was dyed with turkey red, sea breeze, deep orchard, and teal. It turned out so good and I will be spinning it as soon as I can grab the Mach 1 spinning wheel from Hubby. LOL

Close ups

drying

Hope you enjoy the pictures of this!! It was a lot of fun and thanks to my rav friends!!!!

this pic is either Dream biting Tori or kissing. LOL~~ I was giving treats and attention and Dream tends to not want Abby and Tori to get more of anything. Its a cute sister pic.

Tori styling in her red jacket. Its a cute pic.

Abby Rose

It was really snowing this day and wanted to get some neat pics. I got them! As you can see the girls are covered in flakes and not sure what to think about this hole winter thing.

Awww look at the sisters!

We already made up the Christmas card before this storm and if we didn't it would have been this picture. Oh well, the one we picked out is a good one also:-)

Its kinda freeky pic but, to cute not to post. As you can see she loves mommy and hands. We play hand games and she's also got the treat thing down except carrots. We have to break them into smaller peices but at least she likes them.

Here is our Christmas Card Pic.
