Fiber Arts & Farm Friend Friday Phat Batt and Chores

Fiber and chores fill most of my days. Not that doing anything related to fiber is a chore, mind you, it is quite the opposite. That said in order to have fiber from my alpacas I need to do stuff around the barn to ensure my babes are healthy, happy and fed. Chores seem to mount up quickly and on days when I have spent either running errands or running aimlessly around the house from room to room, I realize that my list in the barn is getting longer. This week I promised myself to cross out a few things. I sent out my Phatfiber samplers at the end of last week. April's theme is Butterflies and flutterbys. I chose the butterfly "lienix cinerascens."

And this is my interpretation of the butterfly in fiber form:
and packaging:

And for chores...no words needed.



Umm. Not finished with that one!

    I love the snap shot of your "storage" stall, you'll need mountain climbing gear to tackle that job, lol! The Phat samples are with out a doubt, outstanding, I'm gonna place an advance order because they're gonna fly out of the shop!

    I was thinking about writing about my chores earlier today and how priorities seem to change quite often.

    I like your butterfly interpretation. The colors are beautiful. But I especially like the cocoon on a branch waiting to be turned into something wonderful. :-)
