Pastel Caesar 1 & 2

Added Pastel Caesar 1 & 2 this morning. School was delayed today due to last night's freezing rain. The sidewalk was a little icy at school and so is the walkway to the entrance of my house. I can't find the salt. Don't know where hubby puts it. I hope the mailman will not slip later today.
M1's school string (she plays the viola) performance is tomorrow. She wanted to practice last night but the viola is out of tuned. I tried to help & it didn't work. She was upset that she's not able to practice last night and today too. Luckily, the music teacher will tune all string instruments before the performance.
M2 plays a small portable keyboard and this one doesn't has to be tuned. Anyone bought a piano from Craiglist before? Any input?

Warning - Lots of pictures of new yarn

I apologize for taking so long to post pictures of new yarn. I lost my mojo and just kept spinning more yarn.
