Black Bunny Fiber Club 2

I have been reading & drooling at pictures of fibers from the first Black Bunny Fiber Club posted on Ravelry and blogs. I'm in the second BBF Club. I read earlier this week that the first installment will be shipping soon. From what I've read and drooled, each member will get their own color and the fiber is the same for all. I can't wait to receive mine.
Thanks, Carol. I'll post picture(s) after I've pet mine.

Pictures of Memorial Weekend activities

We went to the Asian Festival at Franklin Park. After the Asian Festival we spent the rest of the day at the conservatory (located at the same park) to look at butterflies, Koi and Chiluly glass art. There are more pictures at my photostream.

A note about Sari: when you zoom/enlarge the pictures on Etsy, you can see all the sari silk and glitz/angelina sticking about and you may think that this yarn is scratchy/itchy but it's not. I think it's because the batt was triple carded. The yarn is very, very soft.
