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?

Added Macaw 2 and Concord to Etsy. I finished my Christmas shopping today. I have knitted 2 of this and 3 of this since Labor Day (early Sept). Still have to add fringes to the poncho. Must finish before the week is up as it is a Christmas gift. M1 has Viola performance and choir at school on Thursday. Friday is the last day of school for the kids and it's party time for them. I've been listening to viola practice at home for the past weeks and am glad that they will be on break. OK, I better quit gabbing as it's late. Talk later and enjoy the yarns.

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. I am spinning to keep busy as I missed my Grandmother, parents and siblings especially during festivities. We'd normally gather at my Grandmother's house or go to the restaurant for a big meal. Warning - I may disappear again late January as that is when Chinese New Year is. I'm not going to disappear totally - just to spin. Anyway, drum roll, please.........   and enjoy!
