A Peek At My Piggies!

Well, my widdle piggies did head out to market but first they made a stop at the spa for some upkeep and prettifying. As predicted, The Sheep's dire dread of having her feet touched was something of an issue. But we survived without bloodshed (mine and the poor nail technician) and my tootsies are looking hot!

That would be "Pompeii Purple" with a catnip mouse looking on from the background.

In addition to the pedicure, the package included a foot/leg massage and salt scrub so I'm as smooth as a baby's tuchus. Well, from the knees down at any rate. As horrific as I find the whole foot touchin' thing I do so love the look of a well-tended hoof!

Following the spa treatment, my partner in pedicures and I trundled off into the wilds of New Hampshire for shopping and lunch. We hit a used bookstore and "must-haves" were found! Among my purchases were a couple of knitting books and one old quilting book:

Treasures, I tells ya!

Of course, I don't quilt. I've never quilted. I probably won't quilt any time soon. But, for some odd reason, the patterns fascinate me. Order out of chaos fixation or something...

So it is with purple toes and sunburned cheeks that I bid you good night. I have a morning appointment tomorrow so I must hit the hay soon in order that I might actually get up early enough to be only mildly late. I'm looking forward to a free day on Thursday in order to get to some of my more fiber-related stuff. I'd like to finish the last bobbin of corriedale and see if I can't get that plied up. The next fiber is up for grabs, but I'm leaning towards trying some of the cotton sliver that I ordered during the last school vacation and hid away. I've never spun cotton so I'm sure there will be much angst and flinging of niddy noddies.

Great Fun!!
