Lack of sleep = BATTS

I set up a space heater right next to my carding machine in the fiber prep room and sat in the middle of the night carding away while watching movies and sipping very hot coffee. The results of these long work sessions are some incredible spinning and felting batts.

I will be posting them tonight in my Etsy shop and I hope you find one or more that will have to come to your house to play with. This batt contains Wensleydale Wool, Alpaca, Mohair and Angelina - the pictures just can not do it justice.

I have another late night carding session scheduled tonight because I received two new movies in the mail today - Turn on the heater, switch on the coffee pot - Grace is in the mood to be BATY!!!

Good job, looks lovely.

I think I need to find out what brand of coffee you buy. Short days now by 7 p.m. all I want to do is go to sleep. Projects everywhere, unfinished, mind is willing but body just wants sleep.

I know that feeling - I have tons around me to do but when I have to have this kind of schedule I do those things that are most important and the rest drops by the way side.

Coffee you will laugh but it is decaffinated... So that is not the answer. Sorry!!
