....and a good time was had by all.

Today I had a group of mademoiselles from my knitting group visiting, and we even had a husband (Maus' DH) show up for a few minutes. Since I've been layed up for the past almost 3 weeks with my bum back, I've been craving some knitterly company. Well, they showed up in full force and with lots of yummy food. Maus and Sabine brought homemade bread, hummus, and baba ganoush. Lisa brought yummy homemade cheesecake and a bag of her private stash of west coast potato chips. Darcie brought homemade rosemary bread that Christy had made (Christy came a little later) and it was still warm! And what else could fabulous Phoebe bring but a fabulous macaroni salad with all kinds of herbs and veggies.



After stuffing ourselves with all the deliciousness it was time to greet the 4-legged friends at our little farm. The horses were petted, the goats were fed (Lisa almost got toppled by a greedy Annabelle), and the llamas graced us with their aloof presence. Of course, we all forgot to bring the cameras outside with us.

Christy finally came after having had her massage, and then it was time for some knitting, spinning and serious cheesecake consumption. I'm sure we all ate enough for about a million weight watcher points, but who's counting anyway?


Here you see Sabine and Maus knitting away.


Darcie is cracking up while Christy is showing off her proficiency as a bunny gynocologist (she is very suggestively stuffing a bunny through the nether orifice, and closing the episiotomy site, after some very funny comments about chocolate covered raisins.


Christy is spinning some yellow roving. She continued on to spin some delicious milk chocolate colored alpaca roving.


Phoebe is knitting along on her new venture; angora edging on denim jackets. We'll all chip in to help her out. The jackets are to be sold later this year along with matching angora scarves and hats. Lisa is rummaging in her purse.

It was 5.30 when the ladies packed up. I hope they all got home safe. The weather turned somewhat nasty this afternoon, with fog and rain. I'm inclined to get a fire going in the fireplace and curl up with my knitting. Sounds like a good idea, non?
