The birthday festivities are rather prolonged in this family because so many people have birthdays near one another. In August there are three, so we wind up having joint parties. This tends to carry out my birthday through the month. We just had the birthday round-up this past weekend.
And I now have a matching ball winder to go with my new yarn swift!
My life is now complete. Kinda. I still need to win the lottery and quit the Day Job. A girl can dream, can’t she?
I’ve yet to wind anything with it as I just got it, but I’m hoping to sometime this week. I have several hanks that need winding.
I rounded off the birthday festivities with some homemade bananas foster iced cream.
You know you want some.
Yum. Really, YUMMMM. You are SO jealous. You know you are. It takes just like bananas foster, right down to the cinnamon and rum (extra rum please). The best part is how easy it is to make.
And as usual, kitty is taking these festivities lying down.
Akshewully, dis iz haw I dew my behst mehditayting
She doesn’t go bonkers for bananas. No, she doesn’t. She might get a kick out of the ball wonder though. I just hope her fur doesn’t.
Yay! Ball winders are awesome. I just have to keep reminding my boys that mine is not a toy.
Of course, when I am actually winding yarn on it, the cat thinks it is his toy. Yarn spinning in circles with little tails whipping around on the swift. What is a poor kitty to do. LOL!
