Okay, so I’m not exactly Agatha Christie and it was pretty obvious what was in that box, right?
What? You need proof? Here ya go!
What? You’ve never been excited and celebrated a purchase with a martini before? Blogless Sharon and I decided that a Strauch Finest drum carder was too classy to celebrate with plain old wine, it called for Grey Goose martinis.
Yes, it’s true. Sharon and I purchased a drum carder. Shut up. You knew it was inevitable. And so exciting! I wish you could have heard Sharon. She squealed! She hummed! She practically vibrated with the excitement of carding fiber!
Sharon wasn’t the only one excited by the fiber, either. Mason was beside himself. I think he was high on the lanolin or something because he was literally rolling in the fleece.
So, that’s that. We now own a drum carder. Bring on the fleece!
Oooooooo congratulations!
Excellent! Drum carding is a lot of fun!
Now you’ll have to join my Fleeceforsale list on Yahoogroups. 😉
seething in jealousy over here – I’m gonna drive down and borrow it!
Well, that sounds like a perfect plan…co-owning something like that!!! Too bad I don’t have anyone near me to share in the cost. Congratulations. I’ll be sending you that bit of green stuff I have that needs carding, k? 🙂
Yummy looking martini! Oh yeah. Congrats on the new purchase!!
Ha! I thought the drink came in the box. 😉
Woot! That deserves a martini for sure! Gorgeous…now I’ll have to come over and use it to blend fine fibers… 😉
Definitely a martini worthy moment! Congrats on shared ownership of the carder. I am now officially jealous!
oh yeah baby you know there is drum carder envy. it exists.
I’m not sure I can see past the martini. But then someone just sent me a recipe for gingered bourbon. Looks like you are going to be purchasing tons more fiber to process on your own AND having a good time.
A drum carder, how wonderful! And such a good one too! I can’t wait to see what you create with it.
woo hoo!!! I’m still looking around for the right one – but It’s on my christmas list! Have fun carding!
That is too cute that Mason was in there too! what a cutie! Looks like a fun time – martinis and all 😉
I’ll drive over with mamacate. I don’t have any fleece to bring, but I’m sure she has some to spare.
What a lovely holiday gift to yourselves!
Drum carder! You have a drum carder, you lucky woman! How cool is that?
*clink* Here’s to many happy hours of carding with the drum, pum, pum. ; )
I love, love, love the Cheesecake Factory’s “Well Mannered Dirty” with the big old honking blue cheese stuffed olives. Oh my…
Oh – and yay for drum carders! 🙂
Now, if I had been able to make such an arrangment, I might have kept on spinning 🙂 Congrats to you both, and a toast from afar.
Ooooh, if only I lived nearby…. LOL Nice new drum carder to go with my nice new (something).
You mean the martini’s didn’t come with? Hrmph.
