A crazy couple of weeks

It has been a really crazy couple of weeks. I have done so much that I haven't even had a chance to stop and take five to make a cuppa and sit down and write a long over due post for my blog. So I shall try and quickly run through everything I have done :)
So I have added another spindle to my monthly spins. This one is using my new Hand Painted Alpaca.
These are some of my new Alpaca and Merino braids that are now available in the shop.
I have started another shawl using my hand spun Alpaca. Click on the Ravelry tab above to see the full details :)
Some more new spindles to join the FWA Family :) The phang at the bottom of the first photo is from a previous round, but was a distraction spin all the same :) The box with the two larg turks and the Merino fluff is for the spinning challenges next month.
I finished a spinning and plying a skein on my wheel, something I haven't done in a while as i have been too busy spindle spinning :)
I have just finished the first spindle spun skein out of my total goal of 5 skeins.
The newest batch of Hand Painted Alpaca braids to celebrate Easter. These are now also available in my shop via the tab above.
 And finally, my first attempt at making fauxlags :) They were very quick to make, very hard to stop, and they do spin up nicely :)
This is where I'm up to with my Bitterroot shawl :) growing quickly now that I've got the hang of it.
And finally I have started and finished a scarf :)

Phew! I'm sure I've missed a couple of things, but hey, I've been busy :) And I have some more yummy new fibres to come in my shop to go with the lovely Bamboo silk and Cotton :) Happy crafting!
