Lucky Bunny

To think I was so organised when it came to Christmas….today is just the opposite. All the people who have to celebrate their birthday in the limbo period in between Christmas and New Year surely feel the same way. As a kid it is horrible because all your friends are on holiday and as a grown up it’s not much better: people tend to forget or just totally overlook or are just over the “special day”- thing altogether. Also there is the phenomenon of you getting presents for Xmas AND your birthday together, “because it is easier that way” . If there was anything I could possible change it would be the date of my birthday to a more calm period of the year, say…September or October, even November would do. Unfortunatley you can change everything you want EXCEPT your birthdate…so I’m stuck with the In Limbo birthday.
 I am lucky: I still have a birthday to celebrate, I’m still here, I can celebrate the fact that I am a survivor , that I beat Cancer. Yeah! I know! So...Why not celebrate every single day ? not just a birthDAY, a birthWEEK, not even a birthMONTH..No! let’s celebrate every single day and then start again with new celebrations the next year. Sounds good to me. Let’s just make every day a special one.
If there is one thing that I have learnt , it’s that if you have a smile on your face and you are open to whatever energy comes your way, you will have lots more reasons to celebrate life. Walking around expecting thing to appear by themselves does not work: you have to be the magician of your own celebration.

This year , apart from the fact that I myself am absolutely not organised at all, I have been very lucky: I received gifts, messages  and cards from friends and family, (I am still overwhelmed by the amazing semi precious stone Angel and the Chief Bunny Brooch Fiona sent to me just in time for my birthday), the AWESOME gift of Annet: a years worth of volumes of ARIADNE (a Dutch  craft magazine!! I am going to have so much fun browsing through those 1981 volumes! and you know what? I opened the binder up randomly to...wait for it..... an intarsia BUNNY jumper pattern! ),  a magnificent calendar and a very cute rabbit crossig sign from my sis in law Marg, even Paul went totally out of his way to buy me presents. I have not opened them yet.....so I cannot tell you what it is. Paul is off to work so I am going to wait til he gets home so he can see the look on my face when I destroy the wrapping paper and see what he bought me.

I am lucky. Not only the fact that I am still here –which makes celebrating a birthday so much easier..lol- but also the fact that I have been blessed to know so many caring and loving people who I can proudly call my friends. Thank you all for being there in good and bad times. I celebrate you this year. All the people who have opened their hearts and shared their lives with me: I celebrate you. All the people who have been so amazing to give me their lovingly handmade scarves or shawls, every stitch oozing with passion and love: I celebrate you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart : I celebrate with ....and because of you!

To all: I wish you a wonderful new year, with lots of love and happiness. May all your dreams come true and may every day be a celebration.

On offer this week is a very special batch of amazing Super Magic Bunny Tops: the superfine 17micron merino, cashmere and angora bunny have been blended with hand dyed glitz in gorgeous colours of Tiffany blues with hints of copper and reds and greens. It’s just magical how the light catches the glimmer of the colours dancing in the undyed superfine merino and cashmere and bunny. It spins like a dream and wears beautifully !

A Merry Little Christmas

Normally, around this time of year I go “humbug”, get xmas preparation and xmas shopping stress. Not even to mention the fact that if my ears even have to hear a bar of another Christmas song I will throw a Christmas pudding at the stereo before you can say “Reindeer…”..

Well, not this year…I’m in a Christmas mood, call me deranged. Maybe my good intentions to take it a bit easier on myself are paying off and I am actually looking forward to doing Christmas preparations, got the tree up, the decorations are a blazing, even the presents are waiting impatiently to be opened. No stress, I am even listening to Christmas songs on Spotify…okay, I admit, there may be something wrong with me but on a good note as soon as I hear Rod Stewart trying to croon “merry Christmas”I can’t run fast enough to shut him up…I have my limits…..lol

  It is going to be a simple, quiet little Christmas, just the two of us Paul and me and well all the animals ofcourse…Pauls family Christmas was celebrated in Healesville a week ago and it was a very nice get together, but on Christmas day it is just going to be the two of us, which is quite nice.

I look forward relaxing in the kitchen, already made a Panettone bread just to test ofcourse lol. The raisins have been soaking up brandy for the special icecream pudding. It’s going to be sweet, nice and relaxing: just what both of us need. Well, everybody needs I’d say. Most of the time there is such an expectation, so much pressure…this year, I will have nothing of that. The only expectation I have is to enjoy myself, take it easy and  being with the ones I love, to cook, spin, read and watch a good movie…or two. In short: it's time to be merry, be in a feliz navidad-mood, enjoy and share. It's time to  pack up the stress and throw it in the bin, smile and have a good time.

Bear pretending to be a Xmas Mat….

There are going to be some very exciting things happening in 2013 so I will have to conjure up all the energy for that: Bothwell Spin In being one of them in March! I have never been to Tassie and have heard so much about this once every two year event and finally I am going! About time ! Check out what the Bothwell fibre festival has to offer: it is just awesome: www.bothwellspinin.com.au
I hope you can join the Bunny Caravan going there and have some serious FIBRE FUN! I am going to stay on a bit after the Bothwell event as well and yes, there may even be…dare I say it…extra special Ixchelbunny spinning workshops ! Woohooo! More about all of that next year !

Bunny Hurdles and Good Intentions

Sometimes things just do not seem to go right in so many ways ..instead of a blissful weekend going to Pauls Christmas work party in the city and having a mini mini overnight holiday in a hotel in the city , we had to cancel it all because Jazz our dog seemed to have regressed even more into a fearful, anxious “please do not ever ever leave me “ separation syndrome.
 We have tried everything: training, easing her into a more calm and relaxed dog knowing we will come back, giving her the opportunity to stay with friends and interact with other dogs, we even tried prozac for dogs and pills to calm her anxiety…nothing works…she almost broke her leg trying to jump over the 7foot fence at our friends place just to find us..and we were only gone for an hour…we hate to think what she would get up to when going away for one night. We couldn’t do that to her nor our friends (envisaging a Tasmanian like rage destroying all furbiture before breaking through a concrete wall as Super Anxious Dog on the other side, speeding like a whirlwind down the road in a frantic attempt to find us.. so, what did we do? We stayed home.
It is embarrassing to admit this and it is very petty seeing we do not really want for anything, but I was really really looking forward to this mini holiday: the first in 10 years…petty , I know, but I was distraught, a nervous wreck , angry and well, all in all not in a very good mood.
So what do you know, we get up on Saturday morning, and a dead phone line and no internet…nothing..dead..if there was a word for more dead than dead, that woud be the way to describe our phone line. So, what do you doin the middle of nowhere? You drive 20kms to get mobile phone reception , go into the local library to answer messages and check order statuses before the library closes at 1pm ..being left out in the 37C heat was not making me any happier…so I called our phone and internet supplier EFTEL..talked to several people three times and every tme I got lied to: “oh you better go home, because its fixed”(no it wasn’t), “theres nothing wrong with your phone, go home” , can you plug your phone straight into the wall socket? “(NO, my arms aren’t that long, Im 20kms from home trying to get you guys to fix the problem!”..So what do you get when dealing with these highly trained robotised “support”people in another country? I got even more frustrated than I already was. Paul had already threatened me to stay away from home and not come back before I had calmed down. It wasn’t going to happen…Paul called them as well only to hear “there is a problem but it will be fixed at 5” yeah right , I saidm he just said that because by then his shift would be over and it woud be somebody elses problem…lol in short, at night still nothing so I called , I was calm, collected, the silence before the tornado and earthquake would hit at the same time kind of calm….talked to another person who admitted that there had been no logs of ANY of our phonecalls, at all…! Well, whoopdidooda! Great! Back to square one….finally the problem got logged after threatening them with breach of contract and the ombudsman, which ofcourse is still going to happen, and finally Tuesday morning our phone line and internet was fixed….apparently it was a fault at the exchange of Telstra, which is 500meters down the road from us! Irony!

Also very ironic is the fact that IF Jazz had behaved, we would have been on the town, not even knowing or caring there was a problem at all, we would have had a great time, would have come back Sunday afternoon, okay no phone not a problem, will call Monday…ironic! Isn’t it? I could have handled it better personally I mean. The supplier still needs to lift it game exponentially , but that’s not the point Im tryng to make here. I made my lofe miserable that weekend, because I stressed, and tried to get things fixed immediately which was not going to happen. Some people apparently have weekends…nothing was going to happen.. so why not stay cool, read a book, spn, watch tv, a movie relax, breathe and stay calm? I have to train myself to get there…lots and lots of training…and chamomile tea……I have to try and not go “I have to hurry, there’s a deadline, I HAVE TO do this, I HAVE TO do that, I NEED to do this. What I really need to train myself in, is thinking “Take your time, breathe, have a tea, eat something on time, relax every now and again, change”. It is December after all, the last month of the year..you know that time of the year that you start thinking about what has gone on in the 11 months that have flown by, what roads you have walked or stumbled upon, and what direction you want to go in the new year. So, I think I will just have to sit down, relax, not go a hundred miles an hour and doing ten thousand things at the same time but imagine myself on a beach, with a nice drink in one hand and doing nothings else but relaxing and change my behaviour. The parallel with Jazz misbehaving and being so frantic is actually very much the same as mine. Even before this year is out, to keep my sanity and perspective, I have already made a decision on what I need to do: calm down and enjoy life to the fullest. Things go wrong all the time everywhere, it’s just the way how we deal with them that will make them either a stressful disaster or just a minor glitch in the total scheme of things. …

So, what have I done this week? I have made the most gorgeous new blend again ! I know, I can’t help myself..Apart from getting all the IxCHeL clubs – fibre, yarn, batt and mini skein clubs- ready and shipped this week, I upgraded the Magic bunny tops to Super Magic bunny tops and gave them a nice coat of colour ! I am very happy with how they came out and they feel so soft and magical. Super Magic Bunny Tops are a blend of 60% 17 micron superfine merino, 5% angora bunny, 10% cashmere and 25% glitz. The glitz is not overbearing it is a magical component in this blend that just reflects the light magically and lifts it beautifully. I have added 10% cashmere to the blend because, well, it is just so amazingly soft and adds to the gorgeous drape and awesomeness to this blend.
 

Also, for December I want to offer you a very special  IxCHeL Gift Voucher offer :

IxCHeL Christmas Gift Vouchers

 

Want to give somebody something special and still let them pick out their fav colour or fibre blend? Well, search no more: I offer an IxCHeL gift voucher package that is so hard to resist you even want to buy one for yourself ..lol Here’s the deal:

Bunny Bison Bliss

Today I want to offer you something so special and so amazing it is hard to keep from squee’ing and excitingly jumping up and down. It is alsi hard to put my Malcolm Fielding Tibetan support spindle down spinning our new IxCHeL blend: Bunny Bison Bliss Tops.
The American Bison,, so great that the scientific name for them is Bison bison, is the largest land animal currently living in the Americas and Australia ! (yes you heard right, there are bison in Australia! See this website for more information: http://www.dhtc.com.au/bison.php ) . Enormous herds of bison once occupied the American Great Plains, and were critically important to Native American Plains tribes as sources of meat, hides, horn, bone and sinew. American Bison were hunted close to extinction by white settlers and the American military during the western migration, but they were given protected status and the population rebounded in the second half of the 20th century. There are now substantial populations living in the United States and Canada; all the wild-ranging herds are found in state, provincial and national parks. In addition, there are several herds owned by private ranchers.
As a spinner and weaver I love to play and experiment with all sorts of fibres and the Bison being so close to my heart and heritage, I could not resist to try and design a blend that woud not only do it justice but also excel in its beauty, handle and all over amazing way to spin and use in our fibre art. This new IxCHeL blend is ready to be shown to the world today and I am so proud to say that it is by far the best ever blend I have ever spun with. If you thought that our camelbunny silk is out of this world, think again, this beauty is out if the universe…! It has the following ingredients: Superfine 17micron merino (50%), angora bunny (10%), Bison (15%) Baby Camel (10%) cashmere (5%) and tencel (10%). It spins like a dream! I have managed to spin so fine on my Tibetan Spindle with that blend that it is finer than sewing thread! More importantly, the tops are extremely easy to draft even without pre drafting : it is like butter in your hands so to speak. It holds together beautifully while still open and super super soft. Especially when spinning with a support spindle it is very important to have a very fluffy open easy to draft top to work with. I found that spinning on the support spindles that I prefer to spin with batts or fauxlags. Well, that time has definitely gone! I LOVE spinning with the Bunny Bison Bliss tops! Try it and you will never ever look back. This week I have the natural beauty of the bunny bison bliss tops on offer, but I will have some hand dyed bunny bison bliss available soon. Here are some photos of some gorgeous Bison, the bunny bison bliss blend and the bunny bison bliss yarn in progress:

the spin of the bunny bison bliss tops is amazing !

A Surreal Festive Season

Bear LOVES the Hitchhiker spinning wheel !

Unbelievable but true: it’s almost December ! the last month of the year and filled with holiday….cheer…well depending if you are into Christmas or new year or birthdays (yeah well to top it off it’s my birthday at the end of the year as well…I still think my parents could have timed it a bit better…lol) and ofcourse Sinterklaas !
Okay, I hear you say, who is Sinterklaas? Having spent my early years up until I was about 6 in the Netherlands I could not escape this event and although I spent most of my life in other countries that did not celebrate it at all, I still love it and remember it with a smile on my face.
I started to explain what it was all about to a friend of mine and soon I found out that the explanation of it all was so totally illogical and politically incorrect that I wonder how on earth it is still celebrated in the Netherlands and in parts of Belgium.
 This is the story: There is this guy, a roman catholic saint, who always helped kids…yes let’s not get into that…lol…he arrived in Holland on the 5th of December on a steamship from Spain??? With a load of his helpers who are black and dressed in very colourful harem type pants wearing equally colourful hats with feathers and carrying around a big book where all the names of all the children are mentioned together with the fact if they have been good or naughty. They also carry around a big bag and some twigs , a so called "roe' , to whip the naughty kids with..the very very naughty kids do not get whipped, they get put in the bag and taken away. I have never really understood where the naughty kids got taken, I might have mentally blocked that from my memory…lol.
When you were good and therefore were looking forward to the visit of Sinterklaas and his black Pete or as they are called in Dutch Sinterklaas en zwarte piet….you would put your shoe outside the door and put in a carrot, not for Sinterklaas or Pete , but for his white stallion , some cookies and milk and wait in your bed til Sinterklaas would deliver your goodies through the chimney pipe after thrashing around on the rooftops with his white stallion and his Pete helpers.

it might not be a possum on the roof this time of year ,

it might be a white stallion with a bearded guy and his helper trying to get in your chimney……

 

Now, honestly, marketing wise, I think the church could have done a bit better. If a business was trying to start an event, I’m sure if they would have come up with a similar story it would have been shot down or died a very fast death. Not with Sinterklaas and pete though, they have been terrorising the Dutch countryside for centuries. The thing is , it’s fun, even adults get into it-I mean not whipping kids or putting them in bags or anything like that, but I obviously mean th exchanging of gifts. Unlike Christmas it’s not just the giving of gifts, it somehow got morphed into something much more FUN: you have to write a little funny poem to the recipient, buy a small gift or fun stuff and wrap it in layers and layers and layers of wrapping with or without sticky paper stuff and hard to open the parcel  things. You might get a parcel the size of a house only to discover that you had to read 10 poems out loud , thrawl through 100 layers of sticky paper and gooey stuff, to finally get to your prized gift: a piece of chocolate in the shape of a letter (chocolade letters). It’s fun, it’s social, it’s a great way to take the mickey out of somebody, have a laugh and a great time. I never got put in a bag (which doesn’t mean I was always a good girl..ahem) never got whipped with the “roe”but I still remember those nights with fondness and a big smile on my face. My dad was the worst poem writer of the century but Oh boy, was it an absolute hoot to read what he came up with. If ever there was a holiday that Monty Python would approve of, I’m sure Sinterklaas would be their favourite one….rofl.

An old print of the Sinterklaas feast in a house where the parents arelooking on to a scene where two of their naughty kids get put in a bag and taken away…oh what fun there was to be had…..really? lol an old print out of the book by Schenkman dated 1885

As always, big business recognise a goldmine when they see one, and “slightly” adapted the feast to a more capitalist holy view and by 1906 you can see that instead of putting kids in bags and whipping them into good behaviour like the “good old 1900s” they are now shopping ….

An old print from a book by Callenfels in 1906:
Sinterklaas and his helper are all of a sudden submitted to the torture of shopping..
talk about Karma…lol

Last week I have been working hard on my new upcoming blends that I can hopefully get all done and dyed up for their launch early December ! it’s all very exciting ! In the meantime I have dyed up some great blends you already know and love:; blue faced leivester bunny tops and the famous black bunny tops which are a blend of blue faced Leicester, angora bunny, black bamboo and casmere !

Blue faced Leicester is a wonderful sheeps wool that has a beautiful lustre and is extremely nice to spin. It is stronger than your superfine merino but it is close to skin wear and has a magical bounce to it ! blending it with aangora bunny and cashmere together with black bamboo is awesome to spin and felt with. The black bamboo will deepen your colours when spinning the tops fine but if you choose you can spin them thick and slubby as well which will then give your yarn and amazing swirly look. Anything goes and it’s all fun !
