A Glowing Hot Christmas

I defenitely felt like Santa Bunny this week packing heaps of IxCHeL fibre and yarn surprise packs from last Fridays update! Apart from last minute xmas gifts people wanted me to send out and giftvouchers to make , I now have to make some time to think about what Christmas here at the fibre farm will look like! Can you believe it I have not even set up a Christmas tree. I know !! I used to be really into it when there was snow and it was cold. When I lived in Canada and Wisconsin and Europe it was the perfect Christmas weather. Then my family move dto Texas and it was bye bye Christmas feel: I never got over the shock of celebrating Christmas when it was a hot day! When I finally settled down here in Victoria, although the weather here defenitely has 4 seasons (some of it in one day..lol) it is really summer here when it should be winter: Christmas at 30C temperatures just does not feel right. Especially when every where you go you hear " White Christmas", nope...it's not starting to feel a lot like Christmas when you can run around in tshirts and feel like you need a dip in a pool to cool down. But hey, maybe it's just me. Maybe I have been totally spoilt by the memories of white super cold christmasses when I was young and Santa shows up wearing his big red suit to keep warm. Santa in Australia wears no such thing I'm sure, unless he wants it to be a sauna suit to lose weight.

I was thinking about getting a tree. Not a real one coz that would lose it's "leaves" in 10 seconds flat but something else that can withstand the summer heat and still look wintery. Then I thought , as a Tim Burton nightmare before Christmas fan, why not go totally rogue and go for a black tree (if it has to be plastic might as well go all the way!) and make it a gothic looking christmas tree, but then I thought that tree would possibly still be there in the living room together with all the rest of my Halloween stuff in July, which would totally defeat the purpose of it being a "christmassy feel" ...so all I got at the moment Christmas wise is a couple fo weeping Doctor Who angels and tardis lights...defenitely trying to get in the spirit of things...lol

On the up side: after mulling it over for a year: I finally thought "let's do another hairdo and dye my hair. As a natural dark haired person (I think..it's been too long to remember what my actual colour is..lol) I decided to go pastel something grunge gothic pink. Now I've been dyeing my hair deep red and bright red for 5 years now? yep...from deep red to light dusky gothinc metallic pink wasn't going to happen so now I look like Rudolph the rednosed reindeer with a haircolour that looks like a sunset hit on the Bikini islands at the time of the atomic bomb trials and...i have a family xmas do on this sunday. perfect! They can turn the lights down and I will glow in the dark so everybody can find their drinks..Great !.

My sense of timing is empeccable.

So, here’s my 3rd December fluff offering for you to you: freshly dyed Viva Frida Blend tops ! beautiful to spin and cuddle. A fantastic blend I am very proud to have conjured up with some very "out there" fibres like agave cactus fibres that are softer than you think they are, especially when paired with angora bunny, cashmere! a huge thank you to all of you who support our little fibre farm and support rare breeds and research to save our planet with heart : Big Fluffy Hugs to all ! And, Happy Creating !!!!


Please let me know if you have any questions okay? If you like to order some of what you see here on tonight’s blog, just message me on ravelry or facebook or send me an email. I will get right back to you with all the details. Happy Snaffling !!!!
