Pippi has been at here first official show.

The show season has started again, this time I took Pippi with me. We travelled with Merete (kennel T-Bob) and had a nice day, despite that the show club arrange a terrible show. This is the last time I travel to this show club.

The jugde was Leif Lehmann Jørgensen who is from Denmark, I had never showed dogs for him before so therefore I had no idea what hi liked.

Well, to tell the story short, Pippi became Best of Breed. Not bad to get both the Certificate and became Best of Breed :p

Here is me with Pippi when she had won Best of Breed:

first show

The jugde is going to give tell who became Best of BreedBIR og BIM

I also got my first award from Allena, wow.

But I think it is so difficult to just give some blogs award, so therefor I want to give all who reads my blog the award. Why, because when I read your blogs, your all make my day :)

More fiber coming in the mail.

Beth, my secret pal from Fiber Frenzy own The Spinning Loft and when I wanted to buy more of the gorgeous super soft baby alpaca from Handspinners dream it was naturally for me to contact Beth.
I also wanted to try some Karaoke, To Damer had got in Karaoke yarn but it is a little bit to thick for me. Knitting with 4,5 mm ore 5mm is quick, but I wanted thinner yarn so the only solution is to spin it myself.
Then I wonder if she also had some Soysilk and black bamboo from SWTC, I got some more fiber then I was suppose to :P

Since I also Beth about sparkling fiber and silk cocoon my next spinning project, guess who was happy when Beth had put 3 different type of sparkling fiber in the box and some silk cocoon. So know I also have to try degum them.

Here is the fiber:
