A Small Splash of Whine

Today is going to be all about the pics with a small splash of whine thrown in because, well, because I can.

I've been snapping pictures and sharing on my personal accounts all day - because, and I'll be honest, I've been wasting time.

There is a ridiculously long list of things that I have to get finished/started/moved/washed/dried/put-away/logged/knitted/crocheted/tatted/woven and I have accomplished exactly none of them.

I had several lovely excuses all planned out (the planning of said excuses taking a good three or four minutes of all that wasted time):

1 - I had a headache/backache/brain-ache and so I didn't _(insert duty/chore, etc. here)__.

2 - I lost the list and after spending 10 minutes looking for it, decided that was a waste of time and quit searching; so, no more excuses.

BUT, I do have pics!

 
Some lovelies arrived in the mail today:
 

The two balls on the right are going to grow up and be a shaped scarf like the Funky one I posted before.  I haven't yet decided what to do with the other three - they are 50/50 baby alpaca/mulberry silk and score a ridiculous on the luscious scale - they will definitely need to become something simple yet striking to do them justice.

I've begun a long-term personal project that I will update periodically.  It's a Yarn Bomb!  Although, to be fair, it's more of a Yarn Pop Cap at the moment:


Today's item I've decided to feature is definitely a personal favorite.  The amount of beadwork on the shawl was insane - and soooooo worth it - the end result is so lovely:

And, now that the people are streaming in the door from school, and my day off is officially over, I'll leave you with the picture that won the interwebs for me today:
