Contest Announcement
Remember yesterday when I told you Chappy had picked a winner for his contest?
Well, he really did. And, while I was concentrating on trying to get a photo of him and the winning number …
He pulled it out of my hand and ATE it!
Seriously, that’s him, chomping away on the little piece of index card that used to read “19.”
Which means that the winner of his Party Invitation contest is Julie, who told a sweet story about how her sister’s Beagle puppy proposed marriage. Well, he proposed it for her now-brother-in-law, but considering how much dogs like having their packs together, Chappy and I both feel it was probably the puppy’s idea. He just needed the money to buy the diamond ring he had on his collar, because puppies are notoriously short on cash.
What did she win? This skein of really lovely yarn spun by yours truly. Seriously, it’s beautiful, and that has nothing to do with the spinning skills (grin). I need to check my archives, though, to figure out what the colorway was called, and what the fiber is, but I don’t think she’ll be disappointed. It’s wool, it’s soft, it’s a beautiful, warm, rosy purple, and it’s just nice. (Okay, I looked it up. I spun it in January–Spunky Eclectic BFL in the color, “Vineyard,” Which you KNOW is hard for me to give up! But, it’s for Chappy’s contest, so, what’s a Mom to do?)
PLUS she gets three of the Indian/Vegetarian cookbooks that I won last April. Because they’re perfectly nice cookbooks but none of us remotely like Indian food (no offense to those of you who do), and they’re just going to waste sitting here. So, Julie, if you don’t like Indian food, tell me, but otherwise they are part of your prize, and I hope you’ll give them the attention they deserve. (I hope you realize how hard it is for me to give up ANY books, whether I use them or not.)
Congratulations! We hope you’ll be very happy (even if, Chappy says, you are a cat-person.) (I’ll need your snail-mail address please.)
This was pretty neat–Women’s World magazine had a two-page spread about Martha’s Vineyard including a nice article about the Martha’s Vineyard Fiber Farm. I’m telling you, Susan is going to take over the world at this rate. Or, at least, the women’s part. (ba-dum-bum. Get it? Women’s World? Okay, never mind. I’m tired.)
Hey–did you know that Interweave’s annual Hurt Book Sale is going on right now?? They’ve always got good stuff, but it goes fast!

Congratulations, Julie! I hope you like those cookbooks!
I did hear about the Interweave book sale. Their servers are totally SLAMMED, though, and I just don’t have the patience to endure page-load times that are measured in geologic time.

Congrats, Julie! I like how Chappy made such efficient use of that card, too.

Um. Are you saying your dog ate your homework? BTW, I love slapstick humor. Great publicity for MVFF.

HI Chappy’s Mom…
Thanks for the applause about my ribbons. We were so happy…and then came home to read about the horrid fire at Cafe Moxie and the Bunch Of Grapes. We are all still sick about it. I know that when something awful happens like this to an Islander, the community surrounds them with love and support. We will help, too.
Funny thing…Ms. Alpha was just thinking of applying for a part time job at the bookstore for the end of summer and fall season.
We will be up there in less than a month and can’t wait to see your sheepies. I’m not sure I can come with the Alpha’s. They are afraid I might be too stimulated by your lovely sheepies and cause great mayhem.
See you soon!

JessaLu’s last blog post..More Spinning…
Congrats to Julie. I remember when you spun up the Vineyard roving. I thing it was during a Satruday spinning visit to your house this past winter/early spring. It is lovely!

I was just waiting for you to say he ATE it! Nice prize. I thought of you when I heard the “Batlle of New Orleans” on XM the other day, LOL
Paula’s last blog post..Madeira Breeze: Crocheting Again
Congrats Julie – looks like really lovely yarn! Atta boy to Chappy for not eating the paper he picked. Now my dogs would have eaten that piece of paper, probably more than one. Paper, tissues, TP – they’re not fussy.

I think Chappy’s been watching Mission Impossible too much. (if at all, but that’s neither here nor there
Congratulations to Julie! That’s a cute story.
Wow, it is a small world.
