I was just swinging around in a project bag yesterday dreaming of spring when, wouldn't you know, it was a warm sunny day!

There's still plenty of snow on the ground, but it was so warm in the sun. Today totally shook my winter drowsiness.

I can't wait to break out my spring wardrobe and finally go outside and...

Wait, what do you mean it's going to be cold and rainy again? Possibly more snow?? Seriously?

Is it spring yet?

Heehee no, this isn't a talking project bag - it's me, Marshmallow!

Sorry I've been so scarce lately, I don't do well during the winter with all of the snow and cold. I generally find a quiet, warm and preferably fuzzy place to hide and nap. Fortunately everyone is usually busy enough to not notice my absence!

I must say, this project bag is very comfortable. It's much like a hammock, but cozier! I don't suppose people would fit it in very well though.

You'll probably see more of me when it's warmer and greener out. For now, maybe just give me a gentle swinging push?

AHH! - Oh hi! You startled me!

I must have lost track of time, I was just here uhhh, preparing for today's deal and uhh... oh these? These are for Dizz- I mean Fred. Yeah, Fred.

Oh no, I wasn't eating them - of course not! I told myself when I was at the new chocolate tasting bar that these were for someone else, like Fred. Not for me to eat. Nope!

So today we're featuring Berroco Dark Chocolatestone Tweed and... ohh umm, I meant to say - alright I have a secret dark chocolate problem! The darker the better, oh I love the bittersweet goodness.

Ok I'm just going to go over here and give these delicious truffles to Fred. I'm posititive he's inside that janitor's closet over there. I'll... be right back.

Alright, if I just try to... errggh, move my beautiful banner from... arrrrrgg... this table element to the div tag in the header... uggghh!

Ok, so apparently the web code for the Dizzy Sheep site is a little more secure than I thought. Who would have guessed seeing as how Dizzy somehow manages to get into the server "accidentally" all of the wooly time! So my really cool replacement banner is stuck over here in the deal image.

Oh but hey, maybe you can do it! Try clicking and dragging maybe? You know, just kind of pull it over on top of the silly Dizzy Sheep text up there, maybe it will stick? Come on, help ol' Fred out here!

Eh that probably won't work anyway. Fine, I'll have to work some gargoyle magic.

So has it been long enough yet? Can we change the name of the site to the Dizzy Gargoyle? Or better yet, Fred's Fabulous Fiber!

I mean seriously, Dizzy's been gone for over a month and I think it's high time for new branding. He's having lots of fun anyway - eating delicious food, getting massages and attending sports events. How do we know he's even coming back? I doubt I would.

All I'm saying is if he's going to be out living it up for the next several months while I am handling all of the responsibilities here, whose name should be on the top of the page?

Hmm, I guess who's going to stop me from changing it?

There's a lot going on in these three pictures. If you just happened upon them, you might wonder what exactly is going on.

A suave sheep, a mysterious cat, a large coffee and a border crossing...

I think I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions, it's more interesting that way. I am after all, Dizzy, Sheep of Mystery.

I will tell you my stay in Everett was really fun! I never knew hockey was so exciting and I enjoy checking out fresh dyed yarn. I was considering putting in some highlights, but unfortunately my flat, non wooly composition seems to dislike moisture of any kind. I better talk to Fred and see what we can do about that.

Thank you for letting me stay with you! I had a great time.

Wooly hugs and kisses,

Dizzy

Oh and watch out for sparkly vampires...

I never thought much about hockey, but then I was taken to a game during my visit to Everett and wow is it exciting! The Silvertips shut out the Cougars!

Honestly I can barely follow the puck, it flies around so fast. I don't know how the players maneuver so well on the ice either, ice skating is definitely not my forte.

But I had this great idea - it hit me while I was lounging around on a pile of yarn watching the big Winter Olympics game.

What if we changed hockey to be a bit more fuzzy, and called it fuzky!

Wait, hear me out... The way it would work is each team has a yarn stash where the goals are and the other team is trying to skate in and take skeins from their stash.  It's kind of the opposite from hockey, you're trying to keep the skeins in your goal.

It gets even better, the players get to wear really big fuzzy sweaters to soften up those crunching impacts a bit more.

Oh it would be so fun! Yarn flying everywhere, players getting tangled up and trying their best to grab the favorite yarn from the other teams stash...

I can tell, you think I'm crazy. Just wait though, in four years when fuzky is the big game at the next Winter Olympics, you won't think I'm crazy then! How do I call the Olympics to suggest my idea?

I always knew that massages were a good thing. Most people will agree with me, that getting your tense muscles worked is a very relaxing and good feeling.

Not only does it feel good, but I've recently discovered the critical importance of relieving tension on joints, improving circulation and stimulating the lymphatic system, all of which are promoted by massage. And all of these things are so vital, that I truly believe I can no longer work without regular, ahem-daily, massages.

Hey, my two new friends Shaun the Sheep and Farley agree with me! They're lucky to live near a place that specializes in four legged massages. I honestly fear for my health, back home in massage-less East Rochester. BaaAAaa is me...

Ok that came out a bit dramatic, I imagine you probably just rolled your eyes. Maybe I'm getting a little spoiled by my wonderful host families. Is that so wrong though?

I promise to get caught up with posting pictures on Facebook, including many more from fun times in Tacoma. Thank you for taking me to so many special places and feeding me so well! I hope you had a lovely birthday yesterday!

Wooly hugs and kisses,

Dizzy

Now let me tell you about my great idea for hockey...

Alright! If we're done with giant snowmen, the closing of the Ravelympics and any drama from our "head coach", can we please get back to me??

Shiny Space Person wants to hear more about my travels, isn't that right shiny space person? Yes, they have space people in Tacoma. I'm actually in Everett, Washington now, but I'm a few days behind on my updates.

Shiny Space Person and I do want to congratulate all of Team Dizzy on your Ravelympic achievements! I hope you all had fun and I really wanted to throw together a big celebration event for today, but it's kind of hard when I'm on the other side of the country and the "head coach" is claiming all of the victory.

Anyway, everyone on Team Dizzy will be getting a little something special in the not too distant shiny future...

I'd also like to give a special thanks to our team captain, moderator and motivator Quinnspins, and team co-captains Kamcole, Hellskitsch and JodieGirl. Shiny Space Person says you all rock!

Go Team Dizzy!!!
