Do you need to smile today? I do! The weather is drizzly and chilly and I want it to be warm and sunny and spring! Thank goodness I have Altered Visions to gaze at on days like these!
Linda has sent in for March and April, and let me tell you, the woman is not afraid of color or luxurious fiber! Just look at that milk fiber she has listed! I can hear my spinning wheel growling in the corner.
Linda is one of the sweetest people, evah! Thank goodness her hubs puts up with fiber flowing all over her dining room or we might not get to sample her artistry.
Well, enough gushing from me- I"ll let you visit her shop and decide for yourself! If you find something you like, post about it below. You'll be entered to win this big, beautiful, "Make me Smile" art batt from Altered Visions. The big drawing will be held on Thursday and your extra twittering, plurks, or other social media networks will get you entered twice! Just let me know you did it :)
Thank you so much Linda, for contributing your gorgeous fiber to the box. We love your enthusiasm for your craft and your exceptional eye for soft fiber and brilliant color combination! Please continue to participate!

I really like the "Mohair Roving and BL cross Dyed Locks COLOR ME FUN". THey remind me of the dolls I played with as a little girl. You really know how to pair your colors!
I rather like the Early Spring Morning milk top.
Oooooh - I REALLY want to win this one. All of her batts are lovely - but "Lovely" is especially lovely :) I love the bright colors - perfect for these rainy, spring days:

I like that "Bright Summer's Day" batt -- but then I have a thing for hot pink and orange together!
I like this-
New SET Mohair Roving 2 oz. and 2 oz. BL cross Dyed Locks COLOR ME FUN 4 oz.

The milk fiber in hot cha cha just speaks to me. I love pink!
I really like the Swamp Monster hand dyed BL cross locks. I've never worked with locks before, but they look interesting.

I really like the Early Spring Morning Milk Fiber top... besides I've always wondered what it would be like to spin with milk fiber

The Bright Summers Day batt is lovely! I also really like Green Eyed Monster and Winter Blues. The textures in her fiber are really interesting.
I'd really like to try the Milk Fiber Top in Early Spring Morning. Gorgeous colors and it looks so soft and silky!
Oh my - I love the Thunderous Night Skies - it's so gorgeous.

Early Spring Morning is my second fav.

the mohair locks are my favorite. The color combos are awesome!
Love the Early Spring Morning milk top, both because of the color, and because it is milk fiber.
My fav is Drum Carded Art Batt My Everything. It's all the lovely colors of Spring and it makes me smile.

I am loving the spring morning milk top! Looks yummy!!
Wow, I really like the drum carded art batt called "Bright Summers' Day." The colors are blended beautifully and it looks like it'd be great fun to spin!
~Lita
The Dyed Mohair Roving called "Dreams of Spring" reminded me of a spring day just after a rain shower. I loved so many things in this shop, I just wish I could go there and run my hands across all the pretties.

I love the drum batt - Giggles. Fun colors. Wish I could have it all!
bright summers and everything bu tthe kitchen sink look wonderfuL! I always love the fun names altered states come up with!
All that I can say is drool, drool over everything. Gayle from Plum Crazy Ranch & Fiber Art
I love all the bright colors and fabulous combinations, but the Faded Canteloupe Art Batt is what grabbed my attention.
I'd love to try out some of her silk noil!
dstj@care2.com
I love the names she gives to all her offerings. They made me giggle. I really liked Goodie Gum Drops and I could really use "A Little Pick Me Up". Also, I have been trying to spin up a bunch of different fibers, so the milk fiber is very tempting.
The Drum Carded Art Batt Black and Blue all Over 2.5 oz. suits my dark mood today. In fact it takes me right out of my dark mood today! I've posted to my blog at http://kitten-with-a-whiplash.blogspot.com/2009/04/off-to-moms-for-short-visit.html
Ooo - I like the Dreams of Spring mohair roving!
Oooh, that Escape to the Islands batch reminds me of a Jimmy Buffett concert!
Jen
I am tempted by her milk tops, especially Early Spring Morning.
Very yummy stuff!
Giggles called to me from the screen and begged to come visit- I'm being strong and referred her to social services. I already have foster yarn kids!
I love all the crazy handspun art yarns!
I love the Sunrise Sunset batt.
I've also mentioned this contest on Twitter, Facebook, and Ravelry!
I really want to win! I'm trying to badly to enable my spinning dreams without breaking my bank...
Will it work this time?
I checked out her shop and love everything there but really like the NEW Milk Fiber Top Red White and Blue 1 oz. It is so beautiful and great fro 4th of july. Tweetering right now as well.
Oooh, I love the first dyed silk noil (they don't seem to have specific names, but they're all gorgeous.)
Milk fiber Red White & Blue. So patriotic! I'll be in DC for 4th of July, so =)
I love the Bright Summers Batt

Love the early spring morning top with the small splashes of red
Wow, that Winter Blues hand carded batt is gorgeous! And the locks all look so great - nice and clean. Beautiful stuff!

Ooh, I've been thinking of trying an art batt to help stretch my comfort zone!
I like The Winter Blues batt, as well as the Black and Blue all Over art batt, and Bright Summers Day art batt...they look so fun!
Do I have to chose? Everything is super delicious. I am, however, intrigued by the milk fiber. What the heck is milk top? Never heard of it.
Milk Fiber isn't even available here in Oz that I have seen!
I am in serious trouble with that Hot Cha Cha colourway....
love LOVE those colours!!
Thanks to you both for sharing such talent with us.
Have tweeted already- but Ravelry is down at the moment! Will keep trying!
I like the simplicity yet interesting variations found in the Faded Cantaloupe batt.
Oooo, I like the Bright Summers art batt!
I love the colors of this one http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23328150
Oooo, the Milk Fiber Top Early Spring Morning! So pretty, such soft colors, and a new fiber type? Awesome.
I love the colors of the Silk Noil. Beautiful.
WoW! I love the handspun yarns. So much color and so much fun! Over the Rainbow... makes me happy just looking at it! The HOT Cha Cha Cha milk fiber... I'm in love. Bright Summer's Day... aaaaahhh! I'm such a fiber-slut for the pinks, yellows, oranges... well all of the colors actually. :)
