Fitting the Mold

Hi. I’m Erin. I shop at The Gap, love khaki pants, wear dress shoes to work, drive a Honda, eat processed foods, shop at Wal-Mart, don’t wear vintage clothes, don’t have bangs, am not a member of the local roller-derby, consider myself an artist (and will say so instead of dodging the question by sounding […]

All Things New

I figure that last night was a good a night as any to update my blog appearance. I’ve been drawn to blogs with white backgrounds lately so I thought I’d try it out. I also updated my banner last night and I’m kind of in love with it. Next up, buttons at the right instead […]

It’s a Start

I’ve found myself dragging my feet in listing new items in my Etsy shops since, well, since my last update. The Holidays found me lounging on the couch and not really doing the spinning and mass dyeing I though I would. I did manage to squeeze a day of dyeing in this past weekend and […]

All Good Things

My 2 weeks of bliss is coming to a close. It’s been wonderful having 2 weeks to rest, relax, enjoy my time without getting out of my PJs and to just unwind. I thought I would have been refreshed and ready to head back to the office by tomorrow, but I don’t feel that I […]

Two Thousand and Nine

2009 has been an interesting year. It has brought the hardest times for me as well as some of the most hopeful times for me. Time is funny like that. A trending topic on Twitter tonight has left me a bit nostalgic. 10 years ago sounds like eons but when I think about what I […]

It even has a poof

See this hat? I made it tonight. I made it without a pattern. I made it without really knowing how to pick up stitches to finish off the second ear flap. I made it with a poof/pom-pom without ever really having made one, but today I did. I’m feeling quite accomplished. Never mind that I […]

People and being nice

Some people are nice, so very nice. I participated in a Secret Santa Swap with the Phat Fiber Contributors and got my swap package today from Jennifer over at DesertGarden.etsy.com. The package is full of some many lovely things – 2 things of gorgeous fiber batts, a bag to hang on my new spinning wheel, […]

The List Grows

My first art yarn spun on my new wheel… it was easy peasy! Just a quick update about my new Lendrum. I love it. I love it soooo hard. Not only does it spin easily and smoothly, but I can spin coreless corespun yarns (see above) with ease. I could spin a lot of things […]

on to new things

After all is said and done, after I’ve packed up my Farmer’s Market set up for the last time in 2009, after the last Holiday Boutique show has finished, after my last stint pimping my jewelry and yarn to those doing some last minute Holiday shopping, I’ve finally found time for some spinning and fiber […]

It’s mine… all mine!

It’s mine. I bought it. Now I just have to wait for it to get here. I’ll try to wait patiently, but I am not going to make any promises. I’m not gonna lie, watching for the UPS man each day could get ugly. It’s so nice to have finally purchased it. I’ve been spinning […]
