Makeover

I’m feeling the need for a makeover. No, no, not on my face or in my closet (however, Stacy and Clinton – if you are reading this, What Not to Wear can come to Fayetteville whisk me way whenever it wants to), but with one of my Etsy shops. Woolyhands is where my main focus […]

Ladies Night

Hey Everyone – your fave jewelry and fiber artist will be participating in a boutique… or should I say beaut-ique sale on Thursday, May 28 in Rogers, AR. I will be selling my goods along with a few other local artists and there will be some wine, non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, and massages as well. So […]

We Feast

*pats belly* I’m going to be completely honest with all of you tonight – I ate 4 chicken legs. Yes, 4. That means I’m far too full to even begin to think about something clever to type. In fact, I’m far to full to even feel like sitting up for too long. I’m not sure […]

I’m down…

But I’m not out. After a whirlwind trip to Minneapolis this past weekend to watch my fabulous brother graduate from Law School, I decided to get sick. Yup. It seemed like the most logical thing to do. Hey, I was already exhausted and far behind on life because I had been on the road for […]

Heading North

First, I was preoccupied with me new spinning wheel, second, I’ll be out of town. This week has obviously not been my star blogger week! I’m heading north to Minneapolis on Thursday with my mom to support my brother as he graduates from Law School – yeah, it’s kind of a big deal. To be […]

A New Toy

If I seem preoccupied for the next few days, it’s because I brought home a new baby yesterday. While browsing through Craigslist, I found a spinning wheel for sale. After some research and lots of help from people on Ravelry, I found it was a Mathieson wheel from New Zealand. It came over to NWArkansas […]

I remember now…

Dear Life, Just in case you think you distracted me with thoughts of gardening and trips to Minneapolis for my brother’s Law School graduation, think again. I remembered last night that it wasn’t too long ago that I used to spin at least every other day. You almost got me this time, Life, but I […]

Not the Big Stink

Is it possible to think that washing wool could be my next fiber addiction? I started out last night with foul smelling, bland looking wool and this evening, fabulous, gorgeous wool that smells quite nice (I pick out the good soaps). I keep fondling it – it’s so smooth… so soft… so wonderful! Oh, and […]

In case you don’t already know, unwashed wool/fleece smells like poop. Yup, like poop. Unfortunately, sheep are not animals who pay close attention to their bathing habits and hopefully good things will come from having to put up with the big stink while washing this stuff. Okay, perhaps I’m being a bit unfair. It’s not […]

you will find me out in the garden… but only occasionally. I go through bursts of gardening energy where I’ll spend all week outside and then I’m back indoors for a few weeks. Not sure why it comes and goes like that, but at least it comes. The past couple of weeks have found me […]
