I promise I’m keeping up with both shops!

I have not been ignoring Idyll Hands in the wake of the wave of wool that has taken up almost all of my free time!! You see, I’ve listed 2 new items in my jewelry shop tonight and have a few more to list this weekend… and who knows, since I’m out of wool tonight, […]

A new spring dress

Well folks, I think you’re going to start seeing a new look around these parts. I’m ready for something new when I go check out my blog, new colors, new layout, new banner, just new. I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet, but I want to do something. It’s mediocre, at best, right […]

Presenting…

I’m kind of… okay… very excited to announce that I am the featured artist of the week on the AREtsy Street Team (Arkansas Street Team) blog here. I was all giddy when it was posted this evening. You all should read it and stuff… because it’s cool! Today was day 7 in the Yarn Everyday […]

In hindsight

I should have known better. Somehow or another, the organizing/cleaning/redoing of the bedroom turned into spring cleaning the entire house. I’m not quite sure when it happened or why it happened, but I think it might have started when I found some expired salad dressing in the fridge while making out a small shopping list. […]

Betcha didn’t think I could do it…

But I’m still spinning. Day 4 of the Yarn Everyday in April challenge is almost over but I managed to get one done early today. This yarn was spun up from some lovely samples I’ve received in the Phat Fiber boxes. I killed two birds with one stone with this project, I managed to spin […]

A Challenge

I have enjoyed spinning since December of 2007 when my mom gave me a drop spindle for Christmas. If you have followed my blog, then you know I purchased my spinning wheel this past fall. I have spun, spun, and spun some more ever since. I’ve tried to fill my shop and my Holiday craft […]

All In A Day’s Work

I was busy on Saturday. I dyed a lot of roving – I had a count, but I’ve lost it and don’t feel up to counting them again. You can see some of the fruits of my labor above. I was also busy today, but don’t have a product to show for it. I went […]

Discussing Business Cards

Okay peeps – business cards have been tricky for me since I first made some on my computer over a year and a half ago. I’ve struggled with finding what it is that represents me and my shops. My first cards were easy. I picked my favorite font on my computer (Sybil Green – still […]

A Few of my Favorite Things

Not a single day goes by that I am not floored with the talent I find within the internet walls of Etsy. There are amazing artists and crafters all over the place. Some have made me beautiful items, some of helped me when I’ve had questions about new hobbies, but all have just been wonderful. […]

Gardeners Bench? Check.

I think I might have promised you a blog post about why I wasn’t overly thrilled with my day (and evening) spent in San Antonio, but I’ve lost interest. It’s touristy, crowded, and costs a lot to park. That’s basically it. I’d rather talk about gardening tonight. I spent the bulk of this afternoon organizing […]
