SIMPLY STATED : NEVER DULL
See that soup up there? I’ll tell you how to make it later on 🙂 Well here I am, doing a peachy job of maintaining my blog in the new year. What is this… three blog posts since New Years? I seem to do a pretty good job updating my blog when I put my […]
Read More A time during which I maintained my blogAfter many hours of playing with my new light box, I have come up with a series of pictures with this look:I think that’s it! I think Idyllhands has a new look. I purchased the fabric in the background to make pillow cases out of… but I can buy more. I think the combination of […]
Read More In which I REALLY see the lightI’m feeling like Idyll Hands, my first love, needs a fresh new face. I’ve had the jewelry shop open on Etsy since September of 2007 and while changes have happened (branding, photography skills, style), it has not undergone a major change… ever. I’ve decided to shut the shop town temporarily, while I put some thought […]
Read More Everything is on sale!There was something about the way the sun shone into the windows today that created a sort of calm on the west side of the house. The beams of light that were cast across my office and fiber studio warmed me to my toes. It was the perfect afternoon after spending the morning at the […]
Read More AfternoonRemember that yarn I gushed over a while back (see here if you don’t), well, I finally found a project worthy of this yarn. I looked and looked for something I’d wear… a lot. I love hats, but don’t often wear them as I find myself trying to keep my hair looking nice for work. […]
Read More A Finished ObjectA few posts ago I announced that I’d be hosing my first SAL (spin-a-long) for Woolyhands. The turnout has been great and I can’t wait until the spooky batts make it to their new homes and the creations get posted to my Flickr group. The add ins are a lot of fun and these colors […]
Read More Things that go bump in the nightMy mom had a wooden architect table at her house that she used for beading. I loved it since she found it at a garage sale and it was one of those pieces that you wished you would have spied first so you could have claimed it. My siblings and I have started the daunting […]
Read More So OrganizedRaise your hand if you like Halloween? And raise your hand if you like spinning wool? Now raise your hand if you are a fan of a good, old fashion SAL (Spin-a-Long)??? I’m sure many of you have your hand up if not for all of these, at least for one of these. I have […]
Read More Halloween Spin-a-LongLiving in old houses comes with advantages and disadvantages. I could list advantages all day (claw foot tubs, high floor boards, built in telephone shelves, doors with skeleton key holes, etc) but in turn, I could also list disadvantages all day (hot spots in the summer, cold spots in the winter, cracked windows, scary electrical […]
Read More Plumbing – just add it to my resumeThere was much discussion going on between some Fiberistas on Twitter yesterday about spinning wheels. One of my favorite fiberistas, Cloudlover, made a big announcement that she just purchased a Lendrum DT complete (DT stands for double treadle and complete means it comes with all of the fabu stuff you need for big HUGE bobbins […]
