It’s finally here!

Say now – what could possibly be in this box that the post office had for me? Why, it’s my new spinning wheel. Hoorah!

I did it

I finally purchased a spinning wheel this evening. Now I’ll be completely impatient waiting for it to arrive. I have so many wonderful batts to spin up and I’m not sure I’ll make it until it gets here. I’ll explode!

Life Happens

Life has not been full of crafting, cooking or gardening this week. I’ve been busy with other things that life can throw your way. I promise to return to blogging very soon – hopefully with some super pictures taken on my new background. I really appreciate those who have been keeping my family in your […]

On your mark… get set…

GO! In just about 30 minutes I shall begin my 2nd to least favorite part of the craft show hullabaloo and that is the set up process. For 6 Hands (my mom, sister and myself) that involves the following: Wait for person with larger vehicle to come pick you up (usually my mom)Drive to work […]

Advice for an 18 year old

I live in a college town… no, not the college town I went to school in, but a very similar, albeit smaller, town. This time of year brings hoards of students back into town. New students, old students, and students who are just along for the ride. They are all back and I wish I […]

A Few of my Favorite Things

Whether or not you’d like to admit it, the Holidays are just around the corner. In fact, there are only 122 shopping days left until Christmas. This is music to my ears for a few reasons. I love Christmas. I love the family, the spirit of the holiday, the decorations, the baking (oh the baking), […]

Slightly Embarrassed

I must say that I’m slightly embarrassed and completely ashamed that I did not keep up with a garden of any kind this year and didn’t even take pictures of my sad excuse for one. I keep telling myself it is because I knew, deep down inside, that the Sweet Boy and I would be […]

Relaxation

It occurred to me sometime yesterday that I needed to STOP. I hit the ground running after finding out we were getting the new house and had not stopped for a break and it had been almost a month. I had packed, traveled, packed, moved and started to settle in and it had taken its […]

Moving Complete

It’s official, I’m blogging from the new place. Now I can quit talking about moving and start complaining about the mess of stuff in the new place. I don’t think I knew I had as much stuff as I do. I knew the small kitchen at this place would be a challenge since my last […]

One Hundred and Two

My Etsy sales broke 100 today – I’m at 102. Thank you to my mom and sister (I would have NEVER started this if it wasn’t for them), to Sacha who introduced Etsy to me, to AREtsy (you guys are SO supportive) and to my Etsy friends and fans for helping me along during this […]
