So Organized

My 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 […]

Wish List

There was much discussion going on between some Fiberistas on Twitter yesterday about spinning wheels.

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 […]
