Funk

If you notice that parts of your home smell a bit like a dead animal, chances are, there is a dead animal somewhere in your home. I noticed a funk yesterday when I got home from my sisters. My first thought was something in the kitchen had gone bad. After a small search (it’s a […]

Tah-Dah!

I think getting a spinning wheel was a VERY good thing for me right now. I needed something new to do, a new creative thing to rejuvenate my crafting spirit. My poor jewelry table is very neglected, but I can’t sit there and work on necklaces when I have wool to spin into lovely, lovely […]

And voila!

A new spinning wheel = a new skein of yarn. It’s only 37 yards in length, but it’s lovely, oh so lovely. I’m very pleased with the new wheel (you can get one for yourself at Ford4Him over on Etsy). I’m also quite pleased with spinning on the wheel. I was nervous about sitting down […]

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!

Ready…set…go!

Finally I’ve taken new photographs and even added some new items to my shop. It was long over due. I’m not going to lie when I say that October is going to be hell for me. Work is insanely busy this month with shows and receptions out the yahoo (yes, out the yahoo). Aside from […]

Smells Like…

This afternoon I had the feeling that cooler, fall like weather will soon be knocking on my door (like, on Wednesday – I checked the weather) and cooler, fall like weather calls for baking. Thankfully I had a bunch of overripe bananas just begging to be mushed up into some banana bread. It […]

Christmas Sale Number 1 – check.

A friend of mine has already started her Christmas shopping with a few purchases from my shop and a custom order. I love custom orders. I always have, sometimes I wonder “why on earth did I say I’d do this” but in the end, I love them. This time I didn’t grumble at all. I’ve […]

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!

Update Successful

What? I listed a new item in my Etsy shop tonight? Get out! It has taken me just about FOREVER to get some pictures I liked of some of my new items. By forever I mean at least 3 weeks. They are not exactly my favorite pics, but they will do. Once the sun comes […]

If You Must Know…

my mom (in white) and my siblings (and me!) laughing about something – as we usually do when we’re all together, posing for a pic … and I know you do, or at least, if you are anything like me, then I know you do. My last post was a bit vague, and I apologize […]
