My last handspun of 2009!
This is from a Twilight (or New Moon? I can’t remember) themed batt by River Poet.
This yarn was spun for White Cloud Alpacas and is from these batts:
and finally, this lovely fiber I received in a swap (it’s corriedale if memory serves…)
The last handspun of 2009!!!
And in parting there is a 20% off storewide sale at the farm store. Just use the code “LC2009” ; it’s good today only.
Can you imagine the batts, hand dyed fiber and yarn I am planning to create using this as my inspiration??
So I have been on Ravelry for quite sometime but I have never really taken advantage of the stash. I am not sure why but as I look at my ever increasing stash I thought it might be a good day to give it a try! I am proud to say I am stashing 5yarns today! (Yeah, I have a lot more…but it’s a start!)
I am very excited to have my website up and running! I am even more excited to have my niece over on Wednesday to help me tweek it! In the meantime here are a few of the goodies you will find:
The new online store is now live!!! There is still tweaking to be done but I would love to hear feedback. (and a few sales wouldn’t hurt either! )
I am spending the next hour or so carding up some batts and they will be in the store tomorrow.
And for all you phatfiber phans here is a sneak peak at the beginning of my January Samples:
Hope you have a great holiday! If you are interested take a peak at the farm blog. Marilla of Moonlight and Laughter just sent me the best Secret Santa package!
As you well know, I love to swap! I received a beautiful package from maiziemama on Ravelry but my internet has been down and I have been unable to post it…
Nice stuff!! Thanks much!
On the crafty side (or actually not so crafty come to think of it) I am spending most of my time attempting to set up my very own online store. Not the easiest thing I have ever done…we’ll leave it at that.
And for my faithful fans….
A moment in history! (Okay that is a bit cheesy) You are viewing a picture of the first bamboo dyed by yours truly! AND…most likely the last…getting this stuff rinsed out is not fun. I prefer to only do un-fun things if I am forced to…
Oh! OH! oh! I am now officially on google wave!!! …..anybody want to tell me how to use it?
It’s been a bit busy round these parts lately…on Monday my daughter’s parrotlet died. We bought her a cockatiel b/c she thought she wanted a bigger bird and her mom bought her a cockatiel (in my defense we were both pretty grief stricken at the time). Anyway to make a long story short we ended up traveling an hour and a half to Lansing to get another parrotlet. We took the new birds to the vet for a post purchase exam only to find out the cockatiel is very sick…so today is the first day this week I haven’t been to the vet (I hope I didn’t just jinx myself)
At any rate I am working diligently on my very own website!! It is totally done and pretty yet so I will share the link later but soon I hope to have everything from both etsy shops moved to the new store :) The yarn pictured about is dyed in the Fright colorway.
And finally, the last and most fabulous part: Swaps!!
This is my loot from the Fibery Goodness Swap on Ravelry:
I am in the process of putting together my Secret Santa package for the phatfiber group and will share pictures of that later.
