Something New


I made 4 sets of 5 stitch markers. They are made of porcelain chips. Each stitch marker is different. I think they are cute. It looks like they will fit knitting needles US 10-6.0mm. I haven't listed them yet on Etsy, but I think I will :)

German Yarn

My Tausendshoen order came in today! and they are pretty! 2 Herbstfeuer and 1 Elfenblume.
The Herbstfeuer is a ton lighter than I expected & they don't match but I am sure I can find a project for them. Maybe even the one I had in mind will still work. :)

My Etsy

There is no update like planned.
I was sick for a week. It has gone from one family member to the next. :( lasting about a week. So far only relapsing on Deven. We had an ER visit with him the other night. Of course my broke tooth and wisdoms being pulled have added to the delays. When this is all over hopefully I will be back on track and dyeing up a storm. I certainly have things to do!

Wisdom Aftermath

All went well. The teeth pulling itself took 30 minutes!!! according to Phillip. Can you believe that?! Today I feel butchered. The swelling is going down, but my mouth doesn't feel like it on the inside. My teeth hurt. My face hurts. When it's not throbbing it stings. The stinging is actually my inside cheeks. I think they are cut or torn. :( The Minty Mouthwash burns too. I think it's an acid that eats away the dead flesh....really! I'm not a happy camper. Sleeping in the living room recliner. I'm afraid I'll roll over in the bed and land on my face. The boys made me laugh last night. That DID hurt, but dang it sure was funny!

It was a wisdom. they say i broke it at the gum line :/ So! tomorrow morning at 8am I will be getting it and the other 3 pulled. Wish me luck. And hope for no seizures. i haven't had one in 2 years.

More Wool!

I have more roving in the house to dye for my Etsy shop! I'm very excited about it. Superwash wool, Merino-Tencel, Wool. MCN (Merino Cashmere Nylon), and Merino-Seacell is on the way. Some of it may be in pieces, and if it is, I'll need to decide whether to dye and sell as is or dye, spin, then sell.

Here is a picture of some Superwash wool I have ready for sale soon. I just need to dye up few more things to go with it!

Swap Time

And they are starting to come in!

I LOVE the big swaps :)You never know what will be in the box/bag. It's like Christmas. And the Secret Swaps are super fun because you don't even know WHO is sending the the stuff to you! Last night I received my Fiber box from Kelly in the SSS group on Ravelry. It was great. Fingerless gloves from yarn she spun! Of course Phillip claimed the quick. He thought I made them for him. I have some similar wool that I have been spinning MUCH thicker.... and he does love the browns and green :)

There were also some more of the wool like the gloves were made from, a white/brown mix, and some pretty red batts. I've never spun from batts before. Lots of tea, cookie mix, a sheep soap (really cute!), stitch markers, sparklie thread, bath bombs, lotion, and some flower seeds for the Spring. All in all a really nice package.

Now I must wait for a yarny one in October from my "Secret Stalker" haha
