Hey....Kool Aide!!!!





I finally made the jump to dying yarn. I had some left over handspun merino and I decided to just go for it and dye using the kool aide packs I have been hoarding for about a year. It was as easy as I had been told it would be, and the yarn smells so nice! I can't wait to knit with the yarn. I now am on the hunt for blue and green kool aid!

In other news I had my first ETSY sale!! I sold a set of my dancing bear stitch markers! I am so excited. I just went on and put up all the lovely crochet tops my mom made for the site, and I want to get up some of the pictures of the bags.

My goal for the week is to really work on getting the business side of the business going. You know finding craft shows, getting a tax id number.


The next project I am working on is tie dye skirts and bandanas. Next week I want to spin up the ton of angora I have and try crocheting some beaded necklaces. I want to do this with my mom who is coming for a visit next week. I so can't wait to see her and my aunt. I feel like it has been so long, but really it was just over a month ago!


Need to go put my black garbage bag full of tie dye fabric in ziplocks in the driveway to heat. Oh what the neighbors must think!!

We be Jammin'












Well I have gotten precious litte crafting done in the past 2 weeks. We cancelled our camping trip but the son is still home from camp for 2 weeks and it has been a little hectic. I have also been babysitting for a very good friend while she gets ready for a big doll show. I have a few pics for you of a shirt I made a few weeks back.


I thought you might like to see pics of my craft studio, and I put a picture here of my new favorite pastime, canning. So far I have made strawberry jam and peach butter.


I am looking forward to getting some more bags finished so I can finally get some up on the website.




It has been a long 2 weeks!
