OK. So here’s the pictures I promised.

Oh My!  I’ve got a new passion! We went to the Routt National Forest last weekend and took along our new 4-wheeler that my hubby just had to have for moving stuff around on our property. I never knew that anything could be so much fun!  When I was a kid, my Dad had a [...]

That computers and cameras and all that other stuff that is required to get your art out there can eat up more time than making your art!  It’s just sooooo frustrating!

Anyway, here’s my first listing on EBay in a really long time.

So here’s the next few auctions coming. If you want them, post something BEFORE [...]

OK. So now that it’s warm enough to venture out to the glass studio, I’ve been busy making some heart pendants because I HATE cleaning beads. Here’s about half of what I’ve got. I’ll probably list them on EBay for about $15, but you can get them here by emailing me for $12, shipping included. [...]

OK. Well, the picture of beads came out all fuzzy so we’ll skip that for now. But here’s a picture of my latest shawl. Made of 100% superwash merino (so soft), hand dyed, hand spun, hand knit. Thanks to Maggie for modeling for me. Oh, and by the way, I am willing to part with [...]

Well, I’ve been such a slacker so here’s a quick update. Sadly, my dear, dear geeky friend passed away. He will be missed.

I purchased a Spinnolution Bee!  Wee! LOVE it. It’s ratio is super high so I’ve been practicing spinning my lace weight yarn.

I’ve spun several skeins of super yummy yarn on my new wheel.

I [...]

So, I went out to the shop and finished carding the Kid Mohair spinning project. Here’s what it started out as.

I doesn’t look like enough to make anything with, but when you pull the individual curls apart, they really fluff and I’m able to spin it really thin. The yardage will be very interesting on [...]

Well, I got to about Tier 7 on my Forest Path Shawl and found a mistake 2 tiers back. Normally, I’d forgive myself and just move on, but this was a major mistake. I made a triangle where I shouldn’t have. No recovering from that one. I un-knit for a couple of hours, but the [...]

Oh my heart is heavy.  Have you ever met someone that was hard to talk to?  I know a guy like that. I met him about 15 years ago and over the years we’ve become good friends. On the outside he is large, awkward and appears to be uncomfortable. On the inside he is brilliant, [...]

OK. So the proof of concept is underway but more about that later. Today I decided it’s time to block the finished scarves I have laying around.

It’s a snowy day today so I thought I’d let the bunnies run around in their pen for a while. They had so much fun it was tough to [...]
