Well, I did not get much feedback on my first blog giveaway.......but, I will try it again very soon. I know I have been offline for a while, but I am back on track.

Well, that day job has finally slowed almost to a halt and I have managed to catch up on Etsy orders. Whew! Thank goodness. I am also getting ready for my first fiber festival in a couple of months. I don't have the details yet on... Read Full Story

As a Valentine’s Day gift for my daughter, I decided to attempt to make some heart shaped earrings. Here’s what I came up with:
Items needed:

32 gauge silver wire
Red Seed Beads (about 33 for each earring, plus a few extra just in case)
2 earring hooks
Needle nose pliers

I have recently discovered the art of handspinning........and I am in LOVE! I am a big Etsy promoter, and I buy my spinning supplies exclusively on Etsy. I purchased this bundle of fiber from North Star Alpacas on Etsy. It is a blend of 70% Alpaca and 30% Silk. The Alpaca was a natural fawn color and the silk was dyed red, together the fiber becomes what I refer to as a Dusty Rose color. I absolutely love this fiber. I spun up 2 oz of it already and it made 144 yards of a light worsted... Read Full Story
