Featured Etsy Seller and blogger

I like this Etsy Seller and Blogger, Create A Thought, shop here , and she blogs here. She creates journals, greeting cards and other items. I have a fondness for journals and cards, when we are so quick to send an email, it is nice to receive a card in the mail, and put your thoughts down on paper, along with some doodles. I like her Art Book Journal Kit It includes everything you need to make a journal yourself or would be a nice gift. Price $10.00 Good for a knitting journal? This Funny Frog Mini Journal is a good size 3x5 I would put it in my purse and have something pretty to scribble my lists in. Price $4.40 She has many more and other interesting items. Take a look.

Kool Aid Dyeing my Handspun

Kool aid dyeing looked so fun. And me with three skeins of handspun. This is the first attempt at spinning and plying on my first wheel, a Lendrum. This was some merino that I purchased at a fiber festival. I bought about 16 oz. my plan was to use this to practice with on my first wheel.  I had no live person to teach me, but many online people , in addition to You Tube. Usually when I have a day off from work I have a long to-do list. Well I still have that list, but decided that today was going to be a fibery day!  After reading some on the internet and asking for some advice, I was off to buy some Kool Aid. I thought I wanted yellow but decided on orange. Right now, I am cooling the water, but I am anxiously waiting to see how it looks! Technorati Tags: Kool Aid Dyeing , Handspun yarn , knit , spin
