Miscellaneous

Thank you guys for all your warm comments, I'm having a MUCH better day today. :]

I got a bunch of different stuff at Jo-Ann's Winter Warm-Up Sale! I got some felt in SO many different colors. I don't even know what I am going to do with it! I got some fabric on clearance, I'm going to make a messenger bag out of it. I'm so excited. I also got some yarn at Michael's. They are having a sale, too. And that's pretty much it! Have a fantastic day!

Check out my spinning blog!

I've started another blog about a beginner's adventure in spinning and dyeing yarn. Hop on over and say hello!

Welcome to Yarn equals love!

The point of this blog is to share my experiences as a beginner in the world of spinning and dyeing yarn. This is what I've done so far:
  • Bought a spindle off Etsy. (ford4him)
  • Bought 6 ounces of roving wool on Etsy (undyedyarns)
  • Bought 6 bags of Kool-Aid from my local grocery store.
Once the Etsy stuff arrives, I'll do some spinning and post it up here! Keep tuned. :]

Octopus

I made another octopus! :] There are four major differences between this one and my pink octopus.
  1. This time, it's a boy.
  2. He's purplish-blue, not pink.
  3. I used half round eyes for the first time!
  4. He is listed in my etsy, for those of you interested.

On another note, I am planning to start another blog in a couple of weeks about my adventures in yarn spinning and dyeing (those adventures haven't started yet, but it's going to be a beginner's adventure in spinning and dyeing yarn.) So keep your eyes peeled!
