Getting back into the flow of things...

I'm trying to get back into the habit of posting every two-three days. So far, so good.


I don't know if I've mentioned this scarf before. It's sooo soft and a beautiful oatmeal color. I actually had a dream about it. There was a car passing by and it got caught in the tailpipe and was pulled from my hands. I know, weird, right? :]


And I (mostly) finished my bag! I want to add a lining, a couple pockets inside, and a flap. So, yeah, mostly finished.


And here's a sneak peak of my "craft table." I have a lot on deck, don't I!
Stay tuned! This Saturday I'm going to have post an interview with a seller on etsy. I hope to make it a weekly thing around here. Sounds fun, right? And to finish this post off...

A picture of my cat on top of my bookshelf!

So I moved my spinning blog to over here...

So I joined my spinning blog to this blog. Meaning you will now see fiber-related posts! :]
I made a spinning wheel out of PVC pipe, an old bicycle rim, clay, string, and a knitting needle. It was easy, and it works decently! Here's a video of it spinning:

As you can see, it wobbles, and it's not as quiet as I'd like it to be, but I don't care!
It spins way faster then a drop spindle. I'm going to make another one, just to perfect the design. Then I want to make one with a treadle & bobbin/flyer.

So I want to start doing interviews of shop owners on etsy! :] Are there any questions you'd like me to ask? Or anyone who you think I should interview?

Miss me much? ;]

Wow, I have not been here in a while! But I have been creating.
Here goes...
I made a knitted clutch! I will be donating the pattern to Phat Fiber, as well as selling it on Ravelry.

I tried my hand at sewing stuffed animals...

I had better stick to crocheting them.

Here are some samples of recycled yarn that I will be listing in my etsy. They are going to be in the "No wool" July Phat Fiber box! :]

I'm so behind in this blogging stuff... and PHAT FIBER!

You know how I mentioned I was making a bag out of t-shirt yarn? Well, I had to frog it. It was turning out too small. So, here's the new improved version!

I'm planning on listing some stuff in my etsy shop... Here's a sneak peek!
