It's snowing

Just Kidding......... but this is a cool website you can make your own snowflake!

I've Done It Again!!!

I'm not sure what comes over me when I see fiber related equipment and supplies in sale ads. It's like a sickness with me. I hear little voices that say "You really need that", "Buy Me!". Does that happen to any of you? I recently asked a group of friends if there was a 12 step program for this? They weren't much help, ENABLERS!!!! So I will soon have a new Knitting machine to add to my room. Man that room is shrinking!!
When the new addition to our family arrives I'll post pictures!!! Hmm now to name the new addition. I have Stella the garter carriage, Sophia the loom, Doodle (current machine) maybe Tillie for the new machine? :-)
Decisions, Decisions. I'm not sure I had this much trouble naming my kids!

What do Dreams Mean?????

I had a dream...... sound familar? Well, my dream was a little different. I have a cyber friend that I've been chatting with for some time. We've talked many times about how much trouble we could get into if we lived closer to each other. Last night I had a dream that when I got home from work she was sitting in my kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!!! I woke up wondering where the hell did that come from???? Maybe some day we'll get to meet face to face. Hope so anyway!

Have a good day all

Is it Friday Yet?

What a long day........ but wow, I had this package to greet me when I got home!!!



My warping board came!!! Now to figure out how to use it!!



So I opened the box and put it together. Next thought.... I have to clean my fiber room so I can fit another toy into it.... I pushed, shoved, threw away, packed on shelves all the "stuff" laying around and I can at least walk into the room now. Here is a picture of the warping board put together.
Here is my loom. I've had it since July. I have dishtowels on it right now but hope to get them done in the near future!! Guess that's all for tonight.

Week-end of Dyeing!!

I was able to attend a week end dyeing party!! It was a great learning experience. I didn't realize how much work went into the preparation of the yarns and materials that are hand dyed. Let alone the different ways to make the designs in fabric. I dyed some cotton yarn, and other yarns that I had a home that were mixtures of cotton and wool. I bought some wool fabric and dyed it and hope to cut it into strips and use it to weave a rug or two.

Yippee My First Post!!

First I have to Thank my cyber friend Ariel for "nudging" me to do this. I've thought about it for a long time, and she gave me the umph to do it!!! THANKS ARIEL...........

I'm off to a session on Dyeing. When I've told people that they ask me if I'm going to be a hospice helper!! NO I'm going to learn a new skill today. The art of dyeing fabric, yarn etc. I can't wait, It's going to be a wild ride. Just hope I don't come home looking like a smurf :-)

Rainbow Baby Blanket

I made this almost like the pattern. The only difference is I left the corners scalloped.
It was a lot of fun to crochet.

Green Hat

I made one of these for my daughter and ended up making three more for Christmas presents for her friends. They all loved them!!
