What'sup?

I spent the entire day yesterday dyeing, something I have not done in a long time. I had a blast and made a phenomenal mess.

I have a bunch of natural malabrigo worsted merino I planned to paint and sell on the site. I dyed a few skeins today but will probably KEEP them, they are amazing, if I may say so myself! haha but maybe I will duplicate them to sell....need to think on it a bit.


My NEW SITE should be live sometime this coming weekend, I hired a web designer as it is getting to the point where the site is beyond my computer abilities and updating has been very time consuming ( I know enough to be dangerous and that is about it). The new site will have a professional grown-up shopping cart and a brand new blog! WOO HOO-- keep an eye out for many new products. I have so many fun things in the works that I have been sitting on in anticipation.

I am so excited about the new site-- such a big step...... heehee !


So... keep your eyes open, it won't be long!

Both hats are made using my Personality Hat Pattern.



I made this hat for our friend Rachel. It is a basic hat with a seed stitch brim.

Here kitty kitty (sniff)


Still no Rex, we drove the neighborhood yet again today making fools of ourselves calling him.

This cat never ventures far from the back deck and his food. Not the most ambitious animal as you can see by the pic in the previous post.


Good News-- I have a few new skeins I will get up in the next few days.


Spinning helps me forget.


:(

Rex MIA

My kitty dude- is missing.



He is the MOST routine-oriented animal on the planet. And an 18 lb. pig.


So when he didn't show up at the door Tuesday morning to come in and eat I was worried.


Tonight I am even more worried.


Come home Rex!
