I moved the blog for now to http://froggyfibers.blogspot.com. Come visit me there!

In the meantime, I am searching for options to utilize this space: mainly looking into creating a shopping cart site for additional sales.

Someone on Etsy liked my “Ultra-Violet” roving so much, they asked me to spin them some yarn using those colors. So I recreated this roving and have a single on the bobbin right now. I will be getting a ball winder so that I can ply this back on itself. See, I have pictures!

I had these made for the farmers market by PaperZombie. I plan to go back this weekend. (Hopefully its not raining)

If I have any left over I will list them in the store.

I posted my first hand-painted spindle on Etsy. Top Whorl, Bright Red

click the picture….

I spun this up from one of my farmers market rovings and then plied it back on some blue nylon thread. I’m excited about the results of it. Also, I’ve been getting some sage advice from Etsy seller KnittyDirtyGirl (see link on side bar.) I am going to do the other half and hope to get a much tighter ply.

Comments should now be enabled on my blog!

Believe it or not, I have had this blog up for a year and it never occurred to me that there was anything I could do to allow comments. Now I will have extra work to make sure I don’t get unnecessary stuff.
YAY for comments!

So, today was my birthday. I didnt mention it to anyone on Etsy. Don’t think it was important. I enjoyed having the day off and spending time with my family though. That was nice. Now its time for bed. Night-Night!

PS- I listed the Faded Forestry Corriedale roving pictured below today. Also view it on my Etsy Mini on the lower right hand column.

Most all of these will go for sale on Etsy. I’m thinking of using a couple of them on eBay. The last picture is a variety of hand made spindles. I will have a detailed feature of those soon.

We had are first farmers market today. Things didn’t turn out as expected and the weather was a bit colder that I would have liked. However, lots of people seemed interested in the art that is spinning. I count that as a victory any day. As a result, I also have plenty of new roving to list on Etsy in the coming days as well as hand-painted, hand-crafted spindles.

As a bonus, I got to meet my first fellow Etsy seller. Felicia of Fluffyflowers was there and it was great to meet her. She has the cutest things at http://FluffyFlowers.etsy.com.

Check back in the next few days as I upload pictures of the rovings and do a short feature on the new spindles that I will be adding to the store.
