This is my Halloween Town colorway I spun from Storied Yarns! I just love how it came out!

My Birthday Present

Above is a package I received from Everimprovingme! It is a SAL I wanted to participate in and my parents got it for me for my birthday. This is an amazing present because I will get so much enjoyment from it. There is coffee beans, tea, coffee and tea flavored candy, a stitch marker, a coffee mug (on the other side it says Twin A!) and lastly 4oz. of yummy Carmel Macchiato colorway that has Alpaca, fine merino, BFL, polwarth, firestar, and bamboo fiber in it! I can't wait to spin this fiber! Thanks Mom and Dad for the awesome Birthday gift! I just love it!

Below, is a package I recieved from Shetibo.etsy.com I won a prize in a Tour de Fleece spin along event. This is what I won! a 2 oz. batt of colorway Mermaid Garden! The fiber is Shetland/ with nepps, bamboo,polwarth, N2 romney, faux mohair, and firestar. It is really soft. She also sent me a reusable sandwich bag she made, a stitch marker that looks good enough to eat, a magnet,pen, coaster, and some tea which I have already had! Thank you Jess for the prize I just love it!

My First Spinning Wheel!

I got an Ashford Spinning wheel today at a festival in Ocala!  Barbra is my spinning wheels name! I named her after the wonderful lady that sold her to me. She took the time to talk with me about spinning and may I say her spinning was top notch! Both skeins were very even. I still need to get more bobbins and a lazy Kate. Maybe I can get my wonferful husband to build me one. I am very excited to start another craft! Thank you Barry! You are a wonderful man to support my fiber craziness! I love you!

My First Handspun Yarn Made By Me!

My first 30 yards of my own hand spun yarn! Now I need to decide if I want to ply it. I couldn't believe there is only 30 yd. out of what I spun. it seems like there should be more. Next, I need to decide what I could make with a small ball of yarn. Any ideas?

My New Drop Spindle!

I got this new Drop Spindle at the Florida Fiber In! I am enjoying learning how to spin fiber into yarn. It will be awesome to make something from it. It will be completely handmade! Thank you Barry for getting it for me! I love you so much. You are a wonderful man to support me in my fiber habits!
