New project bag

Most of the knitting project bags I have are smaller which is great for a hat, scarf, socks and so on. I needed a bag a little bit larger so I finally sat down to sew this up. I had the fabric cut and ready for sewing for several months now. It got forgotten with the dash to get everything done over the holidays. It's so humorous how much I will procrastinate on finishing a sewing project because I have to take the sewing machine out of the closet. It only took me half an hour to sew this up including setting up the machine and putting it back away. I'm glad I finally made myself do this. It turned out really cute. The pictures didn't turn out too well, but I'm too tired to care right now. Kids waking up at 5am makes this momma one tired little lady!

My first hand spun off the new wheel

Here are my first couple of hand spun yarns from my new wheel.

The first is a Shetland blend batt from Handspun Harvest. Colorway is "Black Magic" and I learned how to use a diz as well on this fiber.

Next up was some hand carded Alpaca that my friend Regina gave to me. I enjoyed learning how to work with Alpaca fiber and it is amazingly soft!

A couple handspun pictures to share.

So I got a Lendrum double treadle spinning wheel for Christmas

I've got a couple things spun up already. I'll add pictures in the next post.

Changing blog name

Since I'm doing more personal crafting and less stocking of my store, I've changed my blog name. I will try to update more and post my crafts and crafting stories.

Stocking again soon

After a long hiatus I'm planning on stocking my store again. I took a long break to get adjusted with the addition of our daughter. Little did I know it would be 10 months before she decided to sleep through the night. In my sleep deprived state, I really didn't want to be running a store as well. I'm starting to feel like a normal person again :) Over the next couple of weeks I will be restocking my store during nap time. Soon all my scents will be available for purchase from the store. It has been a joy to just be mommy the last several months.

Happy birthday Creatively Serene!!!

Creatively Serene turns 1 this month. I have thoroughly enjoyed stocking with this congo since the beginning last march. We will be having guest vendors all month, so come by and check it out.

Getting ready for Babymoon.

Soon we will be welcoming Lilith Kathleen into our growing family and I will be taking a break from both my business and personal time on the computer. Until she comes, I have having a sale on my cart. Enter the code: sale for 50% off your entire purchase.
