Winners!

I just sent out e-mails to the 8 winners, Congrats everyone! I would post a winners list but silly me forgot to ask for names. Oops.

Just want to thank you all, thanks to my posting on various coms on livejournal I got over 100 entries. It definitely has kept me busy all day! A very special thanks to those of you who supported my shop over the weekend, your orders will go out tomorrow!

The weekend Grand re-opening went very well! Though not without it's hick-ups. I lost a bunch of pictures when I had a misunderstanding with the delete button, so not everything got listed this weekend that should have. So, more updates through out the week, that is as soon as I sort through it all and see what I got.

Again, thank you everyone, I wouldn't have the shop if it wasn't for you all :)

Sneak Peak

What I have gathered so far for the give a way:



The book "Irresistible gifts to Knit" by Allan Dart (Includes the yuletide gnome pattern!) 3 Bath & Bloom Soaps (Jasmine Rice, Dark Chocolate, and Lemongrass.) The fiber is (left from right) mohair in Mardi Gras and Ocean, Merino in Petals, and Domestic Wool in Prep.

The way thegive a way will work is for every item you buy during the weekend of my grand re-opening you will get your name put in for the give a way. So if you Buy 3 items total through out the weekend you get your name in 3 times. Make sense?

As this gets more organized more info will be available here. :)

With bells and whistles

Since I really have neglected the shop lately I decided on having a Grand Re-Opening! Complete with give a ways!

It will be from June 6th to June 8th. 3 days of new rovings, and give aways.

I have 7.5lb of fiber dyed right now with a goal of having 10lbs up for the re-opening.

Keep an eye out, it's coming.Publish Post

Soon!

Update will be really soon!

Think I lost my mind...

I just put EVERYTHING (minus 2 items) in my shop on sale to prepare for the next update...

Really Bad Spoiler Pic

about 5.5lbs there...



sorry for the bad picture, colors are way off, but then it is a spoiler... lol

Getting there

It's amazing how time can fly. I spent another week out of town and I'm behind again. Yesterday was my first foray into acid dyes. I need to fine tune a few things, but it's a good start I think. Like with the previous dying I've done, I'm not doing dye lots just yet. I'm just playing and trying to get a handle of the technique.

Yesterday I also did some kool aid dying, something I haven't done in ages, did it as a way to let my husband help. He was hovering. They actually came out nicely.

All the fiber is in a bath right now, will hopefully be dry in the next few days and I'll post them in the store. I also have 3 or 4 other braids I did before I moved that never made it into the shop, those will get posted too.

I'm making no promises since I seem to break them, but I am back and I'm going to make this work. For all of us :)

Almost there!

After combing almost every thrift store in three counties I found a whole two crock pots. I will give them a test tomorrow and if it goes smoothly then out will come the new dyes and my bags of fiber. I also was able to get a pot for steam setting hand painted fiber, so once I get a work surface you can expect the hand paints to come back. If all goes well I will be able to do more at once then I was able to previously, that means more fiber in the store. I still want to get a couple more crock pots, I'll head out in the other direction next week and check those two counties ;)

Once I get room to move around in my new place I'll start taking pictures, my goal is to have them all loaded before Sunday.

I'll update again before then,

Eve

Let the Fun begin!

Look what I got in the mail from Earth Guild:






The top picture shows the Natural Dye and Mordanting starter kits, and the bottom shows the Lanaset Dye starter kit! Time to have some fun! Still need some crock pots, I hope to scour thrift stores the next few days. I hope to give the shop a complete make over this week.

Including:

• new photos of all items
• new sale items
• new stitch markers
• new rovings

I know I've really been slacking and I hope to change that. You all have been so wonderfully patient with me and my dwindling stock, I really hope to make it up to you all!
