The kitten is all cozy in the sunshine this week. He does not know that soon he will be looking out the window at rain.

I have been working on my holiday packaging for my stitch makers and jewelry. I have some fun new box modifications to share. I allways make tiny boxes and these are much larger. Perfect for shows this season.

There is something about folding paper. I know I complain sometimes but i really like folding the boxes and seeing how different each one comes out.

Kitten and I are out but hope to bring you are new boxes later this week. After we go to the book store.

Book inspired

I am having fun with book inspired stitch markers.




I love reading and never have enough time for it. Recently I have read some books and had to keep them alive a little longer. I always hate the ending its like loosing a friend.

If you have read Noel Streatfeild's novel Ballet Shoes . . . I heart you.

I am not sure who I am going to do next. I am still looking for the perfect pink pearls for Margaret from Sense and Sensibility.

With Halloween nearing it makes me want to do something spooky..... Maybe next year I will remember.

What have you read recently? Or what have you read many times over?

There are a few books I can reread over and over again.

ahhhh

I have two shows on one day.

ahhhhhh.

Many many shoes. I could not find a bigger picture of all my shoes but here are my mini pics of them.

It was funny pulling out my photo book which is full of these. I must have spent my whole budget on film.

Some of them are so funny as I can remember the min and the laughter. Then on a couple I can't even remember who the picture is of.

So yeah a lot of shoes.

Look Ma

Look Ma Blue Hair!

So I did it I dyed my hair . . . parts of my hair blue.

I enjoy it. Though I learned a few thing along the way.

1. It is much easier to dye hair with another person.

2. You really really need another set of hands.

3. Next time I will have a professional do it.

I started out by trying to find permanent blue dye. Well i did not find it so I have semi permanent blue dye in my hair. I bleached out chunks and dyed them blue along with some unbleached chunks. This is the part that another person would have been most helpful. I needed another pair of eyes and hands for the back and sides of my head. To say the least it is blotchy.

But I enjoy it so.

Blue is good.

7 Weird things about me

I got tagged by my friend Leah to tell seven wierd things about me. I thought this might be kind of fun.

1. I wore Converse sneakers all four years of hs. . . and College. The big joke was that I got up so early they were not always the same color. Moving out on my own I lugged around a laundry basket full of Converse for four years.

2. Given the time and a good book I can sit in a bathtub or a swimming pool and read a whole book. Front to back.

3. I have done a back handspring wearing a football uniform. I did it great in practice and landed on my helmeted head on stage.

4. I have not eaten an eggplant as an adult. My mother has always told me I was allergic and have steered clear of them my whole life.

5. I collect copies of Little Women.

6. Someday I want to live in a barn. A renovated barn...not just a barn.

7. If a group of people are wearing the same colors....I will say so out loud.

Ok I an so normal it is boring.

Fiber P0rn

SO On to FIBER!
This is what I was spinning the other night.
It is natural dyed with a mixture of .....well bugs and wood.
But the mix is delightful. From roving to wheel to noddy.

Tea Time

Tea Time at Aquila was wonderful.

Yummy soup, apple goodies, salad, hummus, and chips.

oo and brownies.

Thanks Ladies.

I am busy updating the stitch markers and adding a few sets of earrings.

Green has been the color of choice for me recently. I think it has to do with fall on the way. I want to hold on to those green leaves.

But Fall is lovely to.

I have also been spinning some great wool that I natural dyed a few years back. It is so far a single ply lace weight. I am trying to decide if I want to keep it lace weight or ply it for some socks?

It is a tough choice the colors fade from one to another and I would like to keep them so. Each section is slightly different colors then the last and I really love how that appears when knit.....

next choice is what do I want to knit with it once I have it all spun?

Lastly My friend Lea has a supply shop...SupplyRiot and is having a special.

Go see and enjoy.
