Weekly Shop Update

Over Saturday and Sunday I updated my shop. I put up 14 new stitch marker sets. That's all the sets I had made. It'll be stitch markers mania this week to be ready for next weeks update. Wanna see what's new? Visit my shop.  Here is an overview of the new additions still available.  .

 

 

The best news?  I’ve sold five sets since I started the update.  *happydance*  I feel good.  I’ll be riding this high all week!  Also good news?  I found another supplier for my beads.  Inexpensive without sacrificing quality, just how I like it.  I’ll be placing an order soon, so if you have a color request, speak now!

 

Good news for you?  All orders will receive a gift just as a thank you to you from me.  What?  Well you’ll have to buy to find out.

 

On the agenda this week…

1. MAKE MORE STITCH MARKERS
2. Finalize and make stock of wrist distaffs
3. Stock up on free gifts (hint, hint.  Go buy stitch markers!)
4. Place bead order.

Up and coming events in NC:

• September 18 – Spin in public day
• October 3 – Farm Fest at Rising Meadow Farm in Liberty, NC
• October 22 – 24 – Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair at WNC Ag. Center in Fletcher, NC

Talk to you soon!

Socks, shop, and Spin Control

Some crazy woman decided that for Christmas everyone in the family would get hand knit socks who did not already have a pair. Oh yeah that was me.

 

Sometimes I wonder about my own sanity.

 

Good news is I do have one pair made, one on the needles, and the yarn for two more pairs. I still have to buy yarn for three more pairs. Also on the holiday checklist: Sheldon the turtle, A Haruni lace shawl, a watch cap and cowl set, an OpArt blanket, a set of mittens, a scarf, a lace bag, and a coffee cup coozie. That's not unreasonable, is it? I also have two different sets of roving to spin. Going to be fun huh?

 

Since my last post, I sold two more sets of stitch markers. I'll be updating my shop again on Sunday with at least five new stitch marker sets. Right now I'm trying to figure out if I can cut costs by ordering in bulk online. I'm crunching the numbers and weighing the pros and cons.

 

I will soon have some different offerings stitch marker wise within a week or two. I'll update and let you know before hand. I'm still trying to keep my stitch marker sets one of a kind, because I personally like the idea myself. But what is your opinion?

 

And last but not least I’ve been eyeing the spinner’s control cards out, but the seem unreasonably priced to me.  I know they’re a great tool and I really would like one, but I just cannot make myself spend $16+ on one, so I made one of my own using MS Works Word Processor.  It doesn’t have as many options as the store bought one, but I think it work well enough for me. 

 

And that is what has been up with me.  What about you?

 

Almost forgot about this!

I know it’s been awhile, but Life got in the way.  And honestly I've been rather busy. But I promise to do better. First off, for my birthday in May I got my newest toy, a spinning wheel. My parents bought me a Double Treadle Fiber Production from Babes Fiber Garden. I love it. Which meant I got to really participate in this years Tour de Fleece, unfortunately I did not meet my goal of 30 minutes of spinning each day. Fun was had anyway. I look forward to next year. Also I now have my own Esty shop!

 

 

Come by and check out my stitch markers.  I’m perfecting my wrist distaff design and hope to have them in the shop soon.  So that’s why I’ve been away among other things.  But I’ll be back soon.
