This morning my community choir had a bit of a retreat due to missing a bunch of practices over the winter. It was fun and novel to be meeting in the morning instead of evening, and afterward we enjoyed a potluck lunch and fellowship. Our concert is April 13, so we are feeling the crunch! [...]

Here’s what is ‘Fresh from the Dyepot’ this week! Designer’s Challenge – I saw this combination in a shelter magazine. The sofa was blue, the walls chocolate, and the lamps and throw pillows were orange. Although not my style for in the house, it makes a striking combination. Don’t you want to knit some socks [...]

First of all, yes, indeed Lizzie Beth Lendrum arrived here yesterday, and she is happily adjusting to her new home. The light is terrible today, so I’ll just keep her to myself for a bit longer!

This link came up on one of my yahoo group digests this morning, and it’s a hoot. If you think machine knitting is fast and easy, watch these! (Warning, some mild British swearing.) She is trying a technique that creates a terry cloth type material. http://susyranner.blogspot.com/2008/03/pile-knitting-on-knitmaster-321.html Now granted, not all techniques on the machine are so [...]

A fellow Iowan, AreYouAnArtist started a blog recently, and has featured my “Love Lies Bleeding” hand dyed yarn. You can read the blog entry here. She features a different color every post, and I think it is a great way to showcase some Etsy items. If you look beyond some of the earlier color themes, you will [...]

Fellow Etsian, HarmonyVanlue, created this blue and yellow treasury , and there is my perky Cheerful Hand Dyed Sock Yarn right there in the top right corner! I found out later that it did indeed make it to the front page, and I sold the yarn. (I’m making more today!) Otherwise, I’ve been toiling away [...]

Friday was a great day for ThePaintedTiger. I made my first sale on ThePaintedTiger.com I’ve been open there for about a month, and in fact had just received my March bill (where I had a small fit of ‘can I really swing this going it alone thing’?), when a few minutes later the sale came [...]
