New Ideas... Again!

I looked at the calendar the other day and realized that the Florida Fiber In is just over two months away!!! And then it hit me... you need to get your butt in gear!

Of course, as soon as I start working on getting stuff together, the ideas start flooding my brain... This time it was no different, lol.

So, here is a sneak peek at an idea that's going back and forth in my head... I'm not going to let out any details yet... I need to work on getting my hand to cooperate in order to make them :)


*Shhh... *







I'm hoping to get more time at the studio to work on this idea and see where it goes... of course there are about five other ideas trying to get out as well, lol :)

Washing Fleece and Silk Noil...

Since I haven't been feeling up to tackling the jobs at the studio, I have sort of been avoiding it for the last couple of days... Well last night I decided that I needed to suck it up and get over there!

After washing some fiber for a customer... Some Shetland/Merino (white) and Border Leicester (black/brown)

Shetland/Merino


Border Leicester


I went ahead and started dyeing some add-ins for future batts... Just love how Silk Noil takes color!!!


Silk Noil... it matches my kitchen, lol


Fuchsia and Yellow


Hopefully tonight will be more productive... I have fleeces to wash, fibers to dyes, and batts to be made :)
