January 2009 – The Yarn Bearer

Still so very busy around here. A friend told me about a local, monthly market so I’ll be vendor there on February 14th. So if you’re local or just visiting, please stop by and say hello! I’ve got tons of fiber, roving, and yarn for your petting pleasure (but if you drool on it, you have to pay for it).

I got the sewing bug, again. It bit me fierce this time and ended up designing thisone restless night. Last night, I went to sleep with the views sitting at 100ish. When I sat down with my cup of coffee this morning, the views were at 700+. After a little research and with the help of some really friendly, awesome Etsy sellers, we discovered that my Wait Until Dark dress had made Etsy’s front page!

I ran upstairs and started jumping on the bed (while Mr. Yarn Bearer was still trying to sleep in it) squealing at about 1000 mph about it. I think he’s still recovering from it.

ETA: Check it! Etsy Admin snagged a screen shot of the treasury! SQUEE!

It’s late, but Happy New Year! I’m almost sad, the holidays came and went so fast, but they can’t last forever (especially that stomach virus I picked up, thanks goodness).

Dyeing has picked up considerably and Wee One’s fifth birthday is just a few days away. We’re heading down to Disney World and Sea World to celebrate with friends. Another reason I’ve been dyeing like there’s no tomorrow, as well as my very first craft show/market/bazaar is coming up in February. I’m excited and nervous. It’s a local market bazaar which should make good for getting my feet wet.

The To Dye For! Sock Club members have been receiving their first batch of yarn and so far, so good! It is such a relief to see that everyone has enjoyed the colorway they have received. I think I read far too many sock club drama threads on Ravelry and was emotionally preparing myself for failure. SCORE! I’m not full of fail!

I have finished some knitting projects, but have been putting off photographing due to the crappy weather we’ve been experiencing.

I’m off to wind more yarn, but have some eye candy!
