about updating my blog! a few more stockings have passed since i last managed to get over here and post. i've been doing a lot of instock and some customs... things are moving, but slowly. winter illnesses are kicking my butt this year -- millie brings them home from preschool and i seem to pick up every other one from her, probably because i never get enough sleep.
anyway, i'll just show off some pretties that are still instock either at the leaf shoppe or fresh. enjoy!
beautiful collab with steph at aliah's creations, instock at the leaf shoppe
little stinker tees, still instock at fresh
what started as yarn i dyed, destined for longies for my daughter...
became gorgeous capris (turns out there wasn't enough yarn for longies, oops) worked up by joline at hibiscus baby...
that were worn by my girliegirl, millie...
then she potty-learned.
and then inspiration struck and they became part of a sweet little remix set that sold recently at http://hyenacart.com/fresh/...
and who knows, maybe i'll be able to add a customer photo someday too. and hopefully the capris will be loved as much as they were here, and turned over to the next little girl to love on them, and then the next...
in other news, i'm excited about being one of plumknit's featured indie dyers, with four of my colorways on oh-so-yummy cashmere and cashmere blends stocking this coming tuesday. previews should be up in the next few days at http://hyenacart.com/plumknityarnsupply/index.php?c=63 but till then, here's a peek at the goods. :)
it's been almost a month since i managed to update here. it's been crazy busy... finishing up a big group order, a few customs/trades in time for christmas, a stocking on the 5th and another on the 9th, plus jasper turned five, holiday shopping, preparing to host christmas day (which has now been changed to the 1st, so i get a little breather), playgroup at the house, new carpeting, etc. i'm a little burnt out from this month and we still have to get through christmas part one (parents house) and part two (out of state at inlaws). add to it a few winter storms... egads. spring cannot come too soon.
anyway, here's a little of what i've done in the past month or so!
next up is our INSPIRE stocking at fresh on january 9th at 9am and 9pm eastern and another stocking either at the leaf shoppe or perhaps somewhere else with some of the same great group as our december 5th stocking. *wink*
i've totally been holding out on updating the blog and my flickr. i've been very busy though, have no doubt! here's a peek at the past several weeks of work. not all of it, but most... the bulk is for a group order, with a few bits of customs and instock thrown in the mix.
well after a year and a half without a pet after our dog, barney passed, we just adopted two young lab/terrier (lab/border collie?) mixes this past weekend. so i now have a dog-friendly household again and need to update my "about me" on the congos to mention them. they are confined to the family room, kitchen and laundry room currently so they will not be around where i store yarns/shirts or package orders up to ship. hopefully this will minimize any dog hair or issues for people with possible sensitivity to dogs.

i've been so bad about updating here but i have been busy working on a group order and customs, with just a little bit of instock on the side. my next stocking is november 9th at fresh when we celebrate our decadence theme. pictures hopefully later this week to show off a little of what's in store for instock and also some progress on the group order!
things are still moving along here, just haven't taken the time to post. working on wrapping up a few customs (brandi and janet) and preparing to start the next batch. also jumping into batiking for a group order and more instock for the leaf shoppe this friday. here's a few things that i wrapped up this week so far. more coming in a few days.
also still have this cute yarn/tee set available at fresh. i just love this, and it's hard to capture the colors but the neutral beige/browns with the hint of celery green is just so neat. hopefully someone else agrees and will snatch it up soon!
it's been a good week for getting customs and some instock knocked out... not that it hasn't been without its hiccups but overall good stuff going on. i'll just show you the pretties because it's late, i'm tired, and i need to batik a few things up before i totally crash for the night (sick kid home today so didn't accomplish anything as planned).
first up, some customs in the works and just wrapped up...
the shirt on that last one has actually been overdyed so this is the updated photo now -- so much happier with the green now!
and then some instock coming up for my guestslot this coming sunday at artiste...
and of course there's still more in the works for sunday as well, and soon to follow -- our next fresh stocking is a week from today on october 9th! more on that coming hopefully in the next several days. :)
