dreadfalls here i come...

i'm absolutely bursting with ideas for dread falls, i'm going to give it a go this weekend and see how it goes as far as labour, i think i can really make some unique and amazing hair adornments with these felted beauties! i'm thinking about incorporating silks and beads and locks...it's gonna be awesome! the only question is, will they sell?

pictures and updates

wheeeeeeeee!!!! more to come, keep your eyes here!

DOUBLE FAIL

so, first! i had a bunch of yarns that i've been a busy little beaver spinnin up a mini storm, but when i went to upload, the camera died...fail.
then, i wrote this terribly witty and charming post about graduating sign language and crib training and an etsy sale coming up with my friend at www.neauveau.com , it was all very entertaining. but when "publish post" i clicked, DELETED my post became. boourns!
i promise i'll post some pics later!

doodle naps

things have been on hold a bit for the past few days as the doodle has been having a REALLY hard time sleeping...sigh...

yarn is ART!

i ran into a friend of mine who owns a local downtown organic cafe, she's notorious for supporting local artists, and her walls are coveted gallery space as her cafe gets frequented by many in the artist community. i had been meaning to ask her about getting a yarn installation goin on there. i'd barely got the words out, and she offered up the wall next to the staircase, it's a LOT of space, with lotsa natural light...very exciting. so, just brainstorming what i'm gonna put up there.

in the meantime, i've started spinning the purple stuff, SUPER bulky, corespun, thinking about threadplying it...hmmmm....

PURPLE

Yesterday, i did the first stage in my purple push, i dyed up some teeswater locks, and some baby alpaca roving, and some merino and some neps...pinky purple and some almost periwinkle...they're drying on the rack in the bathroom, i'll be doing some more colour variations today when the mighty one and i get home from sign language class! also gonna pick up some supplies for my new line of product...hope it works!!!!

my triumphant return!

Hello! Wow, it has been a LONG time. Lets get you up to speed...firstly, we have moved, the place is smaller, but we'll save quite a bit of money, it's closer to my work, and closer to my mom, i'm happy to be downtown. Second, the mighty man has decided that he no longer wishes to sleep in his crib, there has been some major attempts made to remedy this situation, but with the move, its been a real nightmare, and is a work in progress. It's because of these trials that i've been slacking in my blogging, and maintaining my online self in general. However, may 1st marks a new day, and a new Oscar and Sophia!

I've been a part of Brocante Lux marketplace for the last three months, my local version of a monthly artisan market, right here in downtown st. catharines on the last friday of every month, it has been a learning experience, and has led me to my next adventure with art yarn, gotta keep up with the seasons, and branch out a little, though that is still in development, so i'll keep those cards close to my chest until i'm ready to reveal!

So, life plugs ever on, bamboo and cotton are my new obsession, waiting on my soda ash so i can use my new dyes, i'm thinking about experimenting with dyeing AFTER i've spun, self striping, anyone? for now, here's a little pictoral update, and i will be updating every other day, if not more, so keep your eyes here for new things!
