Valentine Yarns!!

Valentine's day is almost here! Are You ready? Have you even given it any thought? Love is merely an empty concept unless you bring it to alive through action! a Quote from the sidebar of "1001 Ways to be Romantic" by Gregory Godek, one of my favorite books. I personally don't want to ever live without romance. What's the use? When I forget, I head to that book and try to do something from it for my Sweet heart. It's always worth it!! But I think that goes for anyone in your life you Love!
Anyway trying to get a jump on Valentines Day., had me thinking yarns (of course!) and felt hearts and pink! I had some angora dyed different shades of PINKS (Yummy) it's so soft and I just Love working with angora. Kept think of little red hearts running along, (this stuff keeps me awake at night, passion for my fiber! Ha!) So that's it....

This second one is really Hot,Hot Pink with silk flowers and Freshwater Pearls, yes pearls! They stand out in that yummy pink so well!
Plies with a silver thread and glass
beads also.
Well I do need to stop playing around with these yarns and get some weaving done as I have the Art Fiesta show (New Smyrna Beach, Fl.) at the end of February. Oh I did sell the Blue Angora with flowers...to someone in South Korea!! Kinda Cool! I always have so many ideas for my yarns, that it stumps me which to act on!! Follow your Heart Right!!

Peace, and Remember to knit for someone you LovE!! Patti

Well, my son said "Mom You're not weird, you are Eccentric", is that a Good thing? He is referring to the fact my whole living room has become my studio, Hey! I left room for the couch and TV. But after months of trying to get the garage cleaned out, it's now safe to say January would have been too cold to be out there anyway! So I'll get my new Studio (garage) just the way I want it by spring. I'll put all the looms out there, sewing machine, drum carder...I'll need a bigger Studio before I even get there!! Well, anyway I am suppose to be getting ready for the Biggest show I have done yet, but I can't stop spinning! Dyeing and Spinning! Using my Majacraft Rose, before I know it I'm starting another!

Hello All! Can't Believe I haven't posted since March!! I got caught up in other ventures and had some tough things happen. But I was working!, just not Blogging! Have been spinning alot, because I need that mediative medicine to chill me out. Found my habit of spinning crazy yarns to be in style! Ha! My Yarn closet overflows with the stuff that was not used on the Loom, now I think I'll just use it there!! I warped the Baby Wolf with white silk, many scarfs, but ugh, I can't seem to make myself weave it off. I think I'll pull all that weft out and use one of the yarns that I love so much, I wouldn't ever list it, you know the stuff that turned out so cool. priceless to me! I have many things that either turned out beautiful or I put so much time into it. One of those pieces is a Handspun, Hand dyed, Silk and Angora Shawl in the most Beautiful Turquiose Colors. Everyone Loves it, truth is it almost didn't survive the loom it was a Bear of a project!!! Wow, I'm glad I didn't cut that one off!!!
Wishing Every one a Great New Year! I think it will really be a Year of Change for me. I seem to have figured myself out, now have to adjust my surroundings to suit me, if that makes sense! Coming out of a long long relationship (Divorced 3 years now!) I really did have to figure out who I was. The Artist Within Me is fully unleashed, and I love it! I am painting every wall in my house, ripped out flooring, digging ponds, anything to claim my Unique-ness!! No Looking Back! Hugs, Patti
