Yesterday while I was waiting for my dye pots to cook I decided to have some fun making some art batts, I don't know how long it's been since I have made any. I actually think it may have been about a year ago, sad but true. I mean don't get me wrong I have used my carder but most of the time it was just for processing fleece or making tweed fibers/yarns. I was having so much trouble just getting the colors right, partly because my stock is low, but mostly because I have not done this in so long. Anyway I hope they inspire you, I know I had a great time making them.

I wanted to show off my newest spinning wheel ! Last year I found a great deal on a new maple Matchless from the Schacht Spindle Company, and well I just had to get her. Hmn why is it that I usually refer to spinning wheels as "she", but I never wanted to name "her"? In fact it always seemed a bit silly to me, I guess I just think of the model as the name. Back to other things, So I had a bit of time today to create... what do you think I decided to do? I had a dye day, below is a picture of some of the things I dyed today. On a side note, is anyone out there sick of cold weather like I am? I know I like warm wooly things, but I am Sick of cold weather. Watch though I'll bet I will be the first person to complain it is too hot. Oh well, Later all.
Hey there everyone, I know I said it it in the last post, but it's been awhile. Quite a few things have happened since then, so I think that I will slowly update y'all as I remember some of the things that have happened. It may not be in any order, but hopefully I can get up to speed. So one of the first things I remember that last fall I was in an art competition in a my local town, during our local festival .... and I won first place!!! And here is the description that go's with it.
It has been ages since I last wrote... I'm still around I just have not had time to write. As promised (yes I know it was years ago) a photo of my sock machine. I admit I took it some time ago, and my studio has been rearranged since then.... but here she is. Hopefully I'll have more to say soon. Till then Kevin
