...this week i am honored to be recognized among a handful of amazing fiber artists in the Art Yarn community :) in this season's Winter 2010/Spring 2011 issue of Knitscene, Amy Palmer wrote an article featuring four art yarn spinners, their totally textured handspun creations, and a bit of background about each of our spinning styles :)

i had such blast dyeing and carding and gathering yummies for this update! all the while listening (and singing and dancing!) to a totally awesome collection of 80's songs :) my faves span everything from metal hair bands to pop hits, new wave, glam rock, punk, hip hop and rock ballads :) have fun listening along to these great tunes below! :)

and then there were 4...

...so its time we added to our humble little family, and once again we get to hear the pitter-patter of little feet around the house...

well, its more like a rolling sound, since those little feet, 4 to be exact, belong to our new hamster, Harriette, who loves to scoot around in her little green ball :)

and she is quite a husky thing! over 6 inches long, she barely fits through the little tube adjoining her double cage condo... but she rolls like a champ around the house and only bumps into things she wants to sniff out...

she's my new spinning buddy, i usually bring her and her ball out at night and she gingerly bumps my wheel now and again as she cruises the floor, as if to say "looks great! maybe a little more fluff or bling and its golden!" :) i love pets that just listen and love and make me laugh :) xoxo

ETSY SHOP UPDATE: Saturday Nov. 14, 11am pst :) coffee and cookie dough this time... why chance it by baking? xoxo
