Memory Lane anyone?
One year ago this month
(January 16th, 2009)
I listed my first few items of handspun and recycled yarns in my brand-spankin'-new Etsy.com shop!
Here's my very FIRST yarn spun on a spinning wheel ----------------->
And my very first (cheap) Etsy Sale!
(hmmm... practice needed! LoL)
I was spinning my feet off back then. (yeah ... that hasn't changed) and I had flutterbys in my stomach with all the possibilities that lay before me.
First coiled yarn and Second Etsy Sale!
I have enjoyed this past year ... feeling more alive then I have in quite a while. Creating. Loving the thrill of it all: spinning, blending, setting, photographing, listing, selling, packaging, mailing. And of course checking my email a zillion times a day to check for new Etsy transactions!
A little voice inside my head imitates the "You've Got Mail" man and says "You've got a Sale". Seriously? Yep. lol. : )
Where does the "Suddenly I See" part come in? Love that song by KT Tunstall ... makes me smile - I can't sit still when I hear it. Makes me remember there are things that I STILL want to be. In addition to Mommy and Wife (and cook and maid and nurse and appointment manager - etc. etc. etc.)
"Suddenly I see - this is what I want to be
Suddenly I see - why ... it means so much to me
the power to be, the power to give, the power to see - (yeah yeah)"
And, of course, I have to give you a sneak peek of the beyond yummy Valentine's Day Art Yarns that I've spun! All of these were spun from the AMAZING batts created by the Uber-Talented Sara of LushMommy.etsy.com - have I mentioned I love her bunches!? Highly recommend any and everything from her shop - ever! But I might cry if you snag all her stuff before I can buy it! LoL.
Sweet Cheeks - Novel Idea Art Yarn
Gorgeous collection of yarn! Love it all... Happy knitting.
