Candy coated colors!

Yesterday morning I set up my table and soon it was covered with little plates of goodness.Then I left and went and played in the sun with my hubby! We had a nice day in Bordeaux and walked in the water mirror. Had a wonderful dinner by the waterfront and then onto the broadcast of the soccor game last night. Bordeaux against Marsaille. I'm afraid it didme in and I barely could walk home. Old bones...

Weekend here I come!

Yesterday my french teacher told me we had the day off Monday! YAY! that means a four day weekend. Just what I need cause I have so much I want to get done.Yesterday I spent awhile wrapping and tying skeins, ready for their dye bath. I hope to get some of these done this weekend! I have the silk velvet and a few other things to dye too, so I might just play in dye all day one day :)I also worked some...

Hello world!

Today I am quite excited as I received my package of 60 skeins of white floss in the mail. That's right, 60! I loved dyeing my floss so much I decided to do more. If it all turns out well I might even put some of it in my shop. That is...after I have a nice cache for myself. *grin*SO this afternoon I will be occupied wrapping and tyeing skeins. That's ok..the sooner I can get to the dyeing part, the...

Experiments

The end of the weekend

I dont have a lot to say today. It's been a quiet weekend. We ended up no going anywhere but the grocery store and that was ok. We just rested, spent time together and rested some more!I got a little more aquainted with twitter and actually had some fun goofing off on there. There are a lot of interesting and talented people using twitter these days. Also TONS of spammers. As its said though, keep...

Rainbow swirls.

I wove this cloth last night. I LOVE it. I spent this mornign basting it onto a backing and getting it ready to stitch. I thought it would make a nice little coin type purse.Then I picked out my favorite cobalt blue beads and my new rainbow thread. I thought they would look lovely on it. When I first started out I did think they looked good but before long...I had this mess and I hated it. So I spent...

Four Day Weekend

I meant to post earlier today but I got lost in everything I had to do. The sun was shining so I took some pics of the items to go in the shop. I still need to get some more shots but I'm closer to getting it done. I also posted several more things in the shop...and boy does that take some time. I guess it hard to streamline it any more than it is but it's very time consuming!I did get some done on...

Up and Down

So yesterday was a roller coaster ride. I hadn't planned on opening my shop. I wanted to wait a few days and take more pics. I still have items to finish, etc, etc, etc. D pointed out that that could go on forever. It's so true. I decided to just bite the bullet and jump in there and get it done. So now it is. A great relief I must admit. NOw I can take the items that are listed and finished and just...

Etsy Shop

So there we go. I bit the bullet. Not many things up but I DID get it started *^_^*My Etsy S...

Another busy day!

So this morning I woke up around 10:30. I realized when I woke up something was weird. (I had no idea what time it was, I don't have a clock next to my bed) First off, D wasn't in bed. HE gets up 45 minutes AFTER me. Secondly, I woke up without the alarm. I got out of bed to find D gone and saw what time it was! I was supposed to be in class at 9! I immediately got on g-mail and asked D what was up....

Busy day

I have had a busy day today. Right off the bat...French class. Then when I got home I did three dye batches and another two flosses. The second floss got in a tangle and gave me a bunch of problems. I defeated it though *grin*This afternoon I worked on taking new photos of some of my items. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cymberrain/ not sure I am happy with any of them though. I seriously think I need...

Etsy

No pictures today, sorry. Last night I was up till 6:30 am. Insomnia again. I swear I am seriously considering switching to being an all night person and then my problem will be solved *grin*So I am seriously gearing up towards opening this etsy shop thing. Today I wrestled with my banner for several hours. Had to resize it and lost half the image. I finally managed to wrangle it into submission but...

Candy colors

Last night was awesome! Truly. I absolutely LOVE Hilight Tribe. I heard them for the first time last year at the Reggea Fest. We were walking across the grounds to go get some food when I heard this sound...I immediately veered towards it and was in a trance till they finished playing.Last night was no different. From the minute they started playing till the very end I couldn't stop moving. I found...

Update

So today just a quick update on what I've been up to.I showed you pics of my first dye experiment before it was finished. Well...I was not happy with the results. IN fact, I was so unhappy I immediately did it over again. I was still unhappy! This is the photo of the finished results of the first two dye experiments. The thread on the right was my first try and the yellow was completely overwhelmed...

Cadaqués, Spain

I promised you all that I would post some pics so I thought I would do that today. Tomorrow I will post some pics of my thread and other project progress.Cadaqués, Spain was my favorite place we visited I think. It was the home of Salvador Dali for many years. We tried to visit the local museum there but it was closed. After we left here we traveled onto Figueras where the Salvador Dali museum is...
