Updated Mushaboom Gnomegarden

March 28th, 2010

“We’ll collect the moments one by one

I guess that’s how the future’s done.”

That’s just one of my favorite songs.

I named one of my yarns Mushaboom this go round, in it’s honor.

I just finished a big update at the gnomegarden etsy shop.  Here’s the scoop:

Here is an update that was a long time coming :)   ! go to the ETSY! Please  share it with your fiber loving friends and family!

Look for more frequent updates this Spring with lots of spinning fiber, and luscious yarn.

Many of the yarns in this update look fabulous in combination, thus alleviating the ever present question “well, what would I do with one skein??” :)   If you need more ideas though, there is a fab website of low yardage genius at simple patterns to knit with 1-285 yards of yarn and on Ravelry for  “free knit patterns– 285 yards or less”

Please visit me this Spring and let me know how you are!

This sassy little banner says it all.  Visit the blog/countdown and catch the excitement as a new fiber artist is featured each day.  Today is the knitting gnome’s turn in fact!  There are amazing contests and f-u-n.

As a bonus– the blog is there all the time and a great new “finger on the pulse” of the fiber-full days at Cloverhill.  Give that banner a click!

I am thinking about  what I’ll be giving away here in fact as the awesome event nears.  Stay tuned….

Kids Post– yarn for dinner again??

August 23rd, 2008

(Story and Photos by thing 1 and thing 2.)

Mama’s yarn ladies came over.  They brought  reeeeeeally good food.  My favorite was the  asparagus quiche and both of us LOVED the BERGER COOKIES!!  Here they are.  Kellie and Bonita couldn’t come.  I hope your poison ivy is better.

I baked a cake, and guess what??? It DIDN’T EXPLODE!  ( see a few posts back for that photo)  I wrote knit on it with m&m’s.  It fell apart a little when my mama “helped” me with it.  It was delicious though.

I liked looking at the African safari pictures but my favorite part of the night was eating my cake.

Once you eat fairy food, you can never leave the fairy realm

AAAAAHHHHHH! ( she’s staying!)

So is mama.

nice dogwood picture

The evening was fun and extravagant.  I wouldn’t say it was elegant because I kept tripping in very un-elegant ways.  I am sure that was entertaining at least. :)

Rosie says she had fun.  she swam in the moonlight and the booger cookies were awesome.

the end.
