My Rovings

I have been making good use of the long week-end, and dyed a bunch of Merino rovings. I confirmed with my supplier that these rovings are 100% SA Merino, and sourced from mulesing-free farms. All the dyeing shown below was done with food colouring and food dyes.

Here are some pinks:

100g, 23 micron - 'Pale Roses'



100g, 23 micron - ' Purple Rose' - Sold!



100g, 21 micron -'Rose petals and lilacs' - Sold!



100g, 23 micron - 'Pink Blink'



Here are some brights:

100g, 21 micron -'Scrambled sunrise'


100g, 21 micron - 'Autumn Birdbath' - Sold!


100g, 23 micron - 'Demented Rainbow' - Sold!


100g, 23 micron - 'Blaze and Blink'



These ones are going to the Johannesburg Weavers and Spinners Guild Fiber Breakaway with me in September:

100g, 23 micron - 'Radioactive Khakibos'


100g, 23 micron - 'Plumbago'


100g, 23 micron - 'Singed Cyan'


200g, 21 micron - 'Pansy' - Sold!


The next three are 100g rovings, dyed to match each other.
2 x 100g, 23 micron - 'Garden Gate'


Here is the third 100g of 'Garden Gate', still wet!


I hope to get a good grip on spinning on a wheel during the week's classes there!

I have a little shop!

My etsy shop is up and running, and I have even had a sale!

I really hope to do mostly custom soap.

I perpetrated Cupcakes!

These cupcakes were inspired by The Cupcake Factory. She is a fellow  Phat Fiber Sample box contributor.

Yes, all natural, except for the sprinkles.

There will be some of my canola soap samples in the April box, and if these little cupcakes harden up well, I'll be able to sell them at my etsy shop.

I can wait until I'm ready...

or I can start and grow.

I have three children - The Bookworm, The Bouncy, The Boy. Ironically it was the two girls who walked early, talked early, but also got stuck in burgular bars, and collected enough bruises to be labeled 'very active toddlers' by the health care nurse.

My son needed encouragement to start crawling, start walking, climb stairs. The first two jumped in and started doing, while he waited until he knew how and felt ready.

So, I can wait until I know how before starting the blog, or I can start and figure it out as I go along....

Guess which one?
