Jelly Guessing Game

I'm betting you won't guess what kind of jelly I made here. It's a brand new thing for me -- not making jelly, but making this kind. Here's a hint - it can only be made in the spring.

Weaving with Mohair

This past weekend I wove this purple & silver mohair scarf on my rigid heddle loom. I'm rather in love with it, even though it's May and the scarf probably can't be worn now till October.

You can learn more about this scarf, or why I wove a mohair scarf in May, at my new blogsite.

RIver Birch

This tree isn't sick. In fact it's quite healthy. My Heritage River Birch has exfoliating bark - it peels in layers. This spring it's showing an exceptional number of layers. Perhaps it's due to the long, cold winter we had??

It's Still Snowing

This March is not meeting the old saying -- it came in like a lion and is leaving like a lion.

Still, it's really quite beautiful.

Second Wind Survey

I like taking surveys. Online surveys and telephone surveys. Political surveys and consumer surveys. I have an opinion about lots of things, and am happy to give them to people.

I hope you feel the same way. And that you love a bargain.

I’ve created a really short survey to get to know my readers and customers a bit better. And I mean short - there are only 5 questions, and 1 of them is optional. It shouldn’t take more than 2-3 minutes to complete it. Created with SurveyMonkey, your response is completely anonymous and confidential.

To sweeten the deal, I’ve built in an incentive. Take the survey and get a coupon code for 10% off any in-stock merchandise you order from my website! When you finish the survey, you’ll get the code, and you can use it anytime till the end of August.

What are you waiting for? Go take the survey!

Fishy Scarf

In my last post I showed a scarf that was a heart. This time it's a scarf that's a fish.

"Huh," you say? "Doesn't look like a fish to me," you say?

Go to my new blogsite to see why I think it's a fishy scarf.

Braided Beauties

When is a heart not a heart? When it's a scarf, of course!

I've created a new style of scarf just in time for Valentine's Day. They're fun, they're fashionable, they're fanciful, they're furry!

Scarf #1 - I Y You

Red, pink, & black with hints of brighter colors. Black & white 'eyelashes' just for fun.

Scarf #2 - Am I Blue

Multiple shades of blue, with green accents. A modest amount of purple 'eyelashes' to bring a smile.

Scarf #3 - I Got The Blues

Predominantly light blue with some highlights of several other colors. Lots of purple 'eyelashes' to tickle your fancy.

Scarf #4 - It's Easy Being Green

Greens and blues, accented with both white & black. A good amount of cream & purple 'eyelashes' lighten the mood.

Scarf #5 - Green Is Good

Several shades of both green & blue, with touches of white, black, yellow, and more. A multitude of yarn types. Don't want anything fuzzy? This one's for you!

Scarf #6 - Earth Girl

Brown & tan with plenty of cream & a bit of black -- earthy colors. This one has both some creamy 'eyelashes' and cute, fuzzy pom-poms.

Scarf #7 - Brown Beauty

Tan, burnt sienna, cream, & black, this is a bit darker than Earth Girl above. The fuzzy pom-poms and sienna 'eyelashes' add fun & interest.
