Greetings

That's all the yarn added to Etsy for tonight. Goblin - the romney decided not to cooperate. The color is not as accurate as I liked. So, Goblin is having a time out. I still have 6 bobbins of singles to ply. Hopefully, I'll be able to add them late this/early next week. The sale will last through Jan 9/10, 2010 depending how busy I'm. Thank you for taking part in the sale. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you. Keep warm and be safe.

Happy Thanksgiving

Holiday sale is on. The listed price is 10% off. The sale will go on till the holiday is over. If your purchase is $100 and over, please read Shop Policies for more details. If you want to send the yarn as a gift, let me know during checkout.

Do forgive me on the long silence. I do have new yarn but was not able to get them listed in a timely manner. November is a difficult month with the time change to adjust to, kids activities at school plus Nov 29 is more difficult than any other November days (just checked my calender. It's Nov 25th not 29th). It's the day my beloved Grandfather passed on. This November marks the 30th year of his passing and I will always miss him. Anyway, let end the sob story for now as Thanksgiving is around the corner. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Enjoy!!

Sunday, November 1, 2009

Thank you

Thank you all for your support and making the sale a success. I look forward to seeing pictures of the finished project. Do email me some pictures. I'm spinning at a slower rate as the roving/single keeps tangling up with my injured finger. I'll upload pictures when I have new handspun. Thanks again.
