No more sewing for me!
Well, not really. But I’m not sewing or knitting to sell anymore. I will however start selling my dyed fiber/yarn starting in March.
Sewing just really is not in my heart. I have been cleaning/destashing/organizing my crafts room and I packed up 9 boxes of fabric that I know I’ll never use. Alot of it I still like, but they’re not favorites and don’t have plans, so off they go.
I think I may change the title of this blog to Cajun Crafts — if I can anyway. May have to start a new blog and just blog everything there. I do not like posting different things in different places – I’d much rather post everythng in one space – life, business, crafts.
New blog it is! http://cajuncrafts.wordpress.com is my new home
In which I crawl out from under my rock…
Apparantly, I have forgotten how to blog.
Well, not really, I just haven’t really wanted to. Besides, my life is so boring I figure no one reads here anyway.
So what have I been up to since January? Well, Matthew went into the hospital in February for what we think is MRSA, but will never know b/c some doof messed up the lab orders and canceled them. I’d like to meet whoever did that. Then I took up spinning a couple of months ago. Spinning what you ask?
Why, yarn of course!

I haven’t really had time to get into it very much though. I’ve probably only spun a total of less than 8 oz. Right now, I’m working on some pink/red/purple/blue roving that Abby dyed for me! I am calling it ‘Abby Cadabby’ since, she dyed it and it also came out the colors of the new fairy godchild on Seasme Street. I am very slow so don’t expect an update on this one anytime soon. Although I did just learn the joy of pre-drafting, and I am going back to the basic drop spindle from my Little Meggie pictured above.

I also have a new camera, a Kodak Z series — I don’t have the camera here by me so I couldn’t tell you the number, but I can tell you I LOVE it for a P&S camera. It takes very nice pics and with a little editing, almost looks like it came from a DSLR ( I actually did not do the final editing of this pic, but a friend of mine on DSD)

I also started selling again, although I am not so sure that was so smart of me. I am unknown, and really don’t have the time to devote to promoting myself/keeping stock. It only costs me $5 a month though so I will keep it for now. Here. My next stocking (on the 23rd, I will try to keep it the 23rd) I have not had time this month to get anything made. Abby’s party was last weekend and her birthday is this weekend, so I think what I will do is just list the medium diaper that is in stock already, as a FFS lotto (as a ploy to get myself better known/more feedback). Possibly a Your Yarn, My Needles (YYMN) slot, some organic sherpa yardage I have, and possibly a lotto for a 25% off coupon code for anything instock at anytime. That last one was just a brainstorm of mine just now
Oh, also! I bought a new sewing machine and serger as well. The serger is a Brother 1040D and the machine is a Innovis 1200.
Well, ta-ta for now, it is getting late and I want to get some more spinning in tonight!
