Firestar Coming Soon!

I decided to bring in Firestar for sale in the shop offered in both undyed and hand dyed. I love this stuff! It's gloriously shimmery, sparkly, and won't affect the hand of the fiber. I'll be offering it in 8 colorways, along with undyed. In one half ounce packages.

$3.95 per ounce natural white
$4.50 per ounce hand dyed

This batt was done with multiple colors of hand dyed Firestar.

Bohemia Fibers Is Now Phat!

I am so excited to be a member of the PhatFiber team on Etsy.  This is huge for me. I have respected and admired them from afar for a long time. And now I'm officially a team member YAY!!!

Ok, you all need to get your hands on a Sampler Box. This is amazing stuff, samples from some of the best Fiber artists on Etsy.

Here is a tutorial from a fellow Team Member on how to get your very own box.  So go here, heart the shop and stalk wait for the box of the month to be posted.

I'll be contributing to the March box, and I'm really excited about planning my items for it.

Go Team Phat!

New Spring Batts

Hippy Trippy, my newest batt in a riot of color. Can you tell it's going to be a colorful fun year for Bohemia this year? This batt has all sorts of fibers mixed in, Cotswold curls, bamboo, silks, and it's all hand dyed by me and carded. I really am having a hard time watching this batt leave, but why should I have all the goodness??

 

Shea Butter And Beeswax Spinners Balm

Long, long, ok. Not that long ago. I tend to exaggerate, but let's say years ago, I was a soap maker.

I learned how to create hand made cold processed soap. I did that full time for a couple of years, and then I stopped. My creativity had pretty much stalled. And I discovered Fiber.

I learned quickly that my drier, aging skin, (I'm 48) could not handle dry Winters, and in dry New England Winters, I still have to handle silks, wools, cottons and all manner of fibers.

So I took out my pots and made a batch of my balm. I had forgotten how good in it's simplicity it was.

Shea butter, palm oils, olive oil, essential oils, and beeswax. So simple. So wholesome and still so good!

So I added to my Etsy and I'm selling 4 ounce tins of absolute wonderful, and perfect Spinners Balm.

I have two types, one is a straight Lavender, and one is a Lemongrass and Lavender.

Both are great, and at $6.00 for 4 ounces, it's a fantastic deal.

Core Spun Yarns Coming In February

Coming in February, Core Spun Yarns created from the beautifully dyed rovings of  Lake House Loft.
Julie makes the most beautiful colorways, dyed from precise formulations, and all using primary colors.

I am in love with her hand painted wools, and she's one heck of a spinner also!

You can find Julie's work on Etsy  and her work is also for sale on Artfire.

Julie has about 24 colorways available, so if you're looking for the most gorgeous hand painted rovings, check
her out!

Pancakes

I made Dante some pancakes this morning for breakfast and in the process promptly spilled milk all over my kitchen floor. Alot of milk. As I watched the milk become a small lake, I was thinking back to my childhood.

I don't ever remember my mother ever making pancakes for breakfast. I had a close friend whose mom loved to make eggs for breakfast when I slept over, but my mom I can't remember her ever making them for us.

I hope Dante has good memories of Winter Sunday mornings and my pancakes.
