Me
Well, about me…
I am a stay at home mom of four with too many pets, too many ideas, too many plans, too much to do, and not enough time!
I love to create things and I feel most at home when I am surrounded by a crafty mess and plenty of supplies. I’ve quilted, sewn clothes, crocheted, knitted, embroidered, cross-stitched, done macrame (my very first craft – I learned from my mom when I was five years old), rug hooked both the old fashioned way (pulling loops up through canvass) and the cut yarn way. I am probably missing something in this list, lol, but I can’t think of it offhand. I would someday like to try tatting…if my eyes hold out that long!
My current passion is knitting and I try to knit every day.
My newest passion is spinning! I started with a drop spindle and now have a Kromski Minstrel. I suspect I am becoming a fiber addict since I feel the need to collect a tub of it 
I like to work from patterns because it saves me much thought. Lately I’ve been having fun allowing myself some freedom to ‘just knit’ and let the pattern find itself. I’m not brave enough to try this with anything more complex than mittens/gloves/hats/scarfs/socks yet but the ’sweater I designed myself’ is something I aspire to.
I love reading other peoples blogs and really really love learning new techniques. Learning is one of my favorite things!
I am sure I am reading about myself here, with the exception that i sew baby hats too, too many ideas, yes and not enough time and tiredness takes over too these days, keep up the good work. I have discovered i can sell my wares on ebay, its great satisfaction too sending off your own designs too and been paid for it!!
Do you sell your garments at all?
Keep up the ggod work!!
OMG. I LOVE wool. In fact, that’s why I love your sight. I can see all the crafty messiness, and I am exactly the same. I was looking for ways to make wool combs, because I certainly don’t have over a hundred dollars to blow on some wood and sharp, pokey things. I’m still new to crochet and I started knitting probably two years ago, but I have nerve damage in my right arm, which made controlling the needles too hard. I was recently given a set of knitting looms, and now I knit like crazy! But my ultimate passion is spinning. I have a drop spindle that has halped me spin over 3,000 yards of yarn. I love what you are doing, and I love that I am not the only one with a houseful of kids, pets, and giant messes of craftiness!
Jenny your house sounds like so much fun! Knitting looms are something I haven’t tried (yet!) and I totally share your passion for spinning.
If you have any questions about the wool combs, just ask! I like the idea of helping people with diy stuff. Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can – I’ve just begun working with tools and wood and it’s a lot of fun. Plus the satisfaction of having exactly what you want without spending an arm and a leg. I really think prices are outrageous for some of the tools and supplies I’ve seen.
