Front Page

It's been quite a while since any of my items were on Etsy's Front Page. Getting something into a front page treasury is the best free advertising you can get!

This week I broke the no-front-page streak with two FP treasuries!

If you have an Etsy shop and would like to be notified when one of your items is on the FP, visit Statsy, click on "Featurator," and sign up.

Tour de Fleece

I participated the Tour de Fleece this year -- you spin every day during the Tour de France. I was able to complete 6 yarns and do a lot of practice spinning. In addition, I tried two new techniques: corespinning and beehives.

I was hoping to accomplish more and was frustrated by the little time I had available to spin. But my job is always busy and there were a number of days when I got home really late and spun for 15 minutes, just so I could say that I spun every day....

I love the look of linen with hints of soft color. I was searching for something like this on Flickr, and was thrilled to find it -- and that it included my linen bulletin board (bottom right).

Don't you love linen?
