    Hello everyone!! :o)

    god, it's been long enough since I last wrote something for my blog...that's how it is when you have a lot of custom orders to take care of...and Sam still doesn't really want to help...SIGH....this is what he has been doing all day today:

    Yep, looks really cosy in that warm sun now, doesn't he? Bless him, he will be 14 this spring. Of course you chase the sunrays at that age. Until about a week ago we still had a lot of snow, which stayed with us for a fortnight...and I so enjoyed every single day outside!! Winter landscapes are simply miraculous and ever so pieceful...

    We also went out walking with my family and my sisters' kids...for the little ones we took along a wooden sledge so they could ride on it and have a really good time outside. It was lots of fun!!

    But hey, for the rest of those days I was spinning, painting, sorting, carding lots of wool, and in between orders I managed to finish one Bluefaced Leicester yarn design, which I called "Flower Power". It is now displayed on my website at www.needleworks-pleasure.com

    Apart from all that I have also been busy restocking my online stores, which was quite a task. So one new handpainted ultra soft merino/silk roving has found its way into my ebayUK store today:

    I am sure I have missed quite a number of new items that I cannot remember anymore but which are certainly either in my ebayUK store or in my Etsy store....I hope you won't mind if I don't display photos of everything I made within the past 3 weeks...I am trying to keep track here though ;o)

    Gotta go again, the sun is still out (it's now almost 16.00h) and I want to walk Sam while it's so lovely outside.

    Everyone have a very good Sunday!!!

    Hello everyone!!

    First of all, a very happy new year 2009!!.... running a bit late....again....so sorry, but I have been receiving so many custom orders that I don't have much time for anything else. It's unbelievable and absolutely wonderful for me to drown in wool bags around me :oD, I will be really busy spinning and painting new yarns until Mid-March, so if anyone would like to order any custom yarns please allow sufficient time for me to finish them. Right now I am pedalling away to spin some 16 hanks of ultra soft white and butterscotch Baby Camel Down/Silk blend yarn for a very lovely lady in the UK, and in between I will also be spinning 3 large hanks of super soft Baby Alpaca yarn for a knitter in the States, who would like the yarns to be handpainted in the colours of the sea. Plus a dreadmaker from the UK has requested 1kg of handspun slub yarn to be finished by March....not to mention 10x100g of handpainted Merino wool rovings to be finished and mailed to a really funny feltmaker in Finland (she's got a great sense of humour)!! So you see, there is not much time for me to update my blog on a regular basis, I apologise. But I will do my very best to let you know of any new yarns and fibres that I will be making for my online stores, and if you guys need any specific information or advice do feel free to contact me at any time, either through my ebay store, my website, my etsy store or simply through [email protected] ;o) And as always you are also very welcome to Visit My eBay Store for a very wide range of fibres, yarns and beautiful handmade soaps!!

    Speak to you later!!
