Yes alright, I have taken another long gap between blogs, and I really wish I had much more time in a day!!! Only 3 more days to go until I finally go on holiday - YIIIIEEEEHAAAA!!!! It has been soooooo long since my last vacation, 4 1/2 years without a weekend off, that's why I am truly looking forward to being off for a while. Will I be able to keep my hands off my spinning wheel????? .....I doubt it..... but I have spun ahead tons of yarns and I have painted 2kg of squishy yummy and colourful rovings so I can leave myself in peace ;o) When you are so used to working every single day throughout the year it almost feels surreal not do anything that has to do with wool or yarns and just to enjoy socialising, hanging out, relaxing.....YES.....R-E-L-A-X-I-N-G!! I hope I still remember how to do that, lol. So tonight at midnight I will close down my ebayUK store for 7 days, and I will reopen it on 21st of August even though I will still be on holiday, but people will then be able to place their orders again, have a look through my rovings and yarns, and I will process all paid orders when I return, so the waiting period is actually just 5 days for whoever wants to shop while I am away. I think that's acceptable, right? Anyway, here are some of my latest handpainted fiber beauties I have just now displayed in my ebayUK store and some have found their way onto my website at www.needleworks-pleasure.com :

and the rest of the bulk is still on the wool board, lots of blues, purples and turquoise. I will be taking photos of them tomorrow and display them when I get back from my holiday. Here is also a new lot of handpainted multi layer space dyed tussah silk that is now displayed in my ebayUK store, the colourway is a gigantic blend of loads of blues, purples and turquoise - GORGEOUS, ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

The blues are really marvelous. I think I will use some of this particular lot and spin it into a find lace yarn. Right, there's still lots to do before I can close down my stores tonight, so let me go ahead and finish up.

I wish everyone a great time working your wools and yarns, and let's hope that the rain will stop falling onto Britain for the rest of the summer!!!!! WE WANT SUNSHINE, NOT RAIN!!!!

Feel free to Visit My eBay Store when it reopens on August 21st!! You can always contact me by e-mail during my holiday at [email protected] !
