- Jacki’s Etsy Shop
We went to go see They Might Be Giants again, this time playing a kids show in Columbus. My brother, sister-in-law, and nephew went, too, so that was fun. I mean, it has to be fun when this much confetti is involved, right?
Weirdly, we were allowed to take pictures and videos inside the [...]
So here’s some insanely bright mohair yarn that I dyed.
I think I shall name this yarn “OMG! MOHAIR! KITTENZ! RAAAAINBOW POOPS!’ Or something like that. The weather has been nice the past week, so I’ve gotten a bunch of dyeing done. I should have a shop update sometime later [...]

I’ve finally shaken off the malaise that I’ve had since coming home from vacation and am back to doing crafty things. It’s been nice. This morning I dyed some yarn for the shop, which has been neglected for the past month. Don’t be sad, little Etsy shop! I will soon refill [...]
The past week or so has been filled with construction! drama! The original guy that we had working on our porch expansion got a job with actual paychecks and benefits and everything, so he kind of had to take it, leaving us, unfortunately, with just a suggestion of a deck in our yard. [...]
Okay, I lied. I wound up doing a mini-update today in the shop. I combed out some roving balls last night and felt like putting them up, and I had some leftover skeins from the last time I dyed, so I put them online today. Incidentally, this set of balls:
…wound up killing [...]
O hai! I’ll be laying low over the next week or so, yarnwise, due to some construction that’s going to start taking place on our house, which will kind of render yarn dyeing sort of tricky. (Sawdust + wet yarn = FAIL). We’re having our front porch expanded to a deck type [...]
If I’ve been a little absent around here lately, I blame it solely on the insane black raspberry harvest we’ve been getting from behind our house.
The berries just kind of started growing a few years ago, and since yard maintenance is way low on our list of priorities (embarrassingly low, actually), the berries have been [...]
It’s been oppressively hot and sticky here lately. Motivation for doing anything productive is low. Travis’ family is coming by tomorrow. They’re going to be camping up at Mohican State Park, which is alternately nice (yay family visit!) and horrifying (oh my god the weather is supposed to be in the upper [...]
I’ve been doing fibery stuff this week. I needed a break from yarn, and Travis and I have got a bunch of stuff going on this weekend, so I figured tomorrow (Friday), I’d just do a smallish fiber update in the shop. I made some sets of batts…
…and balls.
And hey, I actually spun [...]
Working on getting some yarn ready for a shop update tomorrow.
Yay, yarn! I’ll start putting them up tomorrow morning, barring any unforeseen weirdness. No fiber right now – I’ve been in a yarn mood lately, and a bit of a fiber slump. I did order some new dyes, and got some fiber [...]
