As I mentioned on my last post, I have become a member of the Phat Fiber family. This is my third month contributing to the box. Last month, I did not post photos of my contribution because I only made a few extra batts and they sold here at the shop before I could list them in my Etsy store.
This month's theme was Rainbow Connection.
I contributed 'Delicate Rainbows' stitch markers for knitters.
These will fit up to size US 6 needles and I am offering a 10% discount coupon in my Etsy store www.thespinnerscottage.etsy.com until Oct. 15th 2013. This is good on entire purchase, excluding shipping. I will be glad to combine shipping to save you money.
I have also made a crocheter's version of these markers. You know, since I am a crocheter.
I also got carried away and made earrings to match!
Then I decided to make Delicate Patriot earrings as well.
And some femmy pink crocheter's stitch markers.
I know my photos leave something to be desired, and I am working on this.
On a personal note, I have been really quite busy around here. Trying (and failing) to keep up with the yard work, getting ready for a local show and working towards the fall Bag Lady tour. Then before we know it, Holiday Open House will be upon us and then Christmas. This is just a really busy time if year for us around here.
On Sept. 21 we will be at the corner of SR 58 & SR 303, Pittsfield Town Hall, for the Primitives and Antiques show to benefit the Pittsfield Historical Society. This is their first show, but I am expecting it to be a really good one, as it is being organized by a lady who really knows what she is doing.
I hope you can come out for it. There should be loads of interesting things there. Mom will be there with her stained glass, I will be there with my rugs and fibery things and of course giving drop spindle demonstrations if it's not too cold. There are antiques, gourmet foods, primitive items, and a slew of other things expected. There will be vendors inside the town hall, under the pavilion and on the lawn. We are on the lawn.
Mom also has some wonderful things in her Etsy shop www.thecowgirltradingco.etsy.com and I think she is getting ready to update there as well. She has lots to offer there so you should try and stop by. I am carrying many of her fiber related items in my shop but she has lots of stained glass items that are neither fiber related or cowgirl related. She makes lovely angels and soon will be adding her stockings, porcelain old world santas and faeries to her store just in time for Christmas.
And just a heads up, next month's Phat Fiber theme is "Brewing of a Storm". If you are interested in finding out more about Phat Fiber, please visit the website at www.phatfibersamplerbox.com
There are all kinds of giveaways, lots of online shops to visit and a monthly preview video showing what could be in your box. It's really all about the fiber, and there are such wonderful artisans in this community. Some are local to our area and others come from around the world and across the U.S.A. to participate in this monthly box. I hope you check it out.
So, my Etsy store has been updated, as well as this blog. Now I am off to do some cleaning so I can get back to my projects!!
Thanks for visiting, and again, I am sorry I have been away for so long. It's that time of year.
