1.After an appropriate mourning period for my beloved lipstick- R.I.P. Laura Mercier Just Lips- I have finally found a (possibly) suitable replacement in Stila’s Rendezvous.
2.Wanna win some Wollmeise? Lesleyluu from Ravelry is holding raffle on her blog to raise money for a friend’s IVF treatment. What a great friend, right? A $5 donation gets up a chance to win the Wollmeise and several other great prizes, so enter early and enter often.
3.I have been remiss. Remiss, remiss, remiss. I’m way behind on my blogging and I’ve neglected to write about a couple of awesome gifts I received from shareholders. My mama raised me better than that and I apologize. Tune in tomorrow for the full mea culpa.
4.We have drop spindles!! Beautiful, hand-carved, one-of-a-kind drop spindles, created just for us by Michael J. Sturtevant Fine Woodcrafts.
These spindles are so lovely that I don’t even know if I can part with them. Never mind. Forget I said anything. Just kidding! This week only all spindle orders will come with a little fiber to inaugurate it.
5. Check out this awesome chicken video that Lauria found.

Beautiful Spindles, Susie!!
And I just can’t get over that silly chicken video! So funny!
The video is great! I love it!
He sounds like an engineer. Not only does he know all about feedback loops, but he can’t tell a hen from a rooster. (Snork, snork.)
I’ve been toying with learning to use a drop spindle and you selling them seems like a good reason to actually buy one and learn how but I don’t know anything about them. Is one better than another for beginners?
Another bit of astounding knowledge that I somehow didn’t pick up in all my years of education. Wow, that’s some thunder I hear over the Lambcam right now.
giggles
LOL! this chicken video made me laugh! I’m a “city-fried” lady living in the country now, learning to raise my very first batch of chickens this year. Makes me want to sneak out to the coop and hold one and see my hens do that too :0)
I hope you’re feeling better. Glad you found Stila
Ooooh, like fancy hand-dyed yarn, to die for little needle felted sheep, lucious dyes, and hand-spun were not enough NOOOOOOO, you are adding SPINDLES!!! Wicked woman!!!!! LOL
um, are you SURE you have spindles? all the ones i clicked on (rosewood/maple, walnut, teak/oak, and cocobolo/maple) say they are out of stock! the spindle AND starter fiber is such a fantastic deal that i would love to take advantage of it and move up from my cd and dowel spindle!
No worries Rebecca! There is one left from the first batch- http://www.fiberfarm.com/shop/rosewood-and-maple-spindle-copy
and I’ve just ordered more. We’ll include some fiber with the next batch as well.
Wow. those went quickly. I still have to get a spinning class under my belt. I tried on my own with the CD and dowel, but didn’t have much luck. Cindy . . . where are you???? I’ll be driving to Parker on a Sat. morning very soon!!!
Those drop spindles are beautiful!
woohoo! thanks Susan! i will wait (sorta) patiently for the next batch so that i can have my new spindle! now, to decide. cocobolo or rosewood… cocobolo or rosewood…
hmmm… apparently i will need the time to make my decision! thanks so much!!
