Snowy day apparently means we share a bean bag

Once upon a time, she would have faced the prospect of being outside in the upcoming weather. Now she's cuddled in her bean bag with a blankie, all snuggled and warm.

There's a reason @fossilfibers.bsky.social is one of my favorite fiber dyers. Falkor is such a gorgeous, soft color. 🧶

Every time I spin Ramboulliet, I wonder why we don't have more commercially available yarns. It's every bit as soft as Merino.

The joys of fossorial tarantulas. This is the first time I've seen my C. lividus in at least 5 months.

You'd think seeing him sleep like this would lose its novelty, but it hasn't yet!

Probably my last big finish for the year

I have a repeat customer 😊
There's a lady who's bought handspun from me from the last 3 years' craft shows. She told me yesterday that I was the whole reason she came out. I had moved to a new spot, and she did a little happy clap when she found me.

Meet Persephone.

I never named my Kiwi. But the second I sat down in the showroom to play with the Matchless, she told me her name. She has already received doggo approval.

Excited to grow with her!

This glorious Corriedale 🧶 from @fossilfibers.bsky.social will be my last spin with my little Kiwi, because I upgraded to a new wheel. I'm gonna keep it around for a bit to ply larger spins on until I can get a jumbo flyer for the new one.

Spooky season shawl!

I modified the body, because I just didn't feel like doing all the colorwork, but kept the lace, because that's what it's all about!
