Vyxxan's Virtual Venture

Archive for the ‘Stamping’ Category

First of all, thank you everyone for commenting!

I mentioned visiting Sara and Tony at Paper Odyssey back in July, probably at the bottom of another post. I had given her a silk scarf I’d dyed, and wanted to show her some of the others.

Sara ended up buying one from me, a big purple scarf that I call Galaxy Silk. I do the scarves mostly with Low Water Immersion, and the color variations are just fantastic on silk.

Sara sent me a photo a while back, of herself wearing the scarf. Kept meaning to post it, but it sort of got lost on my computer.

There is a lot of great stuff in the store there in Eureka Springs, just look at all that wonderful paper! I love visiting Sara… I never go anywhere else usually, just to Paper Odyssey. Just too long of a drive to do it very often!

Thanks Sara, for the photo!

hugs,

I mentioned I’m going to have a contest.  I really need to rehome some things like all this fun yarn.  I’ve also got a couple packs of fancy paper to give away, but haven’t photo’d those.  Since most of my friends online are stampers, and quite a few of those stampers also like to knit or crochet…  well, what better way to rehome this yarn stash than by a giveaway?

Here it is divided up into sorted piles:

Just so no one is surprised, I may keep the boucle.  That first photo is the 3 bags I brought from my house tipped out on top of the washer.

Now I just have to decide how to run the contest! LOL!

And you don’t have to register. Am I that boring that no one wants to comment?

Earlier in the summer a toad was living in between the front door and the storm door. We rarely use that door, so it was a pretty safe place.

But then he almost got stepped on and woke up too early. Since then he is living somewhere else. I suspect under the cat house.

This is where he sits every night unless cats scare him off.

He will in fact switch dishes if the cats bother him… there are 2 other water dishes on the porch. That’s gotta be a shock to a cat going to get a drink, lol! Ack, a toad is using my water as a swimmy pool!

An update on the baby birds: they are gone. I suspect Blue Jays raided the nest. Very sad, but it wasn’t a great place for a nest anyhow.

Drove over to Eureka Springs with my daughter this afternoon. Had a nice visit with Sara of Paper Odyssey, and of course bought a few things. I had a gift silk scarf for her, but then wanted to show her some others, and she ended up buying a big purple one from me… my favorite “galaxy” silk.

Tomorrow my daughter Sarah and I will dye a bunch more silk scarves. They are one of my best sellers at the farmers market.

Oh, and our neighbor gifted me with 2 grocery bags full of cukes. Nice slicer cukes. Looks like I’m gonna be making pickles. He also told me to PLEASE come over and pick veggies. He’s got a great big garden, but it’s just him, and there are enough veggies there to feed a small town of people. I told him he went a bit insane… but heck, it looks like I’m going to get all the veggies I can eat… and I’ll take some to the farmers market to sell. Will give Brent the money. I’ll have to get out there in the morning, tho… heat of the day is no time to be trying to pick veggies!

Well, this is all for tonight…. :)

I’ve known this gal for a long time… and while all I make any more is earrings for myself… well, she deserves a spot in my crafty blog links.

Which I’m doing now.
