I've been busy this week mostly winding yarn...lots of yarn!...
1... for my current knitting project...
2... for the Christmas Making giveaway (starting next week)...
3... for Tearoom Doll kits...
(my yarn swift and winder have definitely got to be the
the most used things in my workroom these days ;-) )
(* and for anyone who has inquired about doll kits they will be available here on the blog

(* and for anyone who has inquired about doll kits they will be available here on the blog
just as soon as I've put them all together ... hopefully within the next week x)
I've also been brightening up (and tidying up!) my workroom
and have finally painted the little drawers pictured up there too...
they've been sitting on my shelves waiting to be smartened up for
far too long and are now a pretty pale cobalt blue shade ...
(and at last my embroidery threads will be organised!)
and so...
I'll be back next week with news of the
Christmas Making Giveaway
...along with other things...

DeleteHello Susan - you have some lovely yarn colours there! So pretty - I thought the blue self-patterning yarn in your last post was so gorgeous, too! What brand is that - I haven't seen colour like that before! Always look forward to your new patterns and projects, and your wool wider must be worth it's weight in gold by now!
ReplyDeleteHave a gorgeous week!
Lynda.
Hi Lynda...the yarn in the last post is Cascade Heritage yarn...I can't remember the exact details right now as I've been using many different ones in the last couple of weeks but have the details saved and will definitely let you know about all the ones I've used for that project ;-) ♥ Happy Sunday xx
DeleteIt will be fun to see what you will make with that pretty yarn with the spots of color. What a gorgeous workroom you have! I have a room where my art supplies reside but it's not very pretty, actually. :-) ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteWell I do remember your workroom Teresa when you had been on a tidying spree yourself and I definitely think it is ...and I'm sure there's a lovely view from your window too ♥ :-) xx
DeleteYou have such a pretty work room ......... and I love your knitted dolls; they're so cute 😀
ReplyDeleteJulia xx
Thank you Julia...I love making dolls...in fact, I have another one but only in my head at the moment! ♥ xx
DeleteWhat pretty yarn! I imagine winding yarn would be quite a peaceful task.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a lovely weekend x
...except when I get too enthusiastic and I somehow end up with a tangle under the winder....not a good moment! ;-)
DeleteHappy Sunday ♥..xx
Absolutely adore those colours together! Have a lovely week. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny...some of my favourites ♥
DeleteHappy New Week to you and yours xx
There is so much beauty to be found in that room! I good gaze around all day! Love your organization. I'm trying to get mine back under control so that I can work without feeling stressed! I have a yarn winder and swift on my birthday/Christmas lists and can't wait to not have to do it all by hand anymore!
ReplyDeleteYou will wonder how you ever managed without them Jen ;-) ...Have a lovely new week ♥ xx
DeleteGorgeous yarn and gorgeous colours! Your pictures are so pretty to see Susan! I love my yarn winder too and the little yarn cakes it winds so quickly :) Wishing you a happy week.
ReplyDeleteHelen xox
Thank you lovely Helen (it's a great time saver, isn't it?)...Happy new week to you ♥ xx
DeleteSo many luscious colours, Susan. Your fingers may well be itching to start knitting.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Yes...looking forward to knitting with these lovely colours this week Karen...hope you have a lovely new week too ♥ xxx
DeleteAlways so beautiful! I've toyed with buying a ball winder for a few years, but then I've started reading reviews and drawn a blank. I have a swift which my Dad made for me...thankfully I had mark2 which had its own bearings...my mum had mark1 which needed to be put on a whirly chair....makes me laugh out loud still when I think about it :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I love to look at photos of wool on a wool winder
ReplyDeleteYiur little drawers painted up beautifully too
OH those xmas bears are sooo adorable. Would be absolutely amazing to win. :-) I have now completed two Candy Bears, one rabbit bear and now starting a little girl one. Love Love Love them. My mission is to do every single one of them eventually.
ReplyDeleteA dream gift from you - so I'll dream on......
ReplyDeleteWith love

ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful work. I made already the little dolls and also the candy bear. I am a dutch fan of your work. I also love this beautiful christmas bear. The colors of the yarn are very pretty. Thank you for all the beatiful dolls, mice, bears you have designed and made. Xxx Yvonne Lin
