in my mailbox today!


I am so excited! I got 1.5 kilo's of BFL today! and I got a lb of Certified organic gaia wool that is already almost all skeined out. that stuff is so soft!! I also got a line counter to tell me how many yards I've skeined off. Right now as I speak.. uhum type my wonderful husband is making me a yarn swift so I can get the rest of the yarn skeined out in a timely manner! I will be a dyeing fool all week! My grand opening on the crunchy congo went really well. I almost all sold out. There's still one more skein left of "baby dust" on peruvian wool. If noone buys it though I'll just have to knit it up myself. I sewed lily a dress last night. It's a reversable pinafore dress. It's just adorable! I am going to e making madelyn a matching one and if there is enough fabric left I plan on making my niece a matching one too! Ok back to dyeing.

cutest thing!


I got this adorable headband in the mail today from a wonderful woman. She knew madelyn has no hair so she made this band that you can hook a bow onto! Seriously adorable! I just had to post it! Lily and I also got matching aprons. and Madelyn got a bib that matches our aprons. I couldn't have been more excited going to my mailbox today!

Shuree's Little Yarn Barn

Will be joining the Crunchy congo. at crunchycongo.com I will be testing the waters with this in the hopes of opening my Own shop soon. I will have my first stocking on March 4th at noon! I plan on having some Lovely BFL stocking in some georgous spring colors! So much to do so little time!

Decided on a name

I've decided on a name for my little online yarn shop. I have decided to call it The little Yarn Barn. What do you think? I had a lot of great names. some were silly some were wonderful but sounded to much like another store. I know there's a yarn barn already in ks. but I think I'm going to add on and I hope it doesn't upset the yarn barn in lawrence.
today was a beautiful day in kansas! the weather was in the 70s and we took a great bike ride!!

wahoo!!!

Ok so I've not posted because I've been working my ass off. Literally! I've lost 4 pounds this week. How exciting! I did a turbo kick class this am. that was a great time!

I was recently asked if I would be interested in joining a congo on hyena cart as a Yarn vendor. I would really like to do this and am just waiting to see if I am accepted by all the members. I really enjoy dyeing my yarn and have sold some of it. Here's an example of what I did on some Bluefaced leicaster yarn. oh so yummy! dying is more satisfying than knitting for me. It's instant and I like instant!



This Colorway Is what I call "out to sea" I sold it before getting to see what it looked like knitted up.
