Hiatus?  Really?  No, not really, just no time to take pics or post new projects lately.  I've been working on an original technique that I'm not ready to share yet, trying to perfect it so I can make a kit to sell.  Craig is a big believer in "make it once, sell it over and over", and he's right, sort of.  My kit will include both a bit of handmade (by me) parts, commercial parts, and a pattern to put it all together.  So it'll still be unique to TemptressYarn of course.  Details coming in a few weeks, I hope--I'm not much of a graphic designer and not sure how to put an instruction booklet together for printing.  That part will be hard.  I may try to find someone to help with that part...will see.

I've also been working like crazy to get some Springy things made to take to my Sister Amy's gallery in Greenport, NY:  Winterharborstudio is on Main Street, open weekends and a few other days and for Greenport's monthly gallery walks. (And I need to update her web site to reflect all that and more!)   I've been doing some lightweight felting, knit and crochet handbags and I hope to finish a few spring shawls and scarf ufo's that have been kicking around here.  Will go pull the wintry things next weekend and swap them out, or at least that's the plan. My friend Jen has been making some new felt soaps to stock up there as well--so to add color to the site, here's a pic I swiped from her web site, LillyZoo.com   She is also on Etsy as Lillyzoo :

She has some easier technique that works in her washing machine for felting soaps so I envy her that.  Soap felting is work....well, maybe not hard work but lots of time for little profit, so anything that makes it faster/easier is the way to go.  Customers literally eat them up, so it's great to have a stock (well, maybe not literally eating them, but you know what I mean).  Anyhow,  my washing machine ate the soaps when I tried to make them in there...can you say "shrinkage?"  So I have to do them by hand, which means I rarely get around to it.

Off to finish our TAXES, eeeeeew.  And then housework and fiber fun (that should be sometime around Thursday, I think).  With luck I'll get some fun things to look at here in the next few days...
