and I am so sorry for that.  I have not posted to the blog here in weeks.  We’ve had quite a few weeks of eventfulness here.  As I meantioned in my last post, I am closing shop on Beeba Bottoms.  though I think I would still offer embroidery service within limits.  I have been running a destash sale on my favorite diaper-making message board for the past week, and have recouped a lot of money, from some fabrics I had almost forgotten I had.  Really, with the business closing, I needed to destash a lot of it… it was just too much.

Of course, this money means I can invest more into my fiber Business, Crystal City Fibers.  and I am investing.  I am buying a drum carder, just as soon as the rest of the money form the destash comes in.

I’ll also be looking to sell off one of my sewing machines, and possibly my poor, neglected fidelis wheel.  between the 2 items, I will have plenty to invest further into more fibers and yarns.

Now, eventually, it would be nice if some of these fibers and yarns were to sell.  With that in mind, there is a new yarn everyday challenge on.  And here are some pictures to go with the challenge. :)

June 1, spun on some fiber from one of the many swaps I am participating in:

yarn-everyday-6-1June 2, finished the bobbin from the day before, and drafted out the slightly compacted (though not felted) fiber for the second bobbin.

June 3, revived some long forgotten fiber that I had been spinning up on my also moslty forgotten fidelis.  this wheel is such a good little wheel, and I neglect it so… I feel guilty.

June 4, spun more on the swap fiber.

June 5,  OMGoodness!  I don;t think I have a picture for the 5th!!  well, I spun more on that same fiber… several hours.  I got it all spun up, so that on the 6th, I could do this:

and with that, the fullest bobbin I have ever done on the bug (a whopping 6.5 ounces, and I could have fit just a little bit more on), I will leave off for today, with the mention that I will update again very soon, adding more yarn everyday, and more good crafty, or family fun!
