So, since Beeba 3 was born a few weeks ago, I have slowly been working on getting back into gear. With that, I decided to open up at a new venue. New, at least, for Crystal City Fibers. I am opening a HyenaCart Shop. I am planning (maybe too ambitiously, but we shall see) for a grand Opening on June 23.
Now, I say maybe too ambitiously, because after all, I have a newborn here. Not only that, but I have an out of state wedding to be at on the 19th, and 2 older kids who want constant attention. But darn it, I am going to try.
The new shop is located here. Don’t worry, The Etsy Shop is not going anywhere. But this way, I will be able to offer giveaways easier, as well as being able to take advantage of the HC stocking calendar.
I am making batts, dyeing fibers, and creating in general as productively as I can to be ready for the big Grand Opening, at which you can expect to find at least one giveaway.

Now, I know everyone loves baby pictures, right? So here are a few more of Beeba 3.
Big Brother wants to hold Beeba 3 all the time...
and Beeba 3 is starting to make little smiles... is it gas? is it happy? maybe both?
He does love his hands...
And last, a picture that is not Beeba 3, OR one of my products… This is a Temari ball that my mom made for my little Beeba 3. Temari is an ancient art form, the balls are made from nothing, starting with a core of some sort, either yarn, a smaller ball, or sometimes jingle bells or rattlers… wrapped in first more yarn, then thread… and after the ball is complete in form (which takes some time in itself) then the design is added. In this case, the design is made using some commercial yarns and threads, and a bit of my handspun as well. A truly unique toy for my little one. Mom is thinking of opening a shop selling these and her OOAK beaded jewelry… what do you think?
Pretty, isn't it?
And now, till later, I bid you fare well, and I am off to work on some oceana batts of merino and silk.
