Busy as a Bee
Whew....what a busy weekend!
My wonderful hubby made me this skein winder. He was so proud of himself. lol I need to take better photo. This was with my cell. So I was able to wind some of the TONS of coned yarn I have. I have a lot of coned chenille. I have been experimenting with dying it this weekend. Photos soon. and I have also figured out that if I soak it and dry it, it fluffs up an looks much nicer. Hopefully some of this will be up on my etsy site this week.
I also finally got a photo of this Upcycled Jean Jacket. It will be on Etsy tomorrow, I forgot to see what size it is. I crocheted all the trim with Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece yarn.
I have another jacket done in pink that I need to photograph and also some yarn posting this week. I have also been putting books on Amazon.com and have already sold 5 books. So the spring cleaning is going good and so is my life, busy, but good!

I love Etsy
After several years, I finally put stuff in my Esty shop. I haven't sold anything yet, but it has only been a few days...
But my creative monster has been awoken! I have been cleaning out my home and shed of all the craft/art/junk stuff that has been stuffed away since we moved into this little bitty 640 sq ft home 5 years ago and I have found all kinds of stuff!
I used to do mosiac and handpainted some as well. I got those up tonite...now I am itching to paint.
I have also listed a bunch of books on Amazon and sold a bunch on line. I have been a pretty busy bee.
Now my life would be wonderful if I could figure out how to find some money to use to turn the studio into a yarn shop! All I need is money for yarn. Thought I had a loan, but they told me today that since I am a Realtor that they can't loan me money. I guess it is because I work off of commission. But they could look at the taxes and see that I have made more each year for the past 4 years...but whatever. So short of hitting the lottery or some long lost relative kicking the bucket, I am at a loss. Any ideas? I would love to hear therm.
Michael has been tutoring at KCC, our Jr College as well as student teaching all day and so he is gone like 12 hours a day...I can't wait till fall when he will just be a teacher! At least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel..FINALLY
Well, off to read a bit before bed! Hope it was a good hump day for you too!

Behind the scenes look at the making of a sweater
I found this funny video today at Mason-Dixon Knitting. I really need to go to Scotland and get me a Pringle Sweater! Okay I guess I better clarify....I need to get Michael a sweater from Pringle! lol
I am working my fingers to the bone to get stuff done for the Etsy shop, but it is slow going! Hope all is going good with you.

Spring Cleaning has Come Early
My Esty store is finally up and running. The name is LileesGramKnits. I have some Coned yarn there and my handspun and some kids jeans that I have Upcycled.
Here is a preview. Take a look and let me know what you think!
These are upcycled jeans, what I mean by that is I buy them 2nd hand, wash them and then add the fabric and embroidery etc to make the old new again! I am also working on some jean jackets coming soon! Also, I am happy to do custom work, so if you have a need or idea, just drop me a line!
