As promised, here is a preview of what will be listed in the shop tomorrow morning. Larger images can be found on Flickr…

See you at 10:00am EST!!

Individual pictures are available for viewing on Flickr. Or feel free to check the ‘Photos’ page for the slide show – that is if you want to – it is your choice really.

I am just so excited about this batch because it is the largest batch of painted fiber to date. Plus I figured out how to effectively and efficiently dye up a full pound of the same colourway at a time !! Think phrases like “a sweaters worth of fiber” or perhaps “Phat Fiber Sampler”  or my personal favorite: “ITW (Into The Whirled) Fiber club” …

Remind me to tell you about the past couple of weeks!

But right now I need to jump right back into the swing of things…

I am posting some new pictures to Flickr as I type this, then will add them to the Ravelry database, then – yes, then – I will have some new items on Etsy. Some, not lots. I assure you that pounds of dyed top are waiting to be carded into batts!

Here is hint of today’s Etsy listings:

They always say ‘it is the little things’ that [insert thought provoking idea]….

Well, they are right.

So, obviously I am starting my own indie fiber arts business – what may be obvious to some, and not others is all that actually goes into getting the word out. The internet is HUGE. There are blogs to write in, twitters to tweet upon, flickr’s to post pictures to. The list is almost endless – and to top it off, logo’s do not design themselves.

Well, guess what I learned yesterday: It is the little milestones (or to keep with the theme – ‘little things’) along the way that remind us as to why we take on such responsibilities.

Last night, I returned home to find that for the very first time – someone other then myself not only used my company name, but took a picture of fiber that I created in their home and went so far as to post in on Ravelry with links to my under construction Etsy shop! Wait, it does not stop there – remember how I mentioned that whole “flikr’s to post pictures to” thing – well, they posted that picture on their flickr account!

[Oh and if your wondering - yes, I did take a screen shot]

I embraced that excitement and, well, maybe got greedy for more. Off to Etsy I clicked. And yes, there was love. Three to be exact. Three people heart my little work in progress!!

[And yes, I took a screen shot of that too]

… it is after all the little things that make it all worth while.

You may have already noticed the neat little slide show up in the right corner that links to my Flickr acounnt; but, I decided to give you a link anyway!

So go check it out, lots of fiber in its colour glory!
