In the beginning…

Ya know, I look at other blogs, designers knitting (and completing!) many projects, taking family vacations, going to SAFF, TNNA, etc. And me? I’m home, my spinning wheel (well, the new one) is at the LYS on display until I get over there tomorrow or Friday, I am working on making sure gauge and sts are right on a pattern that is with one of the test knitters, and playing around with 3 week old kittens!

My daughter is out with my parents, readying their camper for the upcoming week long camping trip but staying local. She’s going for 3 days and then my parents are alone for another 4 days. I have no vacation plans- my hubby is home for 24 hrs every three days and is working hard to take care of us.

I called this one “in the beginning” because that’s what I feel this is. My Spinnings shop is just really beginning and there are things coming up that will be showing in my web and etsy store.

But I do feel I am just beginning. We’ll see where we go from here!

Hello!

Hi! I am going to take this opportunity to introduce myself… I’m Mariah, a knitting, spinning,designing, painting, photographing, card making mom of a (almost!) seven year old daughter, and wife of a locomotive engineer. Some of you visiting here may already be familiar with my site, www.freewebs.com/dragonflyknitdesigns , or my Ravelry id, dragonflyknit. I did a blog about a year ago, but I wanted to put the energy into furthering my business at that time. Now, I have a new site, more streamlined and directed. Please visit it!

Pets? Oh yes, I have 5 cats, one of which gave birth to 3 kittens 3 weeks ago, a dog, and an angora bunny that has the run of the house and rules it!

I just got my Mach 1 spinning wheel and I have another antique spinning wheel from France.  I am doing some production spinning to finance my dyeing and designing business.

This is going to be a bit short now, and there will be more later- today I am enjoying the first quiet, everybody else gone day since the last day of school! Daughter will be back this evening and hubby will be back tomorrow!

Time to warm up the coffee, happy knitting, spinning…..
