September Update: New Yarn, New Video Coming Soon

“Adapt, adjust, and move with the tide.” — Unknown

My Most Hectic Month

Several skeins of colorful yarn are hanging on wooden hangers. Each skein displays a mix of vibrant hues, including shades of blue, green, yellow, pink, and purple. The yarns are neatly organized and ready for crafting. The background shows a wooden floor.
New Handspun Yarn is ready to be listed – keep an eye on this space or in my Etsy shop 🙂

September is typically my most hectic month personally, with appointments, harvesting and preserving food from my garden, family obligations, and celebrations. This month was no exception—in fact, it was busier than usual.

Because of this, I’m behind on my monthly how-to blog post and video, and I don’t want to rush it. There has been zero time to work on anything extra, and by the end of the day I’m too tired to do anything except spinning or reading.

In exciting news, I have some new handspun yarn ready to be listed as soon as I can take some photos. And I’ve been spinning more regularly again, so more should be coming soon. Unless I create handspun for a specific project, I typically put it up for grabs on my website and some on Etsy. I will de-list anything that I decide to use personally down the road, but I haven’t been doing much knitting or crocheting these days. I prefer to dye and blend fiber or spin. There are only so many hours in the day!

A colorful greeting card is displayed on a wooden table. The card features an illustration of a bowl of noodles with chopsticks and decorative elements. Text on the card reads "hey there hot stuff" at the top and "have a soup-er day" at the bottom. Books and other items are visible in the background.

Holiday Discounts & Sales – Heads Up

For October and November, I plan to have sales here and on my Etsy shop to encourage early holiday sales. After that, I will not plan another sale until the New Year. I haven’t yet decided what the discounts will be. I struggle with sales because my prices are already straddling the line since everything is getting expensive. I’m trying to keep things reasonably priced but fair to me. It’s tough for us all.

Two tall sunflowers stand among lush green foliage in a garden. The sunflowers have bright yellow petals and green stems. Trees with dense foliage are in the background under a clear blue sky. A few other plants and a black pot with greens are visible nearby.
I’m enjoying the last days of my garden. These super tall sunflowers were planted late, and I’m so glad. The bees are enjoying this late-season treat as well.

I’ve rebooted my Instagram if you want to stay up to date on new products

I stopped posting on Instagram a few years ago, but I’ve decided to start posting my products and updates there again. Unfortunately, I don’t have much time for interactions, but if you have Instagram, please follow me for updates.

I will hopefully be back with new content soon…
