so you can make clothes & other pretty things”
Cyndi Minister

I was born in England, grew up in California, had an extended stay in Vermont, and now call Arkansas home.  Um yeah, I have a really messed up accent.

I have three boys, a fun-loving dog, and a wonderful husband who I couldn’t manage without.  My life’s turned upside down about 95% of the time.  Living upside down definitely makes life much more interesting.

I’m an avid knitter and full-time spinner.  Most knitters have yarn stashes, well, “stash” for me, would be an understatement.  My sister calls me “The Crazy Yarn Lady” and I sheepishly admit, it’s true.

Handmade Yarn

Knitting introduced me to yarn.  A new love affair spawned.  I wanted all the yarn I could get my hands on and then I wanted more.  Learning to hand paint yarn and then spin my own seemed to be the most natural next steps.  Of course next would be owning a sheep or heck, a whole fiber farm…a girl can always dream.

After years of doing craft shows and festivals we are offering more handmade items all the time.  Shoot me an email if you’d like to talk handmade yarn, felted soap, and things.

I would love to do a yarn demonstration for your group or have a booth at your upcoming event.  Please shoot me an email and let me know your needs.  I’d love to have you join in our handmade journey on Facebook.

I’m just a simple girl on a mission to enable Yarnaholics all around the world by producing handmade yarn and other fiber creations for others to use & enjoy.  Happy crafting!
