Well! Just about 5 days until Christmas, that means I have been busy! Plus with a friend from Texas in town, Birthday Lunch for another friend, an Interview, and more Etsy sales than I have been used to, its going to be a great week!

I feel like while I have gotten a lot done, I do feel like I have been neglecting the blog and the shop a little. It has been hard to keep up with everything when my natural flow of school and everything has been disrupted so much! I have worked on a few things this week though!

I did some dyeing this week, and got some great results! Look for this one in the shop soon!

I also played with my findings and such again this week. Each time I play, I feel like its getting easier for me to put these together without so much though and over thinking of everything!

I did a ton of drum carding of fiber this weekend. Way more then what is pictured. I did these for a project I am doing for the Toy Soldier army. I wanted to make roving inspired by Dr.Steel, then spin it and knit it into something.

See, I told you I did a lot,  I actually did this pile times two, because I carded a ton for my mom also! 

Its turning into such pretty yarn already! Look for it in the shop soon as well!

Experiments

The busy keeps on going! Working on some of the final projects for Steamcon and my Client.  I also played for the first time with the idea of printing on fabric from a printer using freezer paper. I want to do clothing tags for my work and I love the idea of being able to design my own patches, etc.

This was just test number one, I used old fabric I had around and simple vectors for a project I am working on.  It was to light of a fabric and one sheet had a problem with the printer because of that. You also have to worry a lot about making sure that the whole sheet is cut as exact as possible. I'm still going to use the sheets I have printed, I kind of like the way they turned out!

Im gonna go pick up some other fabric and try again tomorrow!

Not a calm day in sight!

I have been super busy this week trying to finish some projects up before Steamcon! I have also been invited to be on board with this years Addy Awards committee! I am super excited to be a part of it all!

I did have some downtime today to play with some older photos I took.
