a hand-dyed soul

There are days when my soul is completely drenched in dye where I cant be anyone else but a hand dyer. I am a colour palette daydreamer and this is my soul when I close my eyes.

Shop update...there will be a store stocking in the next few days, and these knitters balms will be released in the next 3 weeks...Im just getting them tested by three beautiful full time knitters. They are all natural and smell and feel amazing.

sorry for the lateness of my little blog update I've had my hands tainted with dyes for several days.

My Creative Space late again lol

Another creeper thursday, Im late again, but its ok the fact of the matter is, I made it! Some of you who have seen mums post know we have been unwell! and a few personal crisis later and Im back in the world...I've been MIA for a week! Soph thought I was dead hehe but alas here I am, with a bucket load of pretties.

On my desk atm is Yarn, seems to be a theme..maybe I have an addiction! I've been playing in the dyepots and dyeing up yarn club and dreaming up a few new things that will be released very soon. A little late for my 1 year of blogging! which was yesterday (giveaway on the way aswell keep your eyes peeled) 

Here are a few little odds and ends that have emerged from the cauldron.

'Toxic Watermelon' - She has a home all the way in the USA!

and 'Lock and Key Princess' - She also has a home, same lady all love! Another two to be sent off never to see me again! gosh this yarn is like my children! Well children that get put in the mircrowave and hung out to dry but children no less! 

also on my desk are some yarnies goodnesses! I won a blog giveaway from the delightful Peta's Blog 
this beautiful scarf which I adore!! and this project bag hit my doorstep! I love good project bag. its now pride of place in my handbag with blanket yarn in it for knitting on the go! speaking of the adorable blanket! The donations have touched my heart.

this was just one days worth of yarn from all different women! I love scraps! and when Im dont, I shall pass them on to other blanket knitters in need!

For more creative spaces Check out Kootoyoo's Blog jump in and have a look around!

BlogWatch - A little Cafe with your Yarn.

Todays little blog watch is closer to home! I thought it was time I featured an Aussie Yarnie! and this week I have found the perfect yarnista for your eyes to feast on! In a nook far off into the internet, was the lovely Elissa, and her Blog/Shop

With colourways that make you want to squeel with delight, and delishious base yarns from all walks of life, this little blog and store has a little something for every yarnaholic. As a dyer myself, I always look for something that screams joy

 and beauty, every image on this delightful little blog evokes just that...how can you not smile, at a rainbow of yarn.

Hold your breath a little longer, and take a look at the stunning gradient yarns elissa has featured on her blog.

Her blog has yarn perves no matter where you look, down the sidebar are all her zingy colourways, in each post is some form of yarn beauty! 

She just released a beautiful set of green yarns, in all shades and all yarn bases. This skein below is 60% Baby Alpaca 30% Merino 10% Bamboo, who wouldnt want to knit with this!

You can find her treasure chest of yarn at her quaint little online shop

(apologies, seems my photo links are being a bum and wont link, so please use the text instead, tar!) 

She describes her world as...

and I couldn't agree with her more...make a cup of tea, and jump into her world, you wont regret it, purchase some yarn and some delishious chocolate while you are in her shop, be a yarn glutton I wont tell, hehe
