Tempted by my own rainbow!

Well, I thought that since this batch was only size 20, I would leave it alone.  But, it just looks too good!
So, I took a break from my studies to tat this little beauty.

The pattern of course is Frivole's Papillon!
and the thread is my own Tat-ilicious "Rainbow-licious" size 20.

I love these colors!  They are so bright and cheerful!  I think I will keep this little gem with me tomorrow when I go take my Biochem test. 
Maybe it will keep me from stressing out too bad. :o)

Rainbow-licious is here!!

OKay!  This batch is only size 20.  I did dye 30 of them though.  I only listed 15 though.
Once everyone that reserved one or however many gets theirs I will list the other 15.
That's the easiest way I know to do it.

So, if you reserved a skein, or two, you can purchase them now.  If by chance you go to the shop and they are sold out, I have others that have been set aside.  I really didn't forget to set one aside for you.



I will be doing more in other sizes.  I want to do some of the bigger skeins in size 60 and 80.  I will also do a few size 40s.  There is a couple of 40s in the shop now, but they are from the last batch.

SS Winner 3, and SS Giveaway Post #4

Whew! This is fun, right?
So, there were 89 entries into this last giveaway, 
and Third time just happened to be a charm for 

Congratulations Shannon!
Please email your address and your color / size preference to 
jess.d.foster@gmail.com

Just a Random Photo for fun:
I don't really know what this is, it looks like either a huge megaphone, or
like Livi is about to written on by a really huge pencil tip!


Now, You know the drill at this point. 
But, since, you might get tired of just stating your desire to have your name thrown in the pot again, how about this time around, to have your name entered into the pot again :
Comment what you had for breakfast!

For NEXT week, be thinking about your favorite holiday tradition, but we'll save the sentiments for next week and just have some fun this week!


I did not have breakfast this morning!  I don't particularly like breakfast in fact.  I really REALLY dislike bacon, and only slightly tolerate sausage.  But, I do appreciate a good waffle or pancake as long as they have no syrup on them and I in company that won't look at me like I'm an alien if I pick mine up and eat it like a piece of bread.
Though, I will say that people don't tend find my waffle/ pancake eating habits nearly as strange as when I pick up a steak and eat it the same way.  I just don't like cutting my food.  

If I am going to go some where fancy, where picking up a steak and eating it by hand is unacceptable, I will have someone cut it up for me. :o)

** UPDATE:  Yes, I plan to add commentary to everyone's breakfast!  Why? Because I just recently enabled replies... and I have lots of questions!"**

Newness and such

At this very moment, I have a sinus headache.  But, I have been moving all day in fear that I might just collapse from fatigue. Have you ever felt like that?
So, what did I do?  Well, first I got Livi to school and then I went to school....

Then I started this:



Then I received this in the mail!  It's so pretty!! Thank you so much Frivole/ LaCossette!
It's a Clover shuttle with Cherry Blossoms!! I love everything about this shuttle!  It's so fabulous! :o)

But anyway, back to my schedule, then I wrote up two data reports for Genetics Lab and then finished this:

Overall I love it! It was fun to make and didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would.


However, I seriously need to do something about this part:

This part is not working for me. At ALL!

I thought about not posting pictures of this, because I may give it away as a Christmas present and some of my family does read the blog.  But, I like it, so I may keep it.  But, who knows.

Anyway, does any one have any suggestions how to neatly add a bead toggle??

Rainbow-licious Reservations

Hello Everyone!!

I got a request today for more Rainbow-licious.  As you may already know, any time I've done Rainbow-licious, the size 20 sells out really really fast.  Since it's not the easiest colorway to dye, I would rather do a bunch at one time.  So, would anyone else like to reserve a skein/s before I start dyeing??
I will be winding skeins this week and hopefully get dyeing next week.

You can email me your request if you prefer to do it that way.  It makes no difference to me.  My email is located on my Blogger profile or you can message me through Etsy.

This is what the last batch looked like for reminders. :o)

Sorrel Splendour hits the shop!

I mentioned a while back that I had tried to do a regular colorway for Sorrel Spendour.  It turned out to "Christmas-y"
I personally love Christmas, but I do not like the traditional red and green colored Christmas.

So, overdyed the batch and fixed it.
I have listed them in my Etsy shop.  I raised to price on them temporarily.  They are set at $9 but once I take down the THANKSGIVING coupon tommorrow, they will be the regular $7.20.
I didn't figure I would be doing myself any favors by letting these brand new skeins go at the super low price.

I'm sure you understand. :o)
