Wow it’s the end of March already!

Wow it's the end of March already!

Okay so when I decided to do the Made Monday feature I really did not intend that to be the only blogging I do during the week… That seems to be how it has shipped up as of late. I have been really busy and to be utterly honest a bit depressed and I am very thankful  that I have the Made Monday’s because it gives me expectation… i can ignore the blog EXCEPT for mondays.

I hope you have been enjoying the made mondays as much as I have they are really cool I think and I get to explore etsy and other shops like that. If you have bought something from one of our sellers let me know. I would love to share some of YOUR experiences with the other readers.  Also if you want me to feature your product please feel free to contact me via the contact button on the upper left.

I have been spinning, I recently got Jacey Boggs‘s DVD Sit and Spin and dug out some fibre and went to work.  An hour later I had this wonderful Corespun wool with cocoons which you can all learn how to spin with her dvd.

$7.50 – $20  USD

This is one of those sites that I wandered upon and instantly DIED! The hand carded batts are utter lucsious and going oh so cheap! Actually this is one of those shops where you want to buy everything you see and run before the shop keeper realizes she put the wrong price on everything. Handspun yarn for fifteen dollars, hand dyed sock yarn in simple but deadly beautiful solids eighteen dollars, hand carded batts seven fifty to eight dollars! Seriously! I feel absolutely speechless and  like there is nothing I can really say besides ZOMG! I so want a kilo of Myria to make a sweater with!!!  I hope you enjoy Amy’s Rainbow and much as I do. My only wish was that I had more money to buy her out of everything!!

Hand Dyed Sock Yarn

Where:

Big Cartel

Location:

USA

Price Range:

$30 USD

Look at that yarn just looooook at it! Those sparkles yeah that’s silver like real silver and if that wasn’t enough merino is also blended with silk! The total fibers in this specific yarn happen to be: 63% Superwash Merino, 20% Silk, 15% Nylon, and 2% Pure Silver Strand. Talk about a luxery yarn… This is a yarn you buy to knit yourself socks, or maybe for someone very very special. Lotus Yarns is an amazing like ZOMG indie dyer, who has thus far the most unique sock blend I have found.  I will admit I do not yet have some of this luscious yarn, mostly cause the economy right now is soooo screwed up that US Purchases right now are out of the question. You better believe that when the kiwi dollar bounces back soem I will SO be buying a bunch of that hmmm yeah! She has lots of pretty colours that I would call semi solids, or lightly varigated, and all in such amazing tones that make me want need colours that even I wouldn’t normaly like. Want to see these yarns in person she will be at Summer Sock Summit(you know how unfair it is that this is being launches this summer when i will be saving up for my wedding and thus NOT traveling to the US to goto it)!

Boys buy yer girl something from this site an I INSURE you she will be very happy. I could simply go on and on about this jewelry, but my favorite thing about it is that while they would all make any special day outfit that more stunning, they will also make everday you have it on a special day.

Hypoallergenic Mineral Make Up

Where:

Etsy

Location:

USA(specifically Ohio)

Price Range:

$3.50 USD

Look at that makeup! This is one of those things that I was alerted to by the seller through a common group we are on. I had a look at her colours and fell in love. There are several things about this makeup that just makes me go gaga. First that it’s a mineral makeup meaning you get great coverage and the little jars will last you forever! Second that it is made especially with those of use with sensitive skin in mind and shouldn’t cause any allergic reactions. Lastly that she lists all of the ingredients, and most of them are vegan, she lets you know if a certain colour is not vegan!! I will admit that as of now I don’t have any of these actually in my hands but oh do I plan to change that and I will give you all and update! I alsolike that they are extremely affordable at $3.50 that is the ceapest you are ever going to get ANY mineral eyeshadow, I think she also plans on making some foundation, or at least i hope so!
