Publishing 2 posts today but I’d just rather make the most of the free time ahead for once, with both girls asleep and hopefully recovering from the cold and ear infection they caught last week. They’ve had plenty of time inside and rest but I guess they’re just tired of this first trimester of school/daycare…
Today [...]

My Kureyon Roselette got featured in a “Smitten” Treasury this morning.. :-D

Tada, our “dayjob” website MonEscapade is finally online, Yay ! So now the big job begins, finding new listings for the site (B&B and gîtes owners in France) and marketing the site to get a decent PR (pagerank) asap.. will keep me busy for a while, I tell you..! :-P
So, while I’ll be working [...]

I recently became obsessed with textured batts and fiber. Spent hours drooling over some on Etsy, indulged in one lot, and started daydreaming about the day when I can afford to buy a drum carder… Then I found Laurel’s handmade hackles (she’s part of my Fiber swap group) and got mesmerized by this video showing [...]

Unfortunately it seems my download system for [...]

My new toy, a Mother Marion kick spindle, arrived this morning, YAY !! :-D
I so can’t wait to play with it !! :-P

So I did ply my single with a strand of lilac Aurore. I really like the outcome (and I got 92 m this time, Yay !!). So much so that I ended up listing it on Etsy (not as in “I don’t like it so let’s sell it” but rather as in “wow, it’s actually [...]

hello, just a quick note to say we’re leaving this afternoon for an extended week-end in my parent’s bungalow on the Riviera. Wish us some sun and warm weather.. :-P

Of course I’m taking my spindle with me and some colorful fiber. Those were spun from my Pancake and lulu kit. Love them but [...]
