Where it all began...
In the summer of 2017, we purchased a summer home in Maine. There is a cute garden shed on the property, and while cleaning it out, I kept envisioning it as my own place. I have since made it my own little yarn dyeing shed.
In 2018, my husband and I retired, and I dyed yarn! I could not begin to use it all! As a registered nurse, I am used to being busy, and I was worried I may not be ready for this new season of life.
A long time crocheter, I'm learning to knit - socks have become a favorite! I spend my days planning, writing, knitting, crocheting, reading, crafting and listening to audio books.
Each new day brings new opportunities and new challenges. Many years ago, a friend passed along some great advice. She said to incorporate something for "your mind, your body, and your soul," in each day. Setting this agenda has become part of my daily ritual.
I have so much to accomplish, to learn, to teach ...so much more to create!
Opening this shop has allowed me to create and to share with others, and hopefully, put some of this beautiful yarn to good use!
My mantra while dyeing is, “one for me and one for you," or "two for me and two for you," etc. During the winter months in Pennsylvania, I will also be dyeing yarn to make beautiful hats, sweaters and socks (of course!). I will be putting that same yarn on this shop, for you to also enjoy!
My wish for you is to learn something new, embrace it and love it! Let it be your "Happy Place", somewhere to hide for just a little while from all of your worries and cares. Something for your mind, your body, and your soul. Hobbies are meant to bring joy to this often chaotic world <3
