Wednesday Wishlist: Circle of Friends

It's been a while since I posted a Wednesday Wishlist...heck, it's been a while since I posted at all (shame on me!)...so today I'd like to pay tribute to some of the fine, talented folks that can be found in my Circle of friends on Etsy. As of last count I've added about 90 artisans to my Circle and am always on the hunt for more. I'll dedicate more Wishlists to these fabulous friends of mine but for now, I present you with a random selection of pure awesomeness. To learn more about the featured item and the artist's shop, right click on the shop links to open up a new window.

Wednesday Wishlist: Sit & Spin

I recently learned how to spin my own yarn on a drop spindle. What a treat it is to take a fluffy pile of roving and transform it into beautiful yarn which I can then use to either crochet or knit whatever my heart desires. For this week's Wednesday Wishlist, I once again turn to my fellow Etsyans. I mean, how could I not? I sought out some of the most scrumptious spinning fibers Etsy sellers have to offer, and it's no surprise how many excellent picks I had to choose from. The talent pool on that site has me forever in awe! Please show their shops some love by right clicking on the links to open in a new window.
