Yes, that's some of my handspun yarn pictured in this week's Handmade Promenade vendor feature! Up until now, my yarn sales have been online; I'm so excited to be offering my yarn in a brick-and-mortar holiday pop-up shop on one of the busiest avenues in Indianapolis, where people will be able to feel the yarn, and not have to rely solely on how it looks in photos! Side benefits: I'll be able to get my own Christmas shopping done in one place, too, buying handmade and supporting local artisans! Wheeeee!
P.S. Like Handmade Promenade on faceplace so you can stay informed about my fellow vendors, special events in the shop, etc. See you SOON, Indianapolis!
How have you been, lovely readers? I took a little break from blogging after our piano got to its permanent home (though I still have to get over to Day Nursery and tighten things up). Things have been busy here, but I knew I needed to get over here and give you a recap! Among recent highlights:
1. We got a new baby nephew! This is the first time I've become an aunt as a grown-up, or lived nearby, and it's thrilling! He is easily the most adorable boy I have ever seen, and Merino and I keep wondering what we ever did before we were so busy texting each other our pictures of him and changing our computer backgrounds with updated pics!
2. Have I mentioned I finally bought my own spinning wheel? She's beautiful, but it took me a while to get her adjusted like the one I have been borrowing for years!
3. I'm volunteering for a local "exotic" animals rescue (EARPS.org), which has led to us fostering two single gerbils, and man are they different than hamsters! (Which reminds me, Carmelita's birthday is coming up; she wants sunflower seeds!)
4. I'm having fun conceptualizing custom knitting orders. Coming up: an elephant hat and an owl hat!
5. The Film Festival I volunteer for is next month - yay! Just so you know, I may have an embarrassing fan-girl meltdown if I get to meet Del Shores.
6. My sister came for a visit, and we got to meet her husband! He has laugh lines, and they held hands; it was very heartwarming.
7. The Yarnburners yarnbombed the Indyfringe Theatre Festival, and I attended a couple of Fringe shows... LOVE!
8. I applied to, and was accepted into the Handmade Promenade, which is a holiday-shopping-time pop-up shop that will be in downtown Indianapolis! In November and December my yarns will be available in person, in addition to on Etsy!
Yes, these are just a few recent happenings! I'll keep you posted on these and other developments - but if you think I'm being too quiet on my blog, be sure to connect with me on various social media platforms for more frequent updates; I hear Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook are all the rage.
Thanks for reading; I appreciate you!
