Summer fiber time!

Well, again a long hiatus between blog entries! I have been very busy crafting, however--not only with dyeing and blending fiber, but baby-making as well! We're due to have number 3 in October, and while we are completely thrilled, it does sometimes cut into fiber production time. However, I'm hoping to have more time to do dyeing and blending and posting to my website and shops this summer. I'm really looking forward to Tour de Fleece this year, and am hoping I can do some neat sales and promotions for it. I've got the ideas, anyway, and am hoping some of them will be manageable, anyway.

I've also been working hard on dyeing up fiber for the Spindies Paintboxes and Complements boxes, and in case you've checked them out before, we've done a bit of restructuring. We no longer have the Hyena cart shop, and now are only selling on our Etsy shop, which you can reach via www.Spindies.com. Check it out--there's some wonderful fibers available from some incredible vendors. And our boxes tend to sell out quickly, so don't wait around!

I'm also hoping to get some more stuff posted on my own Etsy page as soon as I can get some decent photos o my more recent stuff. I have a few things left over from my last vending event, but haven't had the chance to photograph them, and need some good daylight to really get the color shades correct. I really hate to post dyed fiber that doesn't really show the true colors.

So happy summer spinning, everyone!

Welcome to Dragonmaille Designs, a site designed to celebrate some of the fuzzy, warm, bright, and sparkly things in life. Fuzzy includes my handspun yarns and my forays into hand-dyed fiber and yarn. Warm refers to the items made from yarn--sometimes from my own handspun, sometimes not--and some of my own knitting and crochet designs. Bright refers to the colors in the fibers that I work with, but can also be the bright beads for the yarn jewelry or jewelry items I create. Sparkly, not surprisingly, refers to the jewelry.
 
Some of my creations I give away, some I keep, and some are up for sale at my online shop. Are you looking to support artisans in the handcrafted community? Looking for a unique gift for someone special? Need something for a special occasion, such as a wedding or anniversary? You may be able to find that perfect item, or items, among my work. Some items are truly one of a kind, and cannot be recreated. However, there are many which could be made again, so if you see something you want that isn't in my shop, let me know--I may be able to do a custom order for you. Any questions or requests will be considered at the following email address:: dragonmaille@gmail.com
