I'd like to share three favorite things with you every weekend, this is first three things I'd like to share:
I just joined this. I've bought two of their braids before and I just love this fiber so much, and the colors! I was looking to buy a braid again from their Etsy store, but I just could not decide on one. I wanted all the colors! Then I discovered there's a club, where for a really reasonable price, you'll receive one braid a month (or more if you want). After a look on our budget we decided I deserved this; I'm so excited! My first braid will arrive in May.
The braid on the picture is named Scottish Landscape, it was my first braid from TWF. It spun up like a cloud, and I'm saving the finished yarn for a special sweater.
I can't stop looking at her illustrations! The soft tender lines, then the surprising amount of details, not quite realistic but so far from abstract. She has a style that speaks to me, and I truly enjoy it when she posts new pictures. I also love how she incorporates these into her craft and the final item that she sells in her Etsy store. On the subject of her store, do go in and look at what she creates there. I bought a crochet hook holder from her in 2012 to hold all my double point needles. That holder is in constant use, on constant travel and under a lot of wear, and it still looks brand new. Her stuff is quality!
I used to write short stories all the time before. Then life happened and the inspiration disappeared. Lately I've felt the need to put my thoughts on paper again (or rather into a google document, so I can access it at all times). I do feel a bit rusty though, so when I found Sarah Selecky's Daily Writing Prompts through Pinterest, I signed up immediately. It's free, and every day she will send an email with a prompt. I choose to write only for 10 minutes. If I feel done before those 10 minutes are up, I force myself to continue. If I'm not, I finish it right then and there anyways. It's working well for me so far.
