I’ve just discovered that Lesha of LeshasWorkshop included my Blue Roses yarn in this nice Treasury:

This has also been a good occasion for me to discover a great artist. Leisha knits, sews, hunts vintage and does mixed media functional objects.
Go visit Lesha’s Workshop, you will like her original handmade creations.

I would like to introduce you BOB, one of the new yarns I’m selling online in my Etsy and ArtFire Shops.
BOB stands for Brown, Orange and Blue
It’s a Bulky to Superbulky 2ply yarn. I handpainted these supersoft superfine merino rovings and really enjoyed spinning them.
That’s why I asked my husband some special shots … (Thank you, honey! )



Isn’t Bob absolutely gorgeous? I was meditating to give him a brother and to offer it on my next giveaway…

Some months ago, I created my Fan page on Facebook. I didn’t know exactly what I was doing, but some readings over the Internet had persuaded me that this page would be a powerful marketing tool.
I must have done something the wrong way, because the only result to me was that suddendly I started reading my personal info and status updates on my Fan Page and publishing my business photos on my Profile’s Wall.
I tried to manage permissions and privacy settings in many different ways, but nothing seemed to work.
I was almost decided to leave this adventure, yet I was reluctant to loose some important tools that Facebook could provide me: MyEtsy, for instance, and ArtFire Kiosk.
So, I went on fighting with Facebook some weeks more, trying to end up with a solution.
People, I’m very proud to tell you that I did It! Now my page is working! The Admin? Zucchero Filato, of course! That was the trick!
Geek of me! Hi hi hi hi….
