That's right, every Friday is FIBER FRIDAY at the Funhouse!
New in the shop this week: lots of hand painted fiber in yummy fall colors.
Don't you just love fall? I grew up in Northern lower Michigan, and the trees turned the most gorgeous colors - brilliant reds, striking golds, bronze, and every shade of green. I also love fall because it's the beginning of the harvest season - I dream about the piles of fresh produce available for canning and "putting by" for winter that we had available on our family farm.
Nowdays, I have a tiny place in the city, and no luck with growing vegetables in pots :O (

We do, however, have a wonderful weekly farmers market here in town, so I can still make pickles and preserves if I want to.
My favorite pickles EVER were pickled baby carrots with cinnamon and nutmeg - seriously, they were THE BOMB, and made me famous with the locals for a couple of years. Now I'd kill to find that recipe again - given to me by my blind neighbor down the hill from our farm. Sigh.
Doubt I'll ever be able to re-create them, but I can try, right?
Meanwhile, I'm inspired by the shades of autumn this week - check out the gorgeous colors in this delicious braid - one of my new favorite fiber blends: superfine merino, baby camel down and silk (!) What's not to love???

You can pick up some for yourself now in the shoppe - I'm happy to share my "Fall Harvest" with you. :O )
P.S. coming soon: "Yarnie Tuesdays"
Have a wonderful Holiday weekend, everyone-
xoxo
