Moar Yarn!

 

So here's a collection of some more yarn that I've spun on my drop spindle since my first skein in this previous post.

 

However for most of these skeins, I didn't hand process the fleece myself. I bought the batts from winding the skein and expertly dyed: art by science, both on etsy.

 

 

 

The greyish one you see does include some hand processed (by me) alpaca fibre carded together with some green and blue roving.

 

I've also been experimenting with spinning different thicknesses of yarn, from a bulky/chunky weight like the pink ones, to a more fine weight like the lavender one. So addictive!!

Upcycled Suitcase Cat Bed

Here is the finished cat bed that I wrote about in this previous post!

 

 

My sister got me this vintage suitcase last Christmas after hearing me talk about wanting to make one of these adorable cat beds.

 

I picked up some furniture legs (and painted them a nice turquoise colour to match the accents on the granny square "quilt") and hardware from Home Depot as well as a piece of wood to reinforce the bottom of the suitcase.

 

 

Belle is slowly starting to like her new bed :) (obviously my labour of love will always lose to any cardboard box...go figure)

 

 

My next project is proving to be a pretty long one....

 

Here are a few sneak peeks:

Can you guess what I'm making?
