The One About Inori

Just posting a bigger picture of these 4 colourways that I love.

Sasha’s Green:

A blend of bright green, turquoise and teal. I usually don’t dig greens but this one is just gorgeous! Don’t ya think? Named after a very good friend of mine, Sasha! We used to live just 5 minutes from each other and she was Sunshine’s one and only nanny (thus far). Now we live so far away from each other! Would have to just content with the emails and reading her blog.

This green will knit up to very lovely socks and even shawls / scarves.

Glacier:

Inspired by pictures of glaciers. I LOVE BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This would knit up to very nice socks, I think.

Me Time:

I feel that this colourway needs more exposure and perhaps, an explanation!

It’s named “Me time” because this is the colour I see when I look out of the window at night, when the kids and the hubby are asleep. My ‘me-time’.

I love this colourway so much I think I’ll knit a shawl with it someday.

It has mostly black, teal and a little turquoise thrown in. I should have taken a picture of the yarn before it was reskeined.

But seriously, this is a beautiful colourway for those who prefer darker shades.

Aurora Borealis:

This is the colourway that took me the longest to plan and dye up.

If you follow this link to Paulo Coelho’s blog, you’ll see the picture I based this colourway on.

Colours go from very dark blue (navy), to lighter blue and then the bright green and purples. I think this colourway would make a nice shawl or scarf. Maybe socks too!

Sunshine: “Daddy, wear your pants. SO OBSCENE!“

Edited to add: Nad had just taken a shower and was wearing boxers. NOT that we walk around nekkid!

Finally…… at long last!

All the nights (or rather, mornings) of dyeing and making soap.

These are the new colourways I have in store. The colours are very intense and saturated.

And of course, soap!

Handmade soap is different from commercially manufactured ones. They will not dry your skin and are made of 100% natural ingredients. Only the highest grade of essential oil and/or fragrance oil is used in my soap bars. Also, I only use approved colour pigments to colour soap.

On top of that, I use vegetable oils (Olive, Coconut, certified sustainable Palm, Rice Bran) exclusively. No animal fats are used!

I hope to whip up more soap once these are sold. Please help me out by buying some!

Shipping is automatically calculated for overseas customers now too! So you don’t have to email me for shipping charges and packaging costs etc. Any excess shipping charges will be refunded to you as well.

There is a 10% store wide sale going on now so go grab something before they’re all gone!

Thank you very much!

When Nad flushed her poop down the toilet last night,

Sunshine: “Bye poo poo gozaimasu!”

Just swinging a quick update.

This is what I’ve been up to recently:

Uh huh uh huh! I’ve been making more soap! And this time, I’m using the HP method! I love both CP and HP. HP is good for those that do not need swirls and the best thing is that I can use the soap in a day instead of waiting for weeks!

So yes, I’ve been making changes to the store (backstage, so you can’t actually see it until the curtains go up!) and working my butt off for it!

I have to race through this before school starts and I will have even lesser time. But now, all I ever dream about is the store. It’s like my 3rd baby. :-/

I can’t tell you everything but here’s a sneak peak (or a blatant giveaway) at what might be in store:

Will try to reply comments (from 4 months ago) soon! Sorwie for the delays. And ohhh, an update on mama chooki? She got off the eggs. We’re thinking of just getting chicks now and bypass the hatching process.

Gotta go!
