Thankful!

There are so many things to be thankful for friendship, love, abundance, beauty, etc... Each day is a present filled with bright beautiful color that tickles my spirit.  I haven't had much time for the beach but I'm thinking I need to take a break and take a walk here soon.  Lot's of things coming out of the workshop, well really its the work chair but eventually there might be a workshop. It doesn't matter much the clothes, the jewelry, the painting will continue to flow as long as my hands allow.  I'm at the office 3 days a week now which kind of eats up creative time but the lure of steady income is strong. Thank you to everyone who purchases an item it keeps the supplies coming to create more things. Stop by www.nancyyoder.com and check out the links to all my stores, blogs, photos and all kinds of tidbits.
Joy to all,
Nancy

Autumn is here

Well I think its time to drag out the comforter and think about turning on the heat. It was a beautiful summer so nice and warm, but now I'm ready for the cooling weather and getting all my sweaters out. I've been so inspired to make shrugs and sweaters, lots of hats too. Stop by Sheila's Attic or Nancy's Tie Dye over on Etsy to see the latest editions to the fall line up. I have new yarn that is just waiting to be turned into something warm and fuzzy. Mom is going to be busy too, we have a bunch of upholstery scraps that are looking like purses and backpacks to me.
Thanks for stopping by,

Getting Ready for Fall

Well the summer has been beautiful and warm, everything it should be. The swimming, the barbeques and all the things that make up summer. We had a great visit with family on vacation, friends down for the weekend and lots of other memorable summer happenings.All these things together make for such a wonderful life. Now the weather is starting to cool just a touch and fall is just around the corner, the colors and leaves waiting to explode in orange, red and yellow. Well my thoughts have been turning to the cooler weather and the crochet needle came out. I have a few new shrugs available that are great for an evening wrap or to layer over a long sleeve t later in the fall. Stop by Sheilasattic.etsy.com or www.facebook.com\nancystiedye to check out photos of what I've been doing and to see where I'm listing new items.

It's been such a busy month here in beautiful Toledo.  The weather is mild and dry.  I've had a new store opening to get ready for, I started my own website at www.nancyyoder.com and Pirates Plunder sales have been good.  Now things are leveling out a little it's time to get out to the yard and get some dirt moved around and make a place to be comfortable relaxing outside on those hot August nights to come.

Make sure and stop by my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/nancystiedye and www.nancyyoder.com to see all that is new and bright.  And as always stop and smell the roses life is short so make it sweet and memorable.
Ciao,
Nancy

July is here...

Summer finally is in full swing here in the beautiful northwest.  It often is rainy far into the summer in these parts but its mild and everything is green which makes everything OK in my eyes.

I have been dutifully working on tie dye, phone cases and dragging things out of the attic for the antique mall. I have a new load of Alternative Apparel tee shirts that should be here Monday so I will get those done Monday evening hopefully.  A full week ahead with hitting the beach for the 4th, working on Tuesday at the desk job, Monday tie dyeing and acupuncture.  Oh and down to Pirates Plunder to get more in stock.

Summertime

It's officially summer now, Yay... I love the long days and the sunshine.  I'm not as much of a sun worshipper now.  I tend to cover up the skin a little more and wear large hats. Speaking of hats I ordered a bunch of hats for Pirates Plunder they should be fun. I also put a bunch of skirts in the store, here's hoping they do well.
I put some shell jewelry out and I make a few rings every couple of evenings to keep my supply up. Well another busy day.  All my packages are ready this afternoon and I am off to the Post Office, then back here to make a few new listings on Etsy.

More Tie Dye

It was a lovely day at the Beach and the farmers market this morning then into the kitchen to work.  I've been tie dyeing and getting things ready to go into Pirates Plunder.  I've also been getting things done to put into the Etsy store too so a little busy right now.
It is always joyous to pull that load of tie dye from the dryer and look at what comes out.  You never know how your luck will hold out but I think it's a good batch.  Lots of color and pretty flowing skirts, maybe I should go dancing next.

Thanks for stopping by,
