Colors of Life

Posted in Creating

I spent most of yesterday working on my sister-in-law's web page.  She came over and I scanned some pictures, then when she left I started working on their "About Us" page.  She had written it up, but when I got into it I realized that we needed to keep the theme of their project in mind, and rewrote it.  Poor girl, I tend to be a bit pushy!  Sue seemed to like the page, though.

It was a beautiful day yesterday, although there was still a chill in the air.  After sitting so long in front of the computer, it felt good to get out and take my spaniel for a walk down to my mother's.  We had a fun time collecting family pictures for an article I'm writing for the Blue Ridge Gazette

I filled a bobbin last night with the purple and black silk plied with the Coopworth single.  Turned out nice; much more subtle than the flashes of turquoise and pink in the first run.  A blog friend suggested that I name this line "Colors of Life".  I think that's a pretty good title, and I was thinking of calling the purple and black "Passion and Shadow".  Still thinking of a name for the first one!

It's a gray day today, with low clouds and a bit of wind.  Another really cold snap is expected before the weekend is over, so I may hold off on shearing bunnies.  But a couple really need to be attended to soon!

Interesting ... now I've named scarves that I've woven, but never the yarn! Keep showing the yarns, they are beautiful.

Saturday 25 February 2006 - Naming Yarns

Posted by Greenberry


I name almost everything. Yarns, fiber, finished articles. It makes for a good sales tool to have a "line" of related items under a name, and then names that follow the theme for the individual pieces. And it makes you sound so professional, when you can talk about your 'spring' line (grin)!

I guess naming the black and purple yarn "Nasty Bruise" wouldn't exactly have the effect you're going for, huh?
Sounds very pretty, though!
Shutting up again...
