Stuff

I do so much other stuff online (mostly Ravelry, etsy and flickr) that sometimes I forget to blog until someone like Kortney or my sister says something to the effect of "blog about something. I'm bored."

So here's a bit of collaboration of what's going on in the other online venues which have caused me to neglect said blog.

The Cupcake Factory

Yarn. Lots and lots of yarn. Here are some pictures of the yarn I've been making:

Frosting (worsted weight merino. Dyed in such a way as not to pool):


(the orange one and the last teal/purple ones are still available...the others have sold. I've 2 more skeins waiting to be photographed and listed in the morning)


Buttercream (Really soft superwash merino/nylon sock yarn in purdy colors...currently sold out)



Sugar Paste (merino/silk blend sockyarn. The purple one is still for sale)



Fluff (American Wool Roving)


(I like this one a lot. If it doesn't sell soon, I may end up spinning it myself)


And Finally...Meringue (a light, airy lace weight).
It's pretty, but I'm not sure I'm the biggest fan of dyeing lace weight. I've got 2 more blank skeins and depending on how they sell, this might be the end of this line.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So there's all my yarn. I've done some other stuff but I realized I'm lacking pictures (will need to fix that later). Anyway, if you like yarn you might be interested in my very own iGoogle gadget that I made yesterday. It looks like this:

If you add it to your iGoogle page, you'll automatically get pictures and info on my newest yarns fed straight onto your screen.

Right now, it's available by invitation only, but if you e-mail me at carissamarie[at!]gmail[dot]com I can hook you up.

I guess that's it for now. Have a great night everyone!

  1. I want to see cupcakes! OMG I saw i cake pan at jo-anns today it was a cupcake cake. Basically you end up with a HUGE cupcake, it was $30 though maybe if you had a 50% off coupon.... you should go check it out.
