Welcome to 2024!

2023 was such an exciting year for me and I expect the same out of 2024 now that I'm living my dream! Rather than resolve to lose weight or exercise more each new year, I challenge myself to learn new skills and have new experiences and to continue working on being a better person.


Stay tuned for new classes and workshops in 2024!

I promise this will be the last photo of Beverly and the tree until late 2024!

Spotlight on Dream in Color

I look forward to opening every shipment of Dream in Color yarns...the colors truly are dreamy! I've expanded the selection to include several new colors and some new Worsted and Chunky weight yarns.


At Dream in Color, colors aren't merely shades; they're symphonies of brilliance that elevate each skein into a work of art. Drawing inspiration from the kaleidoscope of colors offered by the natural world, each colorway tells its own captivating story. 

Dreamy Yarn!

New Colors for Manos del Uruguay Yarns


There are too many new colors to list in too many Manos del Uruguay yarns! I created 2 custom Fino Mini-Skein bundles to showcase the Sea and the Pines colors of Cambria and completed the Esme Shawl.


And for all of the Marla fans, I've replenished my inventory! 2024 is a great time to start a new project using Manos yarn.
