Spring is on the mend

Spring is finally upon us!  And I know I'm going to get blasted for saying this, but the winter was way too short.  Since I finally "got" snowboarding, I have been craving more snow!


The coming of spring brings the return of a new passion, backpacking!  I hope I can get outside soon and do some serious hiking.  The flowers are blooming here in South Carolina and its about 60 degrees and sunny.

I am finally linked up as a designer on ravelry!  I received my confirmation email this morning.  I also added my free pattern to the ravelry pattern store.  You can check out the pattern here if you have a ravelry account... And if you don't have a ravelry account and you knit, what's wrong with you?!

I enjoyed the spring-y weather yesterday by taking Mercury for a walk and playing fetch in a nearby field.  He was sick again over the weekend and was hospitalized for hemorrhagic diarrhea.  I won't describe it here, but the title should give you an idea of how awful it was.  He's doing better, though, and I hope that his health will improve back to its original state.

Here are some feathered offerings I have placed in the store.  The ones to the right feature rooster hackle feathers wrapped in copper wire and set in copper colored ear hooks.  They're very small (less than 4 inches) and are now in the etsy shop!

These earrings have been a huge hit!  They feature grizzly rooster feathers in two colors, black schlappen, and irridescent peacock swords wrapped in silver coated wire and hung on sterling silver ear hooks.

I also got some feathers in stock I was missing for awhile and added some items back into the store that had been hibernating.

Both of these feature parrot feathers hung on sterling silver ear hooks.  Very simple and pretty!

Happy Tuesday, everyone. I hope you are enjoying the great weather!
