Hello!!! It is Christmas season! I know it is late for most of this. But when you see this I NEED you to look so hard. My mama has an Etsy shop, and she’s super self conscious about her art, she calls it a seamstress’s hobby, but it’s beautiful.
She still uses the account my sister made for them when she wanted to try business and selling art and my mom was backing her 100%, I’m working on building her a new one that’s not Etsy but I’m not sure what sites are good. Preferably any suggestions for sites would also be able to be like a gallery, for things she doesn’t want to sell or just to showcase her work! If any of my art besties or sale besties have suggestions, I would love that.
Also, if you’re looking for a nice handmade gift that’s on the pricey end because it’s handmade, her stuff is timeless. Or if you know rich people or if your parents like you enough to post Facebook posts you wrote for them. Pretty please boost for my lovely mama.
She cleans, spins, and dyes her own wool for her projects, this is a Mrs. Claus with bendable fingers she just finished for my grandma!
Especially with the boycotts and how terrible capitalism is, consider supporting a small artist who sources everything ethically!!

Visited the Sydney Royal Easter Show today & Look!! The yarn (WOW blend Yzma’s New Groove) I entered into the class for wholly spun & plied on a hand spindle placed 3rd!! Bonus was my crochet handspun made shawl was selected for display. I am so ridiculously happy & proud since I’ve only been doing this craft for a year.

Oh, help me, I've rediscovered needle felting. The need to make tiny woolen critters is rapidly overshadowing all other productive parts of my brain ;o;

I noticed that the Royal Easter Show had a category for an item made completely from handspun. So I did something crazy & spent December/Jan crocheting up the shawl my ‘Sunburnt Country’ handspun was destined for to enter the category.
Regardless of how successful this piece will be in the competition, this shawl came out more beautiful than I imagined when I was designing the yarn.
