With a little more work the earrings have improved:
And just last night I finished a little Valentines Day gift:
I've also started knitting again, and have some soft and lovely cowls coming up soon. I'll post a photo or two once they're all ready to go.
Actually knitting again has brought to my attention all the amazing hand spun yarns on Etsy. As we speak (type/read) I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of "Theodore" by The Red Button Tree:
Here are some of my favorite yarns and the crafters that produced these fluffy beauties. All handspun, and many hand dyed as well!
Haptotrope's post-apocalyptic yarn Raspberries and Old Lace, made with tulle, wool, and lace:
Fey's Salmon Run with big spongy coils of bright blue!
Fey's Salmon Run with big spongy coils of bright blue! 
In Hope's bright Pink Lemonade yarn with little sparkly sequins tucked in the twists: 
Third Floor Fiber's Worms in the Grass is one of my favorites- I'd love to knit it up and add a silk earthworm patch (like the one on the little hat I made a couple weeks ago)!
Felt Studio's Baboogie is not only hand spun and hand dyed - it also includes silk cocoons cut into little cups and spun right into the yarn:
I can't wait to finish the projects I've got waiting and get started on something new with some of these!
