Here are some pics:
Yes, that is a recycle logo on the back of the tags, and , no, they really couldn't be any cuter.
Have a great week everyone! Listen to your breath, follow your heart and give out lots of hugs!

Mission Accomplished!
I've been trying to figure out what to do for tags since I started selling yarn last July. I had only been selling online, so tags weren't really necessary. A couple weeks ago, Kate and Pam of Yin Yarn (http://www.yinyarn.com/) offered to let me sell my yarns in their shop. Today was the deadline I gave myself to get my yarns ready. It is 6:24 PM Central Time, my chest is sticking out past my nose, and I've been looping the Chariots of Fire theme song through my head for the past half hour. In other words, I DID IT!

When I grow up
Well, if you are reading this you haven't completely given up on me. Thanks.
Mark Twain said that life it what happens while we are busy making other plans.
I'm a "to do" list person. I scheme. I plan. I organize. I make resolutions. I'm still trying to decide what I'm doing with my life, what I want to be when I grow up.
I'm going to be 28 in a little over a week. My Mom told me she is still trying to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up. (I won't tell you how old she is but she was 20 when I was born) Somehow I think my grandmother might still ponder that, too (she was 40 - cool, huh).
I'm still trying to figure out what Ahmisa Fibers is, what I want it to be. Maybe you noticed that I went back and deleted some posts. I decided to weed out ones that were too personal or philosophical or just generally not about yarn. But I'm torn because personal is what makes handmade special. It's what gives it energy and life. It's its prana, its chi, its blood.
And, in case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a philosophical person. My yarn was born from philosophy. It moved from my head to my heart to my hands, instead of the other way around.
My yarns are fairly traditional but in a couple months I'm going to Camp Pluckyfluff to learn to make art yarns. So, what is my style? What will be the "look" of Ahimsa Fibers?
A couple weeks ago someone asked my why I started spinning and I said that it just sort of grabbed ahold of me. I think that is the most honest answer I've come up with. I never meant to get so into it. In fact, I'm constantly making lists of other crafts I want to try when I'm ready for something different.
Then I put down my pen and thoughts and sit down at my wheel.
So, I'm in the process of trying to figure out what Ahimsa Fibers is and is going to be. While I'm busy trying to figure things out, it, like life, is going along just fine and not waiting for me to finish my plans.
Peace
