Jennifer of It's a Colorful Life doesn't know it, but my brain has attached a soundtrack to her shop. Every time I see her shop, her samples, her name- the Eliot Morris song "Colorful World" pops into my head.
I think Jennifer would be glad to hear of this, if she knew Eliot- he's a good friend of my Sister and her husband and and his sweet personality almost matches his immense talent.
It is probably no wonder that my brain has linked these two artists, both downright good people and both attune to the color in the life that surrounds us all
.
Jennifer's shop is ablaze with a spectrum of spinning fibers, sock yarn and handspun! Jennifer is also known to list hand dyed fabric from time to time as well. Truly, a virtual fiber junkie's candy shop- go ahead and grab yourself some happy.
We're giving away a beautiful Easter-egg handspun skein! Just visit It's a Colorful Life and find something you like. Write about it in the comments section below here and we'll draw for a winner on Friday! Be sure and twitter, plurk and facebook about this! Let's help Jennifer's shop out!
Thank you so much, Jennifer for your shop and amazing, rich and deeply dyed wonders that fill it!
loving te Many Berries yarn!
