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!

I have to be honest - my favorite item from her is the one you are raffling off! I just love it. But I am intrigued by her "fat sock yarn" department, and will check back to see what she has there.

I love the color of the deepest depths batts. Gorgeous!
I've been looking at the Grapevine roving for some time now. I also love the opal roving. The batts have beautiful vivid colors.
All That Jazz is a color scheme I've been looking for. I love it.
I love "Many Berries!" So pretty the depths of the color and the contrast - stunning!

The DEEPEST DEPTHS Spinning Batts are so pretty!
I am drooling over all of the batts and can't decide which one I like best. The Mint Chip fiber braid though - that one I could definitely decide on.
Watermelon is beautiful.
The Blossom fiber braid is my favorite. All of her colors are beautiful.
Beautiful colors! I really like the deepest depths colorway!
All of her fibers are beautiful! I love the Blueberry Lime Rickey merino roving!

DEEPEST DEPTHS Spinning Batts is my favorite. Jennifer's site just explodes with color! A very fun play to visit!
Oh my goodness I absolutely love the pixelated sock yarns, how gorgeous!
I'm also intrigued by the idea of fat sock yarn--what is it? What does it feel like? :D
I love purple and the grape fizz is to dye(lol) for.
Omigosh! How can one possibly pick one item to write about from such a beautiful shop with an abundance of color? I'll go with the Superwash Merino Sock Yarn in the Many Berries colorway.
Oooh! And the For The Girls colorway is lovely as well.
Thanks for spotlighting another great shop!
Strawberry Milkshake and Watermelon! Yum, yum!!!
I am drooling over the pixelated project sock yarns!
Gosh, it's really hard to choose. I love the giveaway yarn!
I guess my favorite in the shop is the Blueberry Lime Rickey -- I love that color combo.
I love the raspberry freeze roving!
How do I list EVERYTHING that I want? It is all so colorful. I liked the Rasberry Lemondade,Reptilia and State fair in the batts. THat was just page one. Page 2 opened up so many more.
There's too many things here to love! The Bright Lights Big City brings me back to my tie dye shirt days in college & I love it-yup, I'm old lol. I'm also crazy about the Raspberry freeze merino wool top/roving and The Pixellated Poject Purple Burgundy striping sock yarn and the Many Berries sock yarn. You can't go wrong with anything in this shop!
I've blogged,twittered,plurked,FB and walked around the house without a cane Woohoo!
The pixellated project sock yarn is to die for! I love it. And there are many many of her batts and rovings I'd love to own. Another Tweet-worthy shop to be sure. :)
Many berries = yum!!
great colors. luv the grape fizz and twilit fizz batts.
I love all the colors in your yarns and fibers but I find myself captivated by the pixellated sock yarns, especially the Purple Magenta. Just such fun.
I think the pixellated project sock yarns are fascinating. I especially like the Purple Burgandy colorway.

Holy crap, my credit card just exploded! I like Raspberry Lemonade, More than Just Red, Smitten, Twilit Sky...and that's just the first page. Oh man. My budget doesn't need this! But my stash sure does.
I'm such a sucker for blues -- those Deepest Depths spinning batts are heavenly!
Jen
WOW! Love this shop but really and truly my favorite is your giveaway yarn so I think I should probably win it.
For the Girls and Many Berries are my favorite. They are just beautiful.
I love the Twilit Sky batts and the Mint Chip roving!

I really like her colors! My favorites are the raspberry lemonade, blossom, grape fizz, and more than just red fluff.
I'm really thinking, once pay day arrives, that Twilit Sky will be mine!

I don't spin, but the Fall Rose Garden looks beautiful!
Wow! Youweren't kidding about color!!! I really like the Grapes on the Vine roving!
I'm sorry, but how do you pick a favorite fiber from her shop - they are all so freakin' gorgeous!
I think it will be easier (but not much easier) to pick a yarn. I love her strawberry milkshake yarn... okay, more than love, I covet it!
The TwiLit Spinning Bats are almost enough to make me start spinning. They're beautiful.
WOW! My mouth started drooling as I clicked on the site! And then, I saw, the Many Berries sock yarn....wish I could whistle! It is something!!!
I adore the Berry Peach Smoothie Fiber.

All the colors are beautiful, especially Blossom and State Fair. Special mention to Blueberries in my Orange Juice for awesome name. I especially like the pixellated sock yarn and the rovings.
So much pink!!! I love it all, but if I had to choose it would be the Watermelon handpainted handspun...I love pink and green together.
Love it! The Pixellated yarns, the bright rainbow batts... I think I'm going to have to go back and stare at all the pretties for a while.
I'm in love with the Melon Balls superwash sock yarn!
Love Bright Lights Big City and Fall Rose Garden - what gorgeous colors!
