Blue Moutain Handcrafts and *giveaway*







When I visit Blue Mountain Handcrafts, I really feel like I'm stepping into a bright, colorful, happy place- almost like I'm on a fantasy fiber vacation!

Beth stocks everything I love: beautiful handspun, colorful and interesting spinning fiber and perfectly constructed fabric bags! I love that Beth offers a spinning service! For those of you who may love a batt but don't spin!

Today we're giving away a beautiful "caddy sax" !! This bag will hold everything you need to take with you- and give you plenty of pockets for extra notions etc. Just visit Blue Mountain Handcrafts, find something you like, and post about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner tomorrow! Please be sure and take a look now! We'll count your tweets and facebook updates as extra entreis- just let us know you did it!

Beth, I am amazed at your work! Thank you for sharing with us!

    The autumn orange bag is delightful, but the Good Grief yarn stole my heart. My mother-in-law is a HUGE Peanuts fan, and it made me think of her. (I like her, so that's a good thing.)

    The drawstring bags caught my eye and are just the bag for my most recent knit or crochet projects. Love the idea, size and most especially the color-combos.

    I think my favorite fiber is the MTN MEADOW Spinning Batts 4 oz Merino Firestar Columbian Curly Locks followed closely by ELDERBERRY FIZZ but I love the name of THREE LITTLE PIGS ON TOAST, just too funny! And I absolutely adore your new Vintage Moss bag!

  18. TinkerTotsOctober 15, 2009 at 8:15 AM

    I just adore the "Three Little Pigs on Toast" spinning batts. I had so much fun spinning up the Box sample of her batt that I'm sure these would be great as well.

    Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
    His sister had another one, she paid it for the lime

    She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em both up

    And I know why she did it, if it looked half as enticing as this yarn! Yeah, the PUT THE LIME IN THE COCONUT Self Striping Single Ply Handspun Wool Yarn just totally does it for me! Awesome yarn and great (funny!) title. Love it!
