One Week

Posted on 24 June 2009

In one week, I’ll be self-employed.

In one week, I’ll be responsible for my own health insurance.

In one week, I’ll set my own schedule.

In one week, I’ll live in a new house.

Next Wednesday is not only my first day of full-time Blonde Chicken Boutique shenanigans, it’s also Moving Day!

The whole family + the whole Boutique is moving (just across town).

To say I’m overwhelmed in as understatement.

Excited and nervous and scrambly and full of oh-my-goodness-what-did-I-forget sort of thoughts!

Last night I couldn’t sleep and started thinking about ALL the yarn and fiber I need to pack before moving. And the unpacking! The new place will have a dedicated fiber studio (yay!) but I hate to be apart from my fiber for even a day or two.

So instead, instead of moving all that yarn across town,  what if I just send it to you?

How about free (domestic) shipping on any order over $50?

You’ll be cheering up both of our weeks by heading over to the Boutique and stocking up handspun yarn, organic cotton and Spinnables.

(to get the free shipping, just place your Etsy order (of over $50) and wait for a CORRECT Paypal invoice)

This little moving sale will be on for just ONE WEEK and on July 1st, I’m going to close the Boutique until I’m all settled in my new studio.

When it reopens, it’ll be filled with new and different yarns, so if you like what you see, snatch it up now!

Thanks to all who will be joining me on the Adventure Club, they sold out!

If you didn’t get in on the Adventure before it sold out and you’d like to know of upcoming adventures, you might want to join the free Awesomesauce Club.

What makes it Awesomesauce?

It’s free! Each month you’ll get two little notes from me with tips, tricks and discounts!

They are customized to YOUR interests. If you like knitting, learn about knitting! If you love spinning, let’s talk about spinning!

They are helpful! Filled with actual usefull stuff, I know you’re gonna love!

  • Once a month you’ll get a tip or trick that I’ve found useful - like my favorite cast-on or dyeing technique.
  • Two weeks later you’ll get a little sneak peak into (and discount on) the newest thing in the Boutique.

If you love yarn and knit or crochet it, sign up for Yarntastic:

Yarntastic, baby!
