Happy 1 year anniversary!

By Tara, on July 1st, 2010%

Today’s my anniversary!

I have been self-employed, making handspun yarn, full-time for one year!

Instead of writing about, let me tell you what it’s like:

But most importantly?

I want to say, THANK YOU!

Without you and your support at the Boutique, I wouldn’t be able to pay the bills. Without your delightful emails, I wouldn’t love what I do. Without your encouragement and sympathy during hard times, I wouldn’t be able to go back to the wheel each day.

Thanks for making this last year awesome.

Here’s to many more fabulous, yarny, colorful adventures!

PS. Completely unrelated but entirely serendiptously, I’m almost at 600 sales in my etsy shop. The person who buys the 600th item will get a free skein of yarn in their order! Get yours here.

You’re Invited: Birthday Brunch

By Tara, on June 3rd, 2010%

Today’s my birthday!

And it’s also the birth of a new project/home/excitement!

And you are invited to celebrate with me!

This is my new home on the web.

Oh, Blonde Chicken Boutique isn’t going anywhere! In fact, it is just growing and growing!

Blonde Chicken Boutique (where you are, right now) is my yarn line and my new home (still trying on names, it feels weird to keep calling it TaraSwiger.com…it’s like I’m being very formal with…myself)

What’s this mean for you?

If you come here for the yarny goodness: good news! You are going to get MORE of it! Every Thursday I’m going to share patterns, ideas, information about eco-friendly fiber and yarn. And this month, I’ll be rearranging stuff around here so the pattern ideas and contests are even easier to find.

If you don’t want to miss it, you can get it delivered right to your inbox, . . . → Read More: You’re Invited: Birthday Brunch
