My Name is Chek and I Have an Addiction to Craft Supplies

-
So I ordered some more mill ends because I ran out.


Not quite as many as last time, but still quite a bit - about ten and a half ounces. It'll keep me busy for a little bit longer, which is nice.

These mill ends are from GoatsMagosh - they have an etsy, but I found these through Amazon.

Stop judging me this is a much better addiction than others I could have.




I think between the three packs I got, there is enough for some more of the fire rolags, though obviously not in the same shades. Might be a little low on orange but I have more reds this time.

The MVPs of the whole lot are these two dark colored batches - one dark purple, one dark blue - and they are shot through with shimmery other colors. HELLA pretty.


There was a surprisingly large amount of pink in this mix, but I do think blue may have won in sheer quantity, though I think red and pink won in shades.

Also there is this one crazy blended fiber in there that reminds me of the Fujimoto from Ponyo - dunno why, he's more orange-blue-white-pink, but it's the association I keep coming back to. 


Green was pretty close behind though. It looks all nice color coordinated in my storage box! Of which there is NOT a picture because I was tired and also it's double stacked in there.

I'm not pulling half of the stuff out of the box just for a picture. Maybe when I make some more rolags.




I also picked up a new drop spindle from Kraken 3D, who made the spindle I've been relearning on.

The color I'd ordered originally wasn't available, but I got this instead which is pretty damn incredible regardless of my inability to photograph it properly. It's like a purple-black with blue sparkles. Faaaaabulous.

Also the seller is sweet and threw in some extra shafts because I had to wait a whole extra two or three days while the new color came in. Goddamn amazing, I fully rec him if you want a lightweight turkish spindle.

And there was more cat fabric. I have a problem. And my problem is people selling stuff that is amazing and looks like this:

...

Okay so I took them out and put them all in a bigger box. BEHOLD MY BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW OF FIIIIIIBER.

Paradise Fiber Club Box - June: Enchanted Forest

And now, we are caught back up to my latest box. Maybe the next box will get posted around the same time I receive it next month, but maaaan, I am not sure I'd hold my breath on that one. Ideally I'll be posting more about crafts and maybe getting the downstairs and craft room finally organized. IT'S ONLY BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I MOVED AND STILL I HAVE PILES INSTEAD OF A NICE ORGANIZED CRAFT ROOM. Oh June box. You fill me with a vague desire to be productive which I know that I will not follow up on. Yet. First look at the box, and then the view of the newsletter. Has a lot of information about the Ramie fiber included in this month's box, as seen in the box menu below: We've got some purple! Oh wow, we've DEFINITELY got some purple going on this month, wow. First look at the contents of the box; I see something already that makes it worth summoning the Tea Cryptid forth to assist. The Tea Cryptid, if you haven't already guessed based on previous posts, is m

The Largesse Box: Part One

So, for a looooong time I've been planning on decorating this wooden craft chest I've had kicking around for the better part of ten years, and then filling the damn thing up with largesse and inflicting the resulting craft monster on An Tir's Largesse coordinator (because no way am I presenting this thing directly to whoever the sitting royals are when I finally get it filled - it's taken like two years to get THIS far, so lord knows when I'll actually FINISH). I've actually made a start on the contents - the painted drop spindles and the viking hats are meant for this undertaking, after all. A few days ago the bug to start getting serious on at least finishing out the box bit me hard, and I drafted up an initial plan on how this stupid thing would be painted. Promising, but of course later on I ran into problems and had to rethink this, HEAVILY. So anyway, today I found the chest, emptied it out (incidentally I found 1. my missing grey hoodie and 2. some more f

Magic, and the Orders of the Exodus Covenant

Magic! Ah, magic. Always a pain in the ass. Magic is broken up into a few subcategaories. Racial Magic: Racial magic is magic that is innate to all members of a species. Very few races have magic common to every member of a species – a good example would be harpies; every member of their species has racial magic enabling them to actually fly. Dwarves, too – they have sort of an earth sense. Personal Magic: Personal magic is magic that is innate to a certain person; they are born with the innate ability. This one is a bit odd – for example, 90% of all non-Covah humans are born with magic that makes them highly adaptable; that 10% means it’s not racial. Most people have two, maybe three gifts like this, and half the time, they don’t precisely seem like “magic”. For example, the naga in my NaNo – her special talent, in addition to the human adaptability, is a gift for languages – it takes her very little time to be able to be fully fluent in a new language. The dwarf,
