May's fibery giveaway (found out it wasn't spelled give away) consists of natural dyed cotton and silk fabrics, acid dyed silk carrier rods, the hot pink carrier rod fibers were dyed with cochineal, and hand dyed yarn bundle and cotton pearl cotton threads. What you don't see are some extra goodies I'm tucking in with this bundle, in the same color palette of course.
Hand Spun Art Yarn by me! - Mohair, wool, silk, alpaca, angelina, natural dyed yarns, ribbons, and silk carrier rods. 
The first batt blended, I love this cloud grey color it's the kind of color you see here on the prairie in late October into early December as the cold fronts slowly make their way here.
My first batt with this colorway. Greyish blues and greens with hints of lavender and sage.
I forget what this critter was, it was a sheep - maybe columbia I don't know I've had the wool on hand for close to ten years now. The staple was still of excellent quality and the luster - well yum! So I'm blending it with mohair and silk bombyx on my drum carder for art batts. 
the flowers were in a bag marked a dollar at the local fabric store! Sign me up they are bright and cheerful and a wonderful addition to any project I might have in mind.
Some where in this pile there is a piece of yarn I'm wanting to work with! I collect things, lots of bits of this and that they come in handy when wanting to work on various projects.
Ink painted cotton fabric ironed to fuse a shade, I think the size is approx 2.5 by 3.25 inches (ATC sized)
I stitched the edges using my machine and laid down a bed of organinc stitches using free motion stitching.
I then stitched a silk flower to the tag using my machine and couched down some scrap bits of acrylic yarn in complimenting colors.
This could easily be made into a book mark, post card, or other small gift item. To finish it off I will add some beads and a tassle made with scraps of yarn, ribbons and threads.
Jumbo Flyer Heaven!!!
Here's a start, I need to change my maiden/flyer over to the jumbo flyer/maiden if I want to spin any appreciable amounts of yarn. The oriface on the standard Ashford flyer is too small for this type of spinning, some day Ill have a second wheel base!
Here's a start and I've decided I need to change out my flyer for the jumbo flyer as these standard bobbins don't hold much! I th ought I might get away with using the standard flyer but was wrong, the oriface is too small for most of the yarn chunks to slide through easily.
Wool batt, silk carrier rods, silk sliver, flax, mohair roving, and thrums are available in my shop. 
Normally I don't post here but wanted to share what I was up too tonight, I'm experimenting with some new art yarns. Right now I'm tired and am hurting a lot from doing yard work today, so I cheated and instead of making up a new batt I pulled a half used one out of my stash. The silk carrier rods to the right are rust dyed the others were dyed using acid dyes.
I put a bunch of yarns for sale on my etsy.com store, I couldn't resist the texture of these skeins and photographed a bunch of them in various ways for my texture gallery.
Here is a photo of the quebracho dyed silk pieces, the wool and the cotton didn't take the dye very well - or at all in my opinion! Anyway, the colors are very nice, not what I expected at all. Silk Dupioni fabric and Raw Silk Muga yarn are the samples here using Q. Red and Q. Black in seperate vats. Maybe I should combine the two vats for a third color - who knows maybe I'll finally get the color I've been striving for~!
