Long time no see! What have you been up to? For me…well, life happening, I guess, hehe. These are my Holiday socks. The goal is to knit a pair a month. Happy New Year! 🎉💕.

Why is it that when you are sick you want to so million things? Lol. I had a dyeing spell and now I have lots of blue yarns. 😊 Happy New Year everyone!

Thanks for all your advice! I went back to fix the little mistake. It was only like 6 rows below. 😊 I am still a rookie, you can see the sides uneven, extra tight..lol. Next time, I will do better. I am just happy I completed it. So hard to photograph! Anyway, here is my little scarf/shawl. 💕 Happy Wednesday!!

This hurts…😭😂😂 Happy Sunday!

Happy Friday! Over two years ago, I did a color catalog’ of my favorite colors. Here are a few. I am considering to make a rainbow shawl with them, or maybe some socks? 🌈 Have a great day!

Yesterday night, first batt carded in a loooong time! Going back to the fiber world is a joy and emotional at the same time. I hope that today you make it a good day. Take care! 💕

Hi my fiberistas! Yesterday was very rough, however it ended on a nice note and I wanted to share this with you. 💙 I got my first tatt ever of a "Forget-Me-Not" flower.
Traditionally, Forget Me Not Flowers have carried a symbolic meaning of remembrance, true and eternal love, and devotion. All of this, in honor of My Love 💙
Thank you so so much Ray You are not only incredibly talented, but you were so kind and gentle with this ink-newbie. I will see you soon again!

(Tattoo is not upside down. I chose it this way so I can enjoy it, it is for myself and as a remembrance of my Joe)

Hi my dearest ones, it has been exactly two months since we saw each other here and I have learned that there is no such a thing as ‘bereavement period’ because grief and missing my love just does not end. With this in mind, I am having to push myself and I will still be opening my shop this month.
I will be sending a Newsletter this Friday 16th. So, if you are not subscribed, you can go to www.tinyurl.com/SpinningMermaidNewsletter and do so asap!
In the Newsletter I will be sharing what it will be available in the reopening, also the details on time and date of the update, plus info on my first time ever live carding session to come 💕.
I hope to see you soon again. In the meantime, I am leaving you with some eye-candy of a yarn handspun with two of my favorite roving colorways that will be available next week! Halloween is here 🎃👻🖤. .

Bittersweet re-Opening Coming
Hi my dear fiberistas and Spinning Mermaid Fibers friends and customers,

I have been trying to figure out for the last few days how to write this email. Over the last year or so, I had to stop carding due to my health. I have been lucky to have been consistently improving. Now, life has thrown me a curve I would not have expected in a lifetime. My spouse of almost 7 years was unfairly taken from me by an evil person (or people, we don't know yet and I cannot provide details of any kind - too painful to revisit). There is no right way to say this, but my heart is shattered to pieces.

After my divorce (my ex husband and I are at peace now), I met my spouse (domestic partners). My Joseph and I had a good and happy life together. I am broken, so broken and with no spiritual beliefs right now. He was a good man who did not deserve this, we had so many plans for our future and now, I am all alone. I am literally alone at home with all of our six furbabies. His family and mine are out of State, but I refuse to leave our house since this is our home where we built upon our hopes and dreams.

The first two weeks after his passing I had a lot of support, even they ran a GoFundMe for me. But now, everyone has gone back to their normal lives, which I completely understand. I know life goes on - but not quite for me. I get the occasional message, but the truth is that I am alone in this. Grieving is a very lonely and personal process. Every day is a new kind of difficult day with the tsunami of emotions I am feeling. But I am trying, trying very hard to survive.

I do not know what the future holds, I am living a minute at a time right now. Aside from my grieving, I have to now plan and prepare for what may come next. My future is quite uncertain and my main worry is our babies, who are my only reason to keep forward right now.

Thank you if you have read until now. Due to my new circumstances I made the bittersweet decision to re-open my store as I need the extra income. I estimate that I will open around mid September; I am too emotionally weak to open any time sooner than that. If you and I have anything pending, please email me at [email protected]

Again, thank you to those who gave me a few minutes of their precious time to read up to here. Please, hug, love your loved ones deeply, the time is today for you.. some of us no longer have that privilege.

My best wishes to you and thank you for your support throughout these years. I will see you online soon.
