awesomesauce


I received an email from my beloved fibery pen pal (and "twin") Kippiann the other day telling me I needed to change my blog title from "the mundane" to something more fitting.  She thinks I'm not very mundane.  Yay!  I have been meaning to change it as well and since I've been feeling so damn awesomesauce lately, I thought that would be perfect.

What is awesomesauce?  Well, according to urbandictionary.com:
awe·some·sauce
-adjective or noun
1. Sauce that is awesome.
2. Adjective for something extremely likable or undeniably awesome.  <---- me.  

Back to work!

back to the happy


Alright, I'm back in a happier place now.  :)  

I'm really going to try to update this a bit more regularly.  I seem to be easily distracted by my spinning wheel as of late.  I love spinning so much, but when I finish a skein, I have no idea what to do with it.  My already huge yarn stash keeps growing, and my obsession with spinning fiber means I'm buying that too.   So, over the last month or so, I've been considering opening an etsy shop to sell my handspun.  I absolutely love knitting with handspun, and it seems that others do too, but don't have the patience to spin their own.

I talked to Brian about it, and he thinks it's a fun idea.  Today I spent waaaay too long trying to come up with an etsy banner for what I've been thinking is a good shop name.  But then I started having second thoughts - is this a dumb name?  Does it make sense?  Will it be memorable enough? I need help!  I'd love your opinion or suggestions.

Here were my initial ideas:
  • with a twist handspun - there is a With a Twist etsy shop already, but it is not yarn/fiber related
  • twist of lime handspun - again, there is Twist of Lime shop, but not yarn/fiber related.
  • limejuicy - this is my etsy/ravelry/twitter name, so it would make sense to use it, but is it too boring? Or a variation of it like limejuicy handspun, LJ spun, etc.
Yup, that's all I have.  HELP.  Ha!  And no, it doesn't have to be lime related or anything, it's just an easily recognized "thing" of mine.  I just don't know where else to go for ideas. 

I also need a new camera.  Where is my tax refund??

ETA:  I'm NOT creative with words, just with yarn, so I really need help! please?  :)
