KBOO Grateful Dead is playing a great live rendition of 'Sugaree' in the background this fine rainy morning while I sip on sweet creamy coffee from local shop Java Jazz. I hadn't been there before but I saw they had taken on new ownership and switched over to all organic espresso and local products so I decided to indulge myself with the righteous flag of local support waving between my eyes and my wallet :0) Now here I sit nursing Orion on the brink of nap time (maybe my caffiene indulgence isn't helping him) waiting to stitch up my new fabric order from Vegela at Etsy. Hemp muslin pants dance before my eyes dipping themselves in vats of plant dyes and the hemp cotton jersey just keeps changing into different clothing articles with each nursing moment that goes by - little boy long sleeves to a new hooded shirt I think I must have....Orion's eyes have closed. This morning I have been spinning on my new larger drop spindle a roving called Maine Blueberries again from Etsy *shop handmade damnit* Mainewoodsyarn and am making a beautiful delicate twist. I have been really into spinning lately and my favorite yarn I just finished spinning looks exactly like a ragged tye-dyed dress I have loved literally to pieces for years now and I still hold on to the scrap of what it once was intending on creating something new from its tattered stained cloth. Glad just to post a little piece of my warm cozy existence this morning, been a minute.

We're Bloggin'

Yay! We are up and blogging! Err...now what should I write? I guess a good solid hello and who we are would probably do, huh? Hello! 'We' is Codilollyskye, so far it's not much but a seed in soil has room to grow! Codilollyskye is a little crafty mama business featuring organic knits for baby, healing herbals and bath/body products and we're working on some stitched items, hopefully you'll see them pouring out soon!

Codilollyskye is a combination of my (Alyssa, that's me) four children's names: Lacoda River (Cody), Lillian Rain (Lilly), Oliver Steven (Olly) and Orion Skye. They make lovely inspirations and models for our products and pretty darn good kids too. To the left here is little Oliver, he just turned two years old and he is shown in a 0-24 month sized Organic cotton hat in Skye blue.

I am really into Organic and natural materials and am delving into wool felting as soon as my wool arrives in the mail via www.greenmountain.etsy.com great site! I am pretty excited, I feel very drawn and inspired to do this craft. Right now I am making baby booties and hats and am soon to be posting them as sets. I have made mittens and scarves for my own little family and now is definitely the time to be getting those out there as well! I can't wait to embellish my creations with little felted wool pieces! As you can probably imagine it is rather difficult to carve time out to do the crafts I am so inspired to create with all my little kidlins running around, however I do expect to see some new things floating your way soon. We would love to get some feed back, what do you think? Email us at codilollyskye@yahoo.com or...
