An open and honest letter…

Dearest customers and friends,

My little business has been suffering these past few months simply because I do not have the time to give it what it needs to flourish. As most of you know, we have five wonderful young children, the apples of our eyes, and the reasons we get up every day to make a difference in the world. People ask me all the time, “How do you do it?” The most honest answer is, I don’t. Inevitably, some things get pushed to the back burner or let go of completely. So I have this constant underlying tug-of-war going on in my head and my heart that’s sort of always there, like white noise in the background. Our kids take priority, or at least that’s what my ultimate goal is, but trying to be present with them and attentive to their needs, their activities, etc. has brought me to the realization that in this season of my life, I simply have to let something go. So for now, dear friends, I am going to close Daisy Hill Yarns. I don’t want to think of it as a permanent solution, so perhaps an extended hibernation. Nothing stays the same for long, and I know the kids will grow, and in the years to come I will have more time. There’s just so much growing, learning, changing that the kids are doing right in front of me. Time is such a thief, and they have but one childhood, so I’m going to make the most of it.

I have loved every single moment of the past 3+ years at Daisy Hill Yarns. I have loved creating, collaborating, and designing with you. I have loved watching my little yarn babies go out into the world and be lovingly crafted into something beautiful to be treasured by you. I want to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this road with me.

I will continue to share my creations from different mediums. I have set up a new account, and I hope you will join me there and follow along with what we are creating - knitting, dyeing, spinning, sewing, pottery, cooking/baking, and kids’ art. I would love to see you there! xoxo♥️

Day 18: Yarn...so I’ve missed a few days of the challenge, because (wouldn’t change it for the world though) + snow days (and days and days), so I’m jumping back in with today’s prompt: Yarn🧶

If I were any kind of singer at all, I would write a song about yarn. Oh I love it so. I need yarn in my daily life like I need food, air, family, sunshine.

I brings me so much joy to dye it, work with it, dream about what it will become, and to send it out into the world for others to enjoy. It’s almost magical. It can brighten moods and days, it’s therapeutic to work with it in the rhythm of needles and hooks. The possibilities of it in its natural state, a blank canvas. The warmth and comfort it provides.

This particular pile of floof is merino-cashmere-nylon and mohair-silk I dyed up yesterday to begin a striped version of the by 💛

Day8: This year I will…
Stick to my word and by word I mean “present.” I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, instead I choose a meaningful word for the year. Last year I chose “intentional“. One of the opportunities created by the pandemic was being able to be more intentional with my time since we spent so much more time at home together as a family. I’m hoping to keep that idea going in this year with being present. Present in the moment with my children and loved ones, present in my place right now instead of comparing myself to the impossible standards or façades we are bombarded with on social media, etc. I will still dream, but compare less, and be hopeful in reaching my goals. I will embrace this time right now. After all, it is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present💛

Day 6: Most Loved Project...all the Itty Bitty Hats by . All of our kids wore one home from the hospital, I’ve given these hats for more baby shower gifts than anything else, and the kids still reach for them in the closet♥️
Day 7: Morning...lazy Sunday morning, sweet husband brought me coffee in bed, reading through a spinning book my sister gave me for Christmas, and my husband’s famous smoked brisket on the grill for the Chiefs game♥️💛

Day 5: Friday Night...
At the climbing gym watching these two spider monkeys do their thing, and winding down the week with wine and a Valentine sock♥️

Day 4: Made in 2020...All that at-home time did have a silver lining, it was the perfect opportunity for craft-pa-looza.

I was able to complete a few sweaters, cowls, and socks, new colorways for my little shop, quality time with my wheel yielded some handspun for a future sweater, and I tried my hand at a few new crafts.

Crafts, memories, family time...I think we made the best of 2020💛

Days 2 & 3:
When I’m not crafting...I’m hanging out with these hooligans. I love this bunch more than anything. We do as much as we can together, I have no idea why childhood has to be so short. We love exploring the Flint Hills of Kansas, cheering on the Jayhawks, creating culinary masterpieces, planting rainbows (and memories). And of course, loving on Charlie Phog, the most loved dog in the world.
On this day last year (Day 3, last photo), the inaugural use of the excuse “my dog ate my homework” was used by Evie🤷‍♀️🐶

Gracie’s first hat! Start to finish, we did it together...she chose the colorway, helped me dye the yarn, followed the pattern, knit in the round, and finished/blocked it. Proud mama! Perfect first pattern...”Hat with a rib” by from her Kids Knitting Workshop book. Colorway is “Smarties” on our Super Daisy base💛

Hi y’all! I have quite a few new faces around here, so I thought I’d take a minute for an introduction...

•I’m Tara, I’m the dyer behind Daisy Hill Yarns.
•I’m a life-long Kansas girl. I’m married to a very patient, supportive, wildly funny, and all-around rockstar of a husband, mom to 5 great kids - two sets of twins (girls then boys) and a little girl (all by herself, but rounds out our family perfectly). And a Golden Retriever puppy named Charlie, who really owns us, to be honest.
•What I love most in the world: Jesus, my family, coffee, the mountains, creating.
•I’m a special needs mom, one of our sons was born with Down Syndrome, so we’re one of .
•I’ve always been a crafter and an artist. I love all kinds of art. My yarn obsession began when my mom taught me to knit over 20 years ago.
•I have a background in finance, education, and law, but my true passion in life is art. I want to live an authentic life and be that example for our children, so here I am, playing with color and fiber every day.
•When I’m not working with yarn, you can find me in the kitchen or covered in glitter and paint while doing art with the kids.
•I’m so very grateful for each and every one of you being here, and supporting our little family business. It truly means the world to us.
•I would love to know a little about you! Please leave me a comment...say “Hi”👋, tell me what you’re working on, if you have a favorite color you’d like to see in the shop, or just how are you doing today?💛
