about me

My name is Ashley and I grew up in the beautiful state of Oregon. I've always loved working with color and being creative. After meeting my husband at Florida College, we moved to his home state of Rhode Island where I was introduced to fiber arts. After picking up knitting, I became bored with yarns at craft stores, so I purchased a spinning wheel and taught myself how to spin. After spinning and selling my yarns online (I once sold yarns on pluckyfluff!) and in yarn shops in New England, I started processing my own wool. I love getting elbow-deep in wet wool & hot dirty water and the smell of soap and lanolin.

Brian & I moved from Rhode Island to Oregon in 2005. He is finishing up his Bachelors Degree at Oregon State University. He is on schedule to graduate with his B.S. in Agriculture & Fisheries/Wildlife Management in June 2010. As for me: I work full time at a Vacation Rental company on the Oregon Coast. I'm also in Real Estate full time - and am actively listings & selling short sales (pre-foreclosures) on the Oregon Coast. I also dabble in wedding photography and senior portraiture. I recently took up wood burning & painting as well...and I continue to knit and spin. I stay busy!! Feel free to catch up with me on my Facebook page, or send me an email!
