Spun Sugar

Cotton candy, candy floss, spun sugar… I have a cotton candy maker that my dad bought me one Christmas when I really wanted one. Its a pretty nice one too! I also have the handheld kids version, and tabletop kids version from Toys R Us. Those work pretty well too for the price, they just make smaller batches. You can order replacement sugar online too, so thats pretty nice. Pink Vanilla, Sassy Apple, + Pina Colada just to name a few.

I figure felting fiber and making plush cotton candy would have worked the best, but I dont have a lot of experience with felting, so sewn it had to be. I might make one out of spinning fiber and a sewn “paper stick” just to see how well it holds up, but I have my doubts.



This morning Tom and I made buttons, and I can’t bring myself to just throw away the trash. Its too nice. This afternoon I am meeting up with someone I know from the internet…Oh, no worries it won’t at all be like Hard Candy though I have added the movie to my Netflix queue. I am meeting up with Reenie from Material Whirled for some thrift shopping and maybe even some spinning. I have already met Reenie before, so no worries of her being a 50 year old man with a penchant for luring spinning folk into his home with the promise of fiber indulgence. She helped organize the big Pluckyfluff Spinning Camp I attended last year, so it will be nice to see her again!
I hope everyone has a Happy Easter, may your baskets be filled, and your eggs be well hidden! I’ll be back blogging some time next week!
