Well lets start with the fun time I had at Wool Fest with my friend and soon to be spinner extraordinaire Lynne! I did take pics of the grounds but my camera has been going on the fritz but will post them to flickr anyway! The Wool Fest was at Lake Farmpark out in Kirtland OH a part of the metro parks! It was a wonderful place and the weather was simply perfect!! Lynne and I had a blast fondling all the beautiful fibers and of course I had to come home with some (sorry no pics but I will take some yet!!) They also had a great rug hooking group their and lots of fab pieces on display as well as classes (next year taking some of those!) the needle felting class was fab with lovely pieces being created! so was a perfect day and even perfect weather! Lots of beautiful knitted, woven, felted etc all on display! Beautiful work!
I have also updated my Spindies shop with some new fibers take a peek and check out all the shops there! There are some amazing shops with lots of fiber goodies to be had!! I am also adding new locks and batts to ETSY The locks today and the batts tomorrow! So stop and take a peek!! I diz'd a new roving off the drum carder today that is quite lovely! I plan to get the pics tomorrow and add that to my Etsy shop! really like doing them so more in the forecast!!
My garden is doing well except something keeps eating my cucumber plants leaves!!!??? so told hubby to be on the lookout for the little bugger!! not sure why the leaves and have been adding LOTS of Red pepper to the leaves but seems to not mind that much!! yikes! I will get pics I hope tomorrow it has been cloudy and quite dreary but still no rain!! we need it now because the gardens are dry!! maybe still tonite or tomorrow?? and so with that I think that is about all for now!!
Tomorrow is my dad's BD so will give him a holler and wish him a big happy day!! will also be washing and dyeing more wool as well tomorrow so watch for new goodies to show up!check out Flickr for lots of pics and here are a few of Lake Farmpark and fiber pics of course!! I also wanted to post a beautiful pic from one of my customers of a wonderful Tam she knitted! She spun one of my batts and then knitted the Tam! It's just wonderful! Thanks Ramifications!!
