Well here I am back at school/work already a month and I haven't posted here in forever!! All is well, just trying to get used to getting up at the Butt Crack of Dawn. The work day is a bit longer as well and always seems to be so busy and me so tired!! I still have several fleeces to dye and new prefelts as well as some silk! I hope to still accomplish all that, now esp as we are heading into fall and the temps are cooling down!(well that said we had record highs in the 90's just a couple of days ago!!) so I am hoping for a bit of Indian summer and maybe clean up my messy garden!! I am also working on some small knitting projects for Christmas that I can take with me to work and even if I only have a few minutes I can get some done and relax!!
I need to get some felting time in too! Thanks to Pam McGregor I really have the felting bug and if anyone ever gets a chance to go to one of her classes and/or her studio you will NOT ever be disappointed!!! What fun I had and she is such a dear!! Here is her Web site Tarvey Cottage Studio so you can drool over some of her wonderful work! I posted pics on my flickr this summer so take a peek! She will be teaching again at Woolfest next summer (I will be there for sure!) and also at the Gathering too and I hope to make that as well, but will be right when school starts so will see! Her work is amazing as you will see at her website!!
Now in Oct I am taking a spinning calss with THE Jacey Boggs of Insibordiknit fame!!! I am so excited!! She is coming thru the Medina Spinning and Weaving guild and I signed up 1st thing this spring!! Then on the 14th I am heading to Rhinebeck and meeting my little sister for the big fiber fest there at the Dutchess Co Fairgrounds!!! YIPPPEEE get to meet my online friends too as well! I am so excited about that and even my folks will be there! too fun!
So that is my excitement for now! Sorry no pics right now but I will take some for you soon!! Have a great week to come and I will try to be more dilegent on posting so you don't think I am dead!!! hehehe!
Obviously, you're not sitting around eating bon-bons. It sounds like you're very busy. I look forward to pictures of all your beautiful efforts.
