Fiber Friday

so...a bunch of us on etsy are designating fridays as fiber days. we'll be listing new items on fridays and publicizing this. if you're on etsy you should join us. add a note to your store front that says so. add fiberfriday as a tag to your listing so people can find it.

If you don't sell on Etsy...maybe you should shop on etsy! hehe. at any rate come on over and visit.

new yarn!

i'm in the middle of dyeing new yarn tonight. look for new colorways tomorrow or the next day! I'm excited. I'm trying lots of new color combos.

i'm also working on new batts...naturally dyed silk batts. Haven't quite decided what to call them. they'll be all natural dyes, blended batts. any thoughts?

on the front page

Can't believe it...that orange yarn in the middle...it's mine! Yay!

I feel caught up on sleep...mostly!

finally home...

it is Monday...and i am home. I slept in my own bed last night and have had half a chance to breathe! what a relief. Bits of news today.

I have been an active member of the spindlers list for years but recently have almost quit reading the posts there as i am simply too busy. Last week I finally made the move and quit subscribing. There are just too many emails and i am too busy. So, if you have questions consider dropping me a line privately at fionaoftheharp@yahoo.com . Part of the reason that i am just entirely too busy is that i'm in the process of starting a message board for spinners, knitters and other fiber artists. It just in the process of beginning but it will go with my little Totally Twisted Zine.

Speaking of. Totally Twisted Summer issue is running late but will be out later this week! look for it in your inboxes/mailboxes or you can buy separate issues on Etsy.

I've been getting more and more subscriptions to various clubs, both yarn and fiber. I would never have guessed they'd do so well.

Stephen's shoulder seems almost healed. (thank God!).

Brenden started kindergarten. (inserting those obligatory but

darned cute pictures of the first day of school!)

Amanda's doing all those "homecoming week things" this week. No, homecoming just never changes. It's Jersey day today...she decided that since this is what SHE wears to the football games, she'd wear it today!

not blogging

the reason i have not been blogging like i should (:-( is that i have been running everywhere for weeks. We left for Denver on August 30...so the days before that I was running around getting ready and trying to finish the tapestry. we were gone August 30-Sept.3 . Then I left town again on Sept. 6...those two days between, i had a meeting and i barely had time to breathe...certainly did not check emails or blog! I left early Sept. 6 and was in Wisconsin from Sept. 6-Sept. 10. Unfortunately, my month is not getting less busy. I am leaving for Eastern SD to teach at an event tomorrow. EEEEEEK! Hopefully I'll have time to breathe when i get home on the 17th. Hopefully!

OH, and tonight before i leave i have to put together 5 looms to teach on! and put together a handout. It's good that i love teaching, cuz far from getting paid, i have to pay to get to the event!

Tapestry finally done

My tapestry is all finished. YAY! I am teaching Soumak weaving this weekend. ACK! Scary. I went out and grabbed stuff to put together some inexpensive looms. I guess i'll come out with looms...oh well...more classes are always good. If you're headed for Cecil's Seige...it's a free class stop on over!
