spin, span, geSPANGen!
| i spun so so much today! i mailed out packages, carded up a bunch of stuff and spun it and that was pretty much my day. i made some amazing yarns, though. i haven't done a lot of freeform yarns...which is to say that i have had to produce a few of each yarn and they are neater yarns than these ones. i will skein them tomorrow and post em. so look out! and i probably won't be adding much to the luxe site, so if you see something you want, email me before i put it aside for the wholesale order. ok? got it? good. i am feeling incredibly unfocused and am super behind on my blogs, reading, researching, doing fine art things...when i spin, i can just set myself up and go, so i just put my head down and work. i signed up for a postcard swap in the middle of the night a while ago, so i also have 20 postcards to make. i will likely just do some collage. i will keep you posted, of course. there is a new show on called windfall, i am afraid to even mention it, because all the shows i like get taken off of the air after a few episodes. there was an amazing song in it and when i when to the website, i couldn't figure out who did anything but the themesong. so. there is that. i picked berries and took peeps outside with me on her harness, which she loves, and she went walking through the berries like she was in the jungle, little nerd that she is.  i have been getting about a pint of strawberries a DAY. insane, huh? and that excludes the ones that the little slugs and squirrels, etc, eat. i am really wanting to go to the local berry farm to get some berries and a little pie. they make the best pies in the world. really good. you walk in there and even if you don't like pie, you will succumb. also, they have a big gross llama and an old horse that lets you pet it, and apple orchards and all you want to pick flowers and that is always fun. it is a few bucks. so you can't beat that. oh, and chickens. walking around cockadoodledooing. smoochies, n. |

Hey ~
I wonder if you remember me, I had some work done last year and then I just kinda kept showing up around Animus.
I saw Gabe Felice at a show the other night we got to talking and what-not and I spurred my memory to come by and say hello, "Hello."

I think there's a Philadelphia Fiber Arts Guild. Someone mentioned it to me once, and they do classes. I haven't had much time to do research on that, though. I'm pretty antisocial and have trouble getting involved in things like that without someone else. And, alas, I seem to be all alone in my fiber geekery in West Chester. Heh. (There's no way my husband would go with me.)
I'm getting a ton of strawberries, too. And the grapes are coming in! This is the first year they weren't ruined by Black Rot (I think that's what it's called). We have raspberries, too, but it's not quite their season yet. When I was little, we went blueberry picking (yum!), but back then I was more interested in collecting the fuzzy caterpillars that crawled all over the plants. :)
Oh, and do you know any good fiber processors in PA? I haven't gotten a hold of the bags of wool yet, but I do worry it'll be a pain.
Can't wait to see all of your new stuff. You are so damn talented!
Can't wait to see the new yarns! So exciting!
