Spinzilla Survivor and Success
I'm a Spinzilla Survivor! Last week I spun and spun away on my drop spindle, turning most of a lovely braid of Corriedale fiber into yarn! I began the week with a bucket full of fiber that looked like neon spaghetti. I didn't realize how bright this fiber truly was until I took it outside… Continue reading Spinzilla Survivor and Success
Orange is the new Yarn
I had to use that as the subject! I have only watched 1 episode of the show, Orange is the New Black, and I was not drawn in to watch any more so I really don't get the hype. I'm not an orange person, but these are the newest yarns to be wound up and… Continue reading Orange is the new Yarn

So, I went to TNNA…
What a weekend! I think I mentioned on the blog somewhere that I have started working part-time. The job involves marketing in the social media realm for yarn companies, shops, designers and products. A perk was that I was able to attend the TNNA Summer show in Columbus, OH. I got to meet the people… Continue reading So, I went to TNNA…
Recharged
I was off for a girls weekend with my Memorable Women up in Massachusetts on Saturday. I have one of those quote frames that truly sums us up, along the lines of "We may not see each other often enough but our friendship is a never ending conversation."We had time outside at Halibut Point State… Continue reading Recharged
