Hello, friends!
Oh, my goodness what a week! Thank you all so much for your b’day wishes here and on Facebook! You all are sooooo kind! It really lifted my spirits and dried out the damp feeling that was beginning to creep in about being 30! Thank you all! You are the best!
I’ve been running around this week trying to get everything organized for a blissful Easter Sunday and haven’t had a moment to catch up with you all. So sorry about that.
So, let’s start at the very beginning…. one week ago I drove down to the Greencastle Fiber Event. I love going every year. My husband reminded me of the time he laughed at me for going – this was 8 years ago – right after we had met. He had never known anyone that went to fiber fairs!
Eight years ago the fiber fair was a bustling, hustling place. There were 4 barns – 2 outdoors and 2 indoors. The place was crowded with vendors, animals and people. It was a jolly place.
Last year I thought I saw the biggest change there were 2 indoor barns and one outdoor barn. And I thought that was small and a sign of the times.
I was actually nervous this time when I went. There were 2 indoor barns and a handful of vendors in the barn outside. And the indoor barns were not as full as they once had been.
It made me wonder… and contemplate… and think….
But… that aside, I had a lovely time.
My friend, Cinda, had her booth at the Fiber Event for the first time. I am so proud of her. I taught her how to dye fiber and she took off with it. She is a true artist when it comes to color combinations! I just love her fiber!
And don’t you just love the name of her wool? SassyBee Fiber! It’s just the best!
All her colorways were tempting!
She even had some laceweight dyed for the non-spinners! Can’t wait until she does sock yarn! Won’t that be wonderful! Think of the shawls!
I purchased a lovely colorway – Frosty Fall Leaves! Isn’t it scrumptous? I can’t wait to spin it… I think it will be a neckerchief – what else? I’m in love with neckerchiefs right now!
