Wardsboro Town Hall Fiber Demo

Well, today the newly dubed 'Fab Fiber Five' have left their mark at the Wardsboro Town Hall. We had a demo day and added a few sales too. This was all to benefit the Wardsboro Library. Margaret Silva was weaving, Kathy Meeks needle felting, Jenna Konesko drop spindle, Alison Shantz wheel and Cheryl Flett wet felting. It was a super fun day to play and show adults and children the world of fiber.

Kathy and I have penciled a few classes. Very soon, a schedule will appear....promise! New things on board....that is all I am saying. Can't give away all the surprises:)

Fun Class...angels and snowmen

Today there was a class at Maybelle Farm...angels and snowmen. The results were great and a fun time was had by all. Here are some pics.

Winter/Spring Classes

Winter classes are usually at a minimum due to the wonderfully unpredictible New England winters. Kathleen and I are going to pow wow soon for the early Spring classes. So in the next few weeks, a schedule of sorts will be drawn up. If you know of something you particularly are interested in for a class please do not hesitate to contact either me or Kathleen with your ideas. After all, these classes are for you, not us:)

Northeast Handspinners Association Gathering

This weekend, Friday-Sunday, was the NHA at Mt. Snow. I was a vendor there along with Margie's Muse, Maybelle Farm, and bunches of others. It was a fun time, just being able to be with other fiber lovers and sharing ideas and companionship. It was a flurry of energy. I have met many wonderful new people...and have my eye on a new wheel! Hopefully Kathleen and I will go up to Brigid's Farm in Peacham, Vt soon for a little fibery road trip:) The pics are me at my table...raw fiber, dyed fiber, finished product!

Pumpkins With Attitude!

Well folks, Sunday we had a class at Maybelle Farm...Pumpkins with attitude. What a blast this was. The class learned how to make needle felted pumpkins with fun faces. Thanks to Kathleen, our eyes got a wonderful lash overhaul:) This was a buddy class, so the kids brought their 'buddies' with them to craft together. Hey, those that play together, stay together!

Vt Sheep and Wool...plus some.....

Well, well. What a wonderful time I had. The sheep and wool festival was a super day for me. I went with 2 good fiber friends....and we encouraged each other to buy, buy, buy. lol Half of a icelandic baby fleece came home with me...oooh so yummy. It is a tawny fawn color. That was the highlight... There were also some cotswold locks that found their way into my bag. Hum. Too many other things to mention.

Kathleen and I took a nuno felting class. Just curious how others teach and what their techniques were. Very interesting to say the least. We ended up with wonderful felted scarves.

Also, yesterday, Monday, I taught another class at Maybelle Farm. I think there are 2 little girls addicted to spinning now! They were the best and quickest learning little spinners ever. AND they loved it. One was just becoming one with the wheel and stated that she 'has to get one of these things'. It was so cool to watch. They just picked it up like kids in a candy shop.

Hopefully pics will follow......

And, I am working on a winter schedule...stay tuned. LOTS of new things and a new venue too!
