Well, I am ashamed to say that it has been way to long since I have written on my BLOG. I was reminded of that today when I received a phone call from Claudia in FL. So. I decided that I would write a bit today about what I will be doing in the next few weeks and they try to catch up on what I have been doing over the last few months.

First, I have recently joined the Palmetto Fiber Arts Guild in the Charleston SC Metro area. I am very excited that I will soon be learning to spin and I hope to have a spinning wheel of my own by the summer. I will have to chance to attend a Spinning class at Middleton Place Plantation on April 26-27th. Actually, I will be selling wool and yarn at the Sheep Festival they are holding there, but they agreed to put me in the area by the spinners since I want to learn to spin. And, I might even get spin while I am there if it is not too busy. There will be lots going on at the Festival including sheep shearing, dyeing, spinning and weaving demos and lots of food and hospitality. So, if you are in the area, you might want to check it out.

Second, I will be teaching a class at Margiotta's for people with Babylock Embellishers. I'll be posting another message with a sample of the project. The class will be on April 30th. Let me know if you would like to attend.

Third, expect to see some new photos in my blog of some of the projects that I have been working on lately. I will try to add some detail about how I made them, but no promises about that right away. For now, just think of them as "eye candy" as Claudia said to me.

That's all for right now. More to come....soon.
