Another Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival behind us…

Ah Maryland Sheep and Wool. It’s that festival we all love and hate at the same time. SO good to see friends, pet sheep, drool over fleeces.. but NEVER enough money to buy all the pretty, yarny, shiny things we want to fill our studios and stashes!! This year was no different…

Starting 2014 with Inspiration- Journey to the Golden Fleece

There is something special happening right now.  The Journey to the Golden Fleece is a creative challenge, it’s an art journal exercise with fiber as a medium,  and it’s designed to expand your internal horizons and your fiber knowledge.

Stitches South and SWAY Festival- Vacation Wrapped up in Shows!

These last few weeks have been a whirlwind of color and fiber and driving and oysters. It was all so much fun, it made all the months of work prepping and the hard work it takes to do a huge show.. but it’s all worth it. Especially when you get a vacation included.

Spring Festivals Here We Come!!

The time of year we all love is upon us! SPRING!! Spring to me means fleeces, baby lambs and kids on the farms, and FESTIVALS!! Things are in crazy mode here as we begin our season in one week from today!

Yarnival 2012- Return to Hangtown

I can’t believe a full year has passed since the first Yarnival, at the Pluckyfluff Studio in the Boeger Vineyard Orchard. July brought me back to Hangtown, and back to Boeger for the second Yarnival! And what a celebration it was!

Maryland Sheep and Wool, AKA Crab Tour 2012

Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival is my “new” yearly pilgrimage up to Maryland for fiber, fun and CRABS!!  This is the second year my handspun and fiber were one of the featured independent artists carried in CloverHill Yarn shop.
