THE PARTY'S OVER

For the past two years I have been consumed with the planning of the Association of Southern California Handweaver's Conference. It was held last week in Riverside at the Convention Center

There were vendors, classes, exhibits, funny hats, speakers and more. I must have walked fifteen miles each day taking care of business but now I am a free woman. Several people told me that there would be a void in my life but not the case as I am feeling nothing but relief.

Two of my pieces won awards. The Larriat, wet felted and beaded, won an award from the Handweaver's Guild of America, a special award from the jurors and first place in my category. The mitts, handspun/handyed corriedale, won for best use of color which came with a $50.00 gift certificate from Red Fish Dyeworks which I had no trouble at all spending.

IT'S UP!

The latest installment of Spindlicity is up and includes an article by me on my trip to SOAR. Lot's of good stuff including my fav, more Maggie videos. In this one she is demonstrating how she makes her special batts.

Working like a mad woman trying to get my projects ready for the Conference Gallery Showcase. This conference has been a big two-year project and we are almost there. Check this out:

Along with classes there will be exhibits of guild members spinning, knitting, felting, crocheting and, of course, weaving. You don't have to sign up for the entire conference to enjoy the vendors, guild booths and Galleries. Come to Riverside for the day and hang with the fiberistas!
