"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

sharing some happiness

posted 2 May 08 & filed under spinning

hi there. it’s almost one a.m. so i really shouldn’t be typing – - i should be sleeping! after a week of eight+ hour daily fiber classes at yarn school, followed immediately by the fiber prep class too, i’m beat. and then today, after the last day of class, i helped at the fleece show for five hours. it was incredible. but my feet are already aching and there’s still alllll day tomorrow and all day sunday. i don’t care – hooray for maryland sheep & wool!

but!! i had to share: earlier today i submitted four handspun skeins and one basket of handspun yarn to the skein and garment competition and tonight i peeked into the building where they were setting them all up, with ribbons affixed, and i’m pretty sure i saw one of mine with a ribbon, and maybe even a second one. eek! i was smiling so big all the way to the car, kinda chirping in happiness.

and for all of you spinners missing out on maryland sheep & wool – no fear, your friend andrea has some maryland sheepiness to share with you, as a happy thank you for being such nice readers. details coming up! as well as notes and impressions from my fiber week, pics too, and more.

happy weekend! and happy belated may day ~ ~

yay! I’m just now getting ready to head up there. :) I can’t wait to read what you have to say about the fiber prep class (I saw you mention it on ravelry as well). :)

Congratulations! What an awesome (but exhausting) could of week. Take care, rest up and keep spinning!

I cannot wait to hear about the fibery goodness! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you have a ribbon to bring home!

I’m so glad that you are having such fun – you deserve it! And your handspun will always win prizes with me! By the way, send me your address, please? There’s a certain baby shower you need to get an invitation to. :)

Oooh, you’ll have to report back and let us know what ribbon you got.

Congrats!

It wouldn’t surprise if the basket that the yarn is in was made by you as well!?!?
