Moves and Changes ...

Part of the view from my NEW studio (ie: front bedroom). We have packed up and moved an hour North. Boxes still seem to be everywhere and I had to fess-up to how truly massive my fiber stash really is! Shock and awe (poor Hubby). Dare I say - 6 large, 8 medium, and countless small plastic containers FULL of rovings and batts and yarns - oh my!

With all the changes and upheaval of trying to get settled, the one constant is handspun. I have been spinning my feet off (exaggeration? maybe, but only slight.) to build up inventory for TWO festivals coming up in October! The first is the Tucson Wool Festival on the 17th at Kathy Wither's Ranch here in Tucson. And the following weekend, the 24th, is the Southwest Fiber Festival at Amado Territory Ranch.

These will be my first shows! I think making sales on Etsy since January has been preparing me for looking at the faces of fiber-lovers when they are holding my heart - uh - handspun in their hands. The flutterbys in my stomach are telling me it's almost time! : )

Had to share my most recent and out of character, spin!

"Witch's Brew" - 66 yards of SUPER Chunky loaded Art Yarn

100% Merino wool in rich purples and vibrant chartreuse swirling with eye popping orange and yellows, fluffy novelties of purple and black. All bursting with chunky soft beehive coils and twined with spiderwebs of black cotton thread.

Fun Fun! If you want to read more ... it's here on Etsy.

Moves can be good - this one was in the right direction for us. : )
