International Spin in Public Day

Yes, there is such a thing.  I did my part by setting up the wheel in front of Garden of Beaden, and spinning three skeins of yarn.  Received a special order for 6 oz of yarn - looking forward to dying the requested colors!  (Thanks, Pat!) 

Today was the second to last day of the Bead Shop Hop.  I made it to three shops last weekend.  Forgot to bring my "passport" this week, so that's it for me this year.

In the next day or so, I'll be posting my fall show schedule.  Please check back - would love to see you at a show!!

Two days after the trunk show in San Diego, we left on vacation.  Amazing trip.  I so love northern California.  We stayed in Gasquet http://www.smithriverretreat.com/ where we completely relaxed, lulled to sleep by the sound of the Smith River each night.  While in Mendocino, found kindred spirits at the Mendocino Yarn Shop  http://www.mendocinoyarnshop.com/.  Shop owner, Annelle, is passionate about fiber arts, and I was able to spend sometime with Lenora getting spinning tips.

After pouting for a week at vacation's end (hot seems so much hotter after lovely, cool weather) I panicked because I didn't think I had enough inventory for the Handmade Marketplace show.  Turns out, the show has been postponed until [tentatively] the end of October.  shew  Must crochet and spin diligently until then!

I have someone who's going to help me with photos! (finally, you say!)  Sandra from http://www.vintagegeek1979.etsy.com/ has come to the rescue.  She's a lovely person, and I look forward to working with her.
