Whacked out from Wonderwool

Had a fab time at Wonderwool, meeting friends, catching up on news and gossip (and doing a bit of selling too!). I'm busy catching up on blogs as I didn't get to see anything but the coffee stand opposite (very nice coffee and very handy), so if anyone has posted any pics, do send me a link so I can see what I missed!

As a result I failed miserably to spend any money on yarny stuff, although I did bag a couple of lovely woad plants from Helen Melvin of Fiery Felts , some yummy veggie scotch eggs, two (yes, count 'em), helpings of sticky toffee cheesecake courtesy of the pudding compartment and a huuuuge choccy cake as a pressie for ds and nan as they had to stay at home guinea-pig sitting. All in all a bit of a calorific disaster - just as well humphing all the boxes back into the van then out again and into the house used up lots of them (tho' probably not enough if my waistband is anything to go by - oops!).

Back now and just about caught up on the practical stuff. Not sure what has happened to the garden - suddenly everything has exploded into life and the plants which were barely visible when we left are suddenly competing with the even more visible weeds. Guess what I'll be doing on Sunday?

Wonderwool here we come!

Another manic day. Last minute collection of stock, hectic packing, labelling, producing new catalogues (be sure and pick one up!), and lots of up and downs to the loft for all the stall display stuff. There have to be easier ways to make a living! Good job it's fun, too : ))

Dashing off now to print patterns and bag up some more fibres......

Fiber Baristas get into flower-power!

"Hot on the heels" of the Fiber Baristas Postcards from Home sock club (did I really just say that? Wow, long day = bad puns), comes the Flora and Fauna fiber club.

Take a trip around the globe with six dyers from four countries and sample some fabulous fibres and gorgeous colourways, each inspired by the dyer's favourite plant or animal. There'll be some fun competitions en route, so if you fancy joining us in some fibre-y fun and frolics, pack your suitcase and sunglasses (no passport required!), and book your place today!

For the latest news on what we're all up to, check out the Fiber Barista's blog and a warm welcome awaits you on our Ravelry group, so drop by and say hi!

April clubs on the way!

Club members, it's postie-stalking time again : )

All the yummy club parcels went out yesterday - no clues except to say that if you read my posts from last week you can probably guess where I was headed with my colourway for this month. (And no, my hands are still not back to normal colour yet!).

Piccies later when everyone has their parcels....

Poorly arm - ouch!

Woke up in the middle of the night in agony. I must have pulled something in my shoulder yesterday hoiking boxes around. So today I'm grumpy because I haven't had any sleep and I'm struggling with even using the keyboard, let alone lifting boxes and packing : (

Off to find some paracetamol......
