Where has Time Gone!!

Well I am back from my fun and exciting trip to PA, where I got to visit my dear friend and fiber pal Heather!! My, my, oh my, what fun was had by all! We felted, dyed, spun and just plain had oodles of fun!! I haven't laughed so hard and long and so much since I don't even know when!! Her daughters were the best and such beautiful girls as well!! I offered to take them all home with me! Then there were the 2 little kitties she has that were so cute too!! To say the least it was a very grand time and I hope to do that again if she'll still have me!! hehehe!! Thanks dear it was a true blast!!!

Now I am still working on Mary Ann Moss's class Full Tilt Boogie and I hope to start making some fun journals very soon (starting this weekend!!) to put in the etsy shop, as well as spin and I have loads of wool to wash and dye so there will soon be pics of all that as well!! I have some pics to share of my trip, a couple of journal pages I did in an old book I am using and a pic of some fab silk I received from another fiber friend, Omi!! I will be back when the sun comes out so I can post some of my garden that despite the crappy rain and cool temps and no sun is still seeming to continue to thrive!! I am happy for that!! All my pics are on FB and flickr so take a peek!! Be back soon with more news and pics etc!! Till then have a great weekend wherever you may be!

  7. Congratulations on the new blog Linda, it looks great! You obviously had a great time with Heather, I had to smile because the silk pieces you used for the front of bag 2 were ones I gave Heather from Ireland!.It's such fun seeing things getting passed around and the different ways different people use them!!!
