You might have noticed the little yarn party button to the right ——>

That is for the 2nd Homespun Yarn Party– happening on the 15th of this month!  If you click on the button it will web-transport you to the blog for this fiber extravaganza.  Every couple of days they feature one of the artists or sponsors and you get to “meet” them and get super excited about going and getting a pre-sheep and wool festival fiber-fix!  There are so many great folks there this year–I am so excited!  I will have my very own table there this year– along with my sister Matryoshka of the lovely Felt Forest needle felting wonderland.  We will have needle felted magical-beings, lots of fiber-orbs and handspun yarn.  There’ll be stitch markers and other goodies too.  Sure hope you can come by and visit! We’ll be at Md Sheep and Wool this year as well.  You’ll find both Gnomegarden fiber-stuffs and Felt Forest at the Cloverhill Yarn Shop booth– main d2 and 3.  Jolene’s booth rocks with the best of the indie-fiber world.  Make sure you visit!!  They will also do a countdown blog as it gets closer.  Watch for it!

I thought that it would be fun to have a give-away to celebrate!  All you have to do is leave a comment here and tell me you favorite color and I will draw a random name on the night of the 14th and the winner will get a free skein of my handspun yarn!! In that color if I have it!!( I can bring it to the party– or send it to you. ) Wait there’s more!  I’ll also pick 2 more folks who will win a 4 pack of stitchmarkers plus a  25% off coupon for use at my etsy shop after the show!  Yay!  That’s a pretty good give-away, right??  You might want to keep an eye on my flickr I’ll have a yarn party set there where you can get a preview of what’s coming with me! Here’s just a smidge of what I’ve been dyeing….  I’ll have 10 more pound of wool cooking soon!

I’ll be carding and spinning my head off for the next 11 days.  It might be sort of quiet around the blog.  I’ll check in now and then and let you know what Esme and I are up to.

In the meantime… I was working at my computer yesterday when I noticed that Hedwig had dropped in on her for tea!  Esme was sleeping off a late-night wheel marathon and meal worm bender, of course.  Hedwig poked around her cage for a bit, left her a note, and went home.

One last bit of awesomeness– no extra charge!– Marigold is now on Ravelry! HA!  It is so groovy to hear your kid say ” OH, I have to go check my Ravelry!”  She is all signed up for our spring gnomeswap and so into the whole experience.  You can find her stitches at cocoaloco.
