Midsummer’s fiber update and storytelling
Super-big-30-batt UPDATE at the old etsy shop!!!! Please visit and if you are a fiberfiend, buy some! There are some new lovelies there.
Tell a friend! I am home from the shop with the kids for the summer you know… I need to make some money on etsy for summer-adventuring!!! 
I’m only showing you one– you’ll have to go to the shop and look!
Some other weird but true news is that I have been interviewed by spin in public. You can check out a short sketch about the fiber in my life here. It was a fun exercise to sit and think about how fiber art and creative endeavors unfold for me… I am usually not so conscious of it. I am excessively thankful to Cindy for asking me to be a part of her magnificent new site. It is a wonderful resource and inspiration for spinners- new and expert!
Ok. I am off to the beach for a visit to the family this week. I’ll be checking in and taking lots of photos…

Spin in Public
See that new fancy button over there? ———–>
That’s my friend Cindy’s new baby Spin in Public. It is a wonderful site that promotes and celebrates hand spinning in a big way.
Here’s the scoop–
Spin in Public is a website dedicated to the appreciation of handspinning. Whether it is spinning on a spindle or a spinning wheel, lace weight, art yarn – you name it – Spin in Public is interested.
Spin in Public is a resource for spinners and those interested in spinning to read all about the art and get to know other spinners by reading their essays and interviews, seeing great photos and videos and reading what’s new in the spinning world.
We hope to inspire and teach, coordiate and celebrate, share and foster knowledge all about the joy of spinning.
It is a goal of Spin in Public to assist in organizing events where people actually go out and spin in public. This can be single individuals who set up a wheel in a town square and show the public something they have never seen before or a group of like-minded spinners getting together to have a nice day outside or in a public place that involves their favourite hobby – spinning!
We will keep a calendar of events, help you learn how to organize an event and share information on all events in progress as well as much more.

Check it out! It’s a great hub for all of your spinning adventures.
I just completed a small bit for her– a “spinterview” which should appear there someday soon. Cindy also is an amazing woman, spinner and fiber-artist. You can see more of her and her various creative adventures by visiting her home on the web, studioloo.
Have I mentioned that I have been playing quite a bit with A Midsummer Night’s Dream in my fiber works?? I have been having quite the obsession with it. Sort of combining my love of the play, the ethereal world and fiber, I’ll post photos and more tales of such soon. There will be batts and yarn !
