April Update

Okay, so Robin and I are just plain old slow over here. I had quite a bit of overtime at work during the last few weeks, so I haven't had a chance to get on here and update the website. Robin was working on getting pieces ready for the first North Carolina Craft Guild Show, which occurred on April 10th and was a success. There were so many beautiful pieces of work at the show. This will be an annual event in Raleigh, NC, and I look forward to next year's show. NO, I did not sell any items, but Robin did. I helped keep our vendors refreshed and full of caffeine. :-)
I was able to take a picture of my beautiful silk yarn I spun from a roving called "Firstborn" from the Silkworker. I can't wait to buy some for myself. This skein (see below) will be made into something for my mom. I have about 350 yards of it. I'm not sure what the wraps per inch are on this yarn yet. There are hints of pink, yellow, green, and a bit of orange in the yarn which should make an interesting and lovely piece for my mom.

Both Robin and I found out we got into a spinning class at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this coming May. We are looking forward to learning more about "Boucles, Bangles, and Beads" with Judith MacKenzie McCuin who we hear is a wonderful teacher. We can't wait.
