Spinning Fun

Last weekend I went to the NsRSA Camp Burton Spinning retreat on Vashon Island.
Not only is this retreat fun for the spinning and gabbing with friends but Camp Burton is really a cool place. the Staff there make some of the best meals ever. They accommodate almost every food issue people can have and they make it taste great. I even came home with a recipe. I stayed at the retreat center rather than the cabins this year and the little bit extra was well worth it. I shared a room with two other women who I know from spinning functions. We had a lot of fun together. I arrived there Thursday and came home Saturday evening. I could have stayed one more night but I felt guilty being away from home so long, especially since Dan is spending every waking moment working on our basement remodel.

Here are a couple of photos of people spinning...

My mom bought me these cute slippers for Christmas so I thought I would ware them for spinning.

The next few months are going to be busy, I have lots of beads to make. I just finished photographing this cute Bee Hive to put up on my Etsy site.

I'm going to apply for the "Urban Craft Uprising" so this week I need to make samples, take photos, fill out the applications and get it mailed off. I haven't done a show of this magnitude in a long time so I'm a little worried but excited at the same time. I'm also doing a couple of collaborative pieces with a friend of mine. We have two samples right now and they are so darn cute. Sorry I cant show a photos yet, it's top secret ; )

Well, I better get back to work...

A week late...

Humm, I'm a little behind in my blogging. I lost track of time while my brothers dogs were here. They took a lot of time and energy. They are extremely high maintenance and though I was glad to see them go, I do kind of miss them. (I must be crazy).

I got together with my Friday knitting group a couple of weeks ago for a Saturday dye day. What fun we had.
Here is one style of dying some of the women did. It was way cool!!!  I need to get a photo of the finish yarn.

The rest of this week is decidated to making beads, making jewelry and doing paperwork (taxes). Thursday I'm heading to Vashon Island to go to a spinning retreat at Camp Burton. Should be a fun time!
