Today i am starting a new routine….i will post on my wordpress website everyday……

Hoping that i can follow through with this new goal…

This year has been so amazing…all the traveling teaching and exploring and just having a grand time in my crazy fiber world….

My homewares design collection has been very successful and loving creating in all natural colors……

and then i learned how to dye…..let’s just say i fell down a rabbit’s hole…..so much to learn….

the above picture is a preview of what is to come…i dyed the fiber and locks and then spun them into artyarn…….

this is one of my new weavin

this is one of my new weavings….i really love how all the colors worked together…..
i found that weaving with your handspun artyarn is a wonderful adventure in texture…and to think that it is really like sculpting with your hands with the fiber……

getting ready for a very creative, inspiring weekend retreat with two of my favorite fiber gals….kathy utts and angela territo….the fun begins on thursday when i jpick kathy up from the airport….

later

i just got back from going on a cruise with joe….what a way to start the new year….we had a great time and can’t wait to cruise again….
of course i took a small loom and my knitting……knitted at three different beaches and all over on the the ship….
i finished another stephen west shawl….”esjan”…..with yarn that i dyed myself
i just love his patterns…..
i am looking forward to 2015……i believe anything is possible and all will be grand…..
spinning….need to get back to the wheel
and need to start promoting the art yarn fiber festival in april….with suzy brown as our main headliner…..so exciting to have her for the second year in a row……

we are on our way to Clermont, Florida

i will be teaching “not about the loom” workshop….at the barnyarn, angela’s beautiful shop….in downtown clermont

walking into the barnyarn is like walking into a dreamy wonderland of color, texture…..

i am so excited with all the changes that have happened this past year….i feel so lucky and full of a lot of “free_spiriting” journeys….

spinning handspun artyarn and then applying these textural ropes in a weaving have become my most popular class known as “not about the loom”…..

i have moved my fiber/lair studio into the towles court pavilion…..i have gotten settled and feel like i am at home

the holidays are here and we have two grandbabies ….. my heart is so full

There’s a fantastic groupon for the shop right now!  Here’s the link.  It makes a great holiday gift and includes yarns, fibers and finished pieces with two options available.

so…i am moving again…
my fiber path has taken me to this new journey of my life…i feel so good about all of it…
i still have my “thing”….knitting, spinning, weaving….
and now i to share in the saori weaver srq studio…..i am so happy and excited…
i will be in my new location by august 1, 2014…..
the events, workshops, and the creativity in the weaving studio will feed the souls…..
enjoy this path …….this journey……..this weave

It is almost time to leave for lexi boeger’s “yarnival” in placerville, california.

we had such a great experience last year that we are so happy to be able to go back this year…..making purses with leather and handspun and of course the owls……almost at the 200 count….

we will get to spend time with all our spinning friends and spin under the big pink circus tent……and did i mention we will be surrounded by pear trees at boeger winery….

i will post while we are there and share pictures…..

going to start packing now…..shipping boxes have to go out by tomorrow…..

happy fibering….debra
