Well I’ve been a slacker lately!
I’ve been at war with my EZ Blanket which is nothing to the name, it’s just me and my inability to concentrate lately. My lack of concentration has been messing me all up and I haven’t been doing much fiber wise. Maybe this weekend will help, it is the Finger Lakes Fiber Festival at the Hemlock Fairgrounds Sat/Sun. With any luck I can sneak some time off on Saturday to wander through. I’d link to the site but the entire GV Handspinner’s Guild site is down.
On Sunday I’ll be at the Genesee Valley Riding/Driving Club’s Horse Driving Trials. I’ll be the paddock marshal again this year. So if you’re nice to me maybe I’ll bump up your start times 
I can totally be bribed with chocolate and assorted candies.
Still no cria. After losing the one on Labor Day weekend I’ve been obsessed with watching my other 2 pregnant girls, neither of which seem keen on having a cria any time soon. *sigh* I want babies!
The one fiber goody I do have to share with you is my new ball windy stick thingy. I bought it at the NYS fair while I was demo-ing. Finally, I have something that I can wind a center pull ball with on the go. Sorry for the blurry photo, I left my phone at home and had to use a different one for the photo.
That’s a beautiful noste pinne and your ball of yarn is very nice. Wishing you successful cria births…very soon.
I’m so sorry to hear about your cria! Hopefully the new ones will come soon and healthy.
Your noste pinne is lovely!! That’s one fiber tool I haven’t broken down and bought yet. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time.
So, so sorry to hear of about our cria…it’s just so heart breaking…we wait so long for their arrival.
Your new sticky thing is really beautiful. Hope you had some time to sneak away to the festival.
So sorry about your cria loss, but hoping the new one comes quickly.
Still no cria for us. I’m starting to think they’re not pregnant and preparing myself for feeling like a fool.
Have a great time at the festival.
The ‘new ball windy stick thingy’ is pretty and the name you have given it is better!! Sometimes it goes when fiber just doesn’t happen. It sounds like you have your hands full with lots of other interesting projects. Good luck as Marshal. That certainly sounds interesting! Sorry I would bribe you but I won’t be there.
No wonder you can’t concentrate – you lost a cria! Poor momma, too. I’m sending positive energy for the other two you are waiting on.
And I love that ball winder! I’m with Andrea, – how does it work? It seems like such an elegant solution for me – I have no ball winder, but love my home made swift.
Your ball winding stick is beautiful. Not quite sure how it works but it’s beautiful. I am so sorry about your cria loss. My heart goes to you and your farm.
Good luck at your upcoming festival, I hope you have lots of customers and someone to man the fort so you can still do some shopping yourself! I’m sorry you lost a cria :0(
sending good thoughts your way.
The stick thing is pretty, love seeing nicely carved wood.
