So much to say

So the fair has come and gone and, although we didn't make enough for me to buy that farm I've always wanted, we did meet some great people, make some contacts, and had a good time. It's certainly not the end of the world and we have a whole lot to do in the next few weeks and months.

We did have the good luck to have a happy addition of our third loom to the family. Its a little 24" 4 harness with treadles, but the best thing about it is that it folds up small enough to be put in the trunk (boot, for my other-land friends) of a car. That means that when we set up I can spin while my husband weaves. As if having a third loom wasn't exciting enough.

So? What are we going to be up to? Well, Thursday we are meeting with a representative from "Kentucky Proud." For those of you not from Kentucky, its a state organized guild that helps crafters, farmers, and products made in the state. Its a very very good thing to get into so think about us this Thursday morning and hope for a good "fiber day."

Next, we have an application on the way for The Southern Highlands Craft Guild. Another HUGE guild that has a whole lot to offer its members. Being in ether one of these groups is an honor, but we're going for the gold and hoping for both.

Sometime in September is a fair at near by Shaker Town. Although we wont have to be there (I would like to be) one of our fiber partners will be and our goods will be offered at their booth. We'll be making rugs and baby blankets, I'm sure, for that. *grunt*

Then...yes, there's more, I have two more classes scheduled, one in October and the other in November. A large project to finish for a good friend, if I could only find that perfect material. And I'm designing a knitted cardigan while perfecting my cotton spinning and card-weaving skills. Whew! That's just the things I know about.

One more thing to add. Last night we finally bought the domain name and will have the website going by the start of next week. No only can you see everything made; there will be a way to purchase goods and order for wholesale, info on individual classes and loom repair, and ways to schedule or where to attend demos. Very exciting stuff.
