So! I've started my ILC blog which you can find here -> http://spinweavedye.blogspot.com/
As the quarter progresses, I hope to be posting some pretty looking things... and perhaps some disasters, but that's learning, right?
Anyway, I've also (finally) set up an etsy shop! Once I get it all nice an' purty I'll provide a link... Until then, know that I'm working hard to get it all up and running!
Life is gonna move quickly this spring - I can just feel it. Can't you?

Buffy the Worm Slayer!
Well, it has been a blast being sick, but I think I'm ready to leave the party. As of late, I've been surviving off of tea, pancakes, Buffy and Xena. Yeah, you read that correctly. I finished DS9 and had nothing else to turn to... Don't judge me too harshly!
Anyway, I haven't done much work in my garden as of late with all the deceptive sunny days leading into frosty nights of doom for seedlings. I'm watching my little ones break through the soil of their little paper pots and attempt to reach the light. How vigorous and single-minded they are! Tomatoes, eggplant, and artichokes all clamoring to reach the "sun". Soon enough there will be an entire slew of little plantlets to put out in the soil and encourage...
As for fiber arts, I'm pulling everything together for my Independent Learning Contract this spring. I'll be doing some serious spinning, dyeing and even learn how to weave! How awesome is that?? My father is so excited he is willing to pitch in for a drum carder and even a loom!!! That is, after I've gotten around to learning how to weave..... Thank goodness the college seems to have an ample supply of looms at their disposal. Poor things need homes and fingers to work their threads; instead they mostly seem to sit around collecting dust. I'll be posting more as things progress and will actually have a second blog chronicling everything I learn and cover next quarter.
