Episode 48--Looking to 2010

Hope your holidays were wonderful!  And dare I say relaxing?

I'm chatting this episode about my holiday time with family and crafting.  Movies we've watched over the last few days have been good.  A couple of my favorites had Nicole Kidman in them--The Birthday Girl and Fur.  Highly recommend them both.

I've already got the seed catalogs out!  My favorites are Seed Saver's Exchange and Baker Creek Farm.  Which catalogs are on your table right now?  

Music by Wind is Mindblowing--Happy New Year.  Found on Podsafe Music Network.

Episode 34--Blue Sparkles

Our two new bunnies Bogie and Bacall are Satin Angoras.  What wonderful colors to add to our herd:)  And here are the new ducks in and out of the water  

And here is Emily, Shannon and wee Hazel of Twisted yarn shop.  Getting ready for Sock Summit!  They were very generous to donate a door prize for the Pre-Summit luncheon.

Stevanie Pico of Abundant Yarn and Dyeworks also was extremely generous in her door prize donation.  Here she is with one of the blankets being auctioned off for Doctors without Borders during the Sock Summit weekend.  And her crew dyeing it up for Sock Summit

The music today is by Carlina--The Perfect Word

Episode 28--Black Sheep Gathering Recap

I've missed you all the last couple of weeks.  There has been a birthday party and on course the trip this last weekend down to Black Sheep Gathering.
Here are the promised links to the vendors I purchased from:

Tactile Fibers--Maia and Brooke have amazingly diverse fibers in beautiful colors.  And quite a few interesting knitting, spinning and dye books as well.
Carolina Homespun--I always make a purchase from Morgaine at BSG.  It is part of my tradition.  The ladies have so many tools, fiber and yarns from fabulous sources.  You can get the Jenkins mini Turkish spindle here.
BMFA--Another tradition of BSG shoppig is petting yarn from Tina.  Even if I don't purchase a lot I can see the colors up close to make plans for later online shopping.  I got some lace weight and a couple of sock yarns, but I really am waiting until Sock Summit for serious yarn shopping.  You know As I write this I realize that I will only be purchasing a few special skeins at SS that will be for projects from SS itself.
Toots LeBlanc--I needed a bit more of the Jacob/Alpaca for the Spunky Shawl I've been spinning.  It was hard to stay away from their yarns, but I was good;)
Cindy's Treasures, Hendron's and Dyeing A.R.T. all got a bit of my money too.  There will be pictures over on my blog in the next day or so of the fun purchases I made.
This was such a fun weekend I definitely will be camping again next year!

The music at the end of the podcast is extra special as I realized when I visited Alissa Hendrix's site and found she was a knitter!  Enjoy Good Summer Rain.  I found it on Podsafe Network.
