Stash Revealed

I moved the carder up to the house this winter so that I wouldn't have to pay the heat bill for the studio. During my absence, I would occasionally open the door and throw in a bag of fiber that I had purchased and over the months a rather huge mountain of wool had accumulated. So I geared up and went in this past Friday and did some serious "Spring Cleaning" and reorganizing. It was just like Christmas!! I was finding fiber that I had long forgot about purchasing...And with my having to cancel my booth at the DFW Fiber Fest due to family health issues....I am way overstocked. The good news ~ I wont have to place a supply order for awhile. The bad news ~ I just placed another supply order. LOL! I am so addicted to fiber. :O)

So here's a few pic's of the studio. It's only one end of the shop due to the fact that my other hobbies still need to have their day (or ten) of organization.

Personal Stash

That's my son "The Blurr" in the bottom left corner there. He was so excited that Mommy had cleaned her studio so that he could ride his bike inside. (He's such a ham.)

Getting ready.....

I have started the HUGE task of getting everything ready for the DFW Fiber Fest.

I decided to post a few pictures here of the items that I will be bringing with me as I get them done. I have over 300 POUNDS of fiber waiting for me in the studio for the show.....

Last week I worked on dying up some Superwash Merino Alpaca. This roving is soooooo soft and fluffy. And the best part is that is almost spins itself (Wouldn't that be nice???). It's great for socks and other lace weight projects. I had a customer use some for a lace weight shawl pattern. It turned out so beautiful!!!! She doesn't have a digital camera so I'm trying to meet up with her so I can get a photo to post.

Take Care Everyone and I'll See You There!!!!!
