Halcyon Yarn 40th Anniversary Homecoming Party!!!!

Halcyon @ Halcyon Yarn will be hosting their 40th Anniversary Homecoming Party in Bath, Maine on July 17th. 


Halcyon has planned a very fun day, and I would encourage all who can attend to do so!

I really wish I could make it up to Maine for this special event,  however my thoughts will be with all of you who go!

Growing Up With A Love For Fiber Arts

Summer Time! :)

Summer is here! Do you have any fun plans for your Summer? Our family is getting ready for our summer by making our plans for travel. 

As far as spinning goes, my most resent project has been doing the class presentation for level five. I chose to pick the topic of the rainbow dying method, and have had lots of practice dying to get the video just right! The first time we filmed the video, the video went over 30 minutes (the requirement was 15 minutes), which would not upload because of the size, so we had to refilm the video. While trying to flim the video we were interrupted over three times, so we had to restart. haha.... life always seems to go that way. I finally have the 15 minute presentation done, so now I just need to download it! Since, we tried filming SO many times, we have lots of beautiful dyed roving. I will post pictures of the roving soon.

After level five is graded, I will only have level six left. Level six requires the student to go to Canada to test, however because of the small number of students ready to test (3 including me), they think it won't be until next Summer for all of us to test (they are hoping that by then that they will have 6 students ready). I am still trying to decide what to do.... as by next Summer I will be working on my college degree and most likely won't have extra time. They have offered the option of paying the $2400 to have the teacher come to me (which does not include transportation or a place for the teacher to stay). 

Any one have any ideas? 

Well, I hope you Summer goes smoothly and that you enjoy yourselves!~ I would love to hear from you! Keep checking back for fun updates!
