WANT
I’m going to do a variation of this for my classroom to go...
I had a wonderful morning on the Farm yesterday. We saw some Ruby Red Calves, the new sheep dog (a very well trained pup) and we met the mothers to be… The Gotland Ewes.
These beautiful ladies are fit to burst now with only a few weeks to go. They were shorn a couple of months ago, so that we fibre addicts could benefit from the best of their fleece before the lambs took the nutrients out of it… For which I thanked them personally!
So spoiler alert… I have set aside a beautiful fleece for Fleece Club (at www.sarastexturecrafts.com if you haven’t yet signed up)! It has a real mix of pewter and silver across the staple and will make the most wonderful yarn or felt piece… I came away from the farm with a beautifully soft woven blanket for my bed :)
I will have plenty of fleece in the shop too, which will follow in this weeks update (2nd March) and I plan to dye some up for those of you who would like to try it (I sold out at Fibrefest last year in an hour, so keep your eyes open for it!)
Hope you are enjoying your weekend,

The next podcast is up at http://sarastexturecrafts.podbean.com/2012/01/23/episode-7-a-new-year/
It’s been a slow start and a long time since I last podcast, so here’s an update about where I’m at and why I was absent from the audio show.
Don’t forget you can also find me on iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/dreaming-in-fibre/id438666862?ign-mpt=uo%3D4
I’m looking into getting this uploaded to the Android system and possible future videocasts too!

An hour, good TV and some wool… makes for blissful needlefelting!

I have just heard news of some changes to an up coming event this week. So I thought I ought to drop you a line and keep your diary updated. KTOG5 will be held on the 16th of October only, rather than the whole weekend. I am sorry for this misinformation.
So to recap, the shows this month are;
- KTOG5 - Sunday 16th October 2011 (10-5). Location: South Brent Village Hall, Station Approach, South Brent, Devon. TQ10 9AQ
- WCE Annual Genral Meeting Saturday 22nd October - private event.
- Yard sale of the 23rd has been cancelled due to continuing ill health.
Here is a link to my Event Diary which I update as things change http://sarastexturecrafts.com/page/5172-events.aspx.
Once again sorry for the changes.
Sara.
