Making up for Lost time.

It seems that sometimes life is a race. Or more correctly a series of races, some that happen one after another some that happen all at once, sometimes you don't even realise that you are racing. Until you look back and realise all that you have done. Well that is what the last few months have felt like. Not that this is bad, to be honest it is kind of exhilarating. Like when you dream you are flying (at least I do lol). Can you believe that today is Good Friday, I really can't believe we are here already! I am normally that person that gets my Easter shopping out of the way months ago, eats half of the chocolately goodness and has to go and buy more. But not the case this year, It wasn't until last week that I realised Easter was this weekend.

I feel completely overwhelmed by the lovely emails that I have been getting lately asking if I will come to various camps and events, I am trying to fit in as many as I can, and I have some new ones to add to the Events section, so check it out at the end I might be somewhere nearby sometime soon!

Now, as some of you know Ixchelbunny has made some new blends and tweaked a couple of her old faithfuls. Up til now, I haven't had any in stock, but last week I got a box of complete awesomeness, and while I really do want to keep it all for myself, I probably shouldn't. So today here on the blog I have available in limited numbers only a couple of the newy's! Keep an eye out on the Fiberific! Facebook Page as I will also put up a new blend or 2 up there over the coming weeks!

Pile of Awesome!! Will be added in small doses, so as not to overdose you on awesome!

What an amazing camp!

Hi everyone, so sorry for the complete non events that have been the last months blogs.. if you are looking for info and can't find it here, try my facebook page, I post very regularly and you can message me and ask questions. I have been trying to get all the blog photo's up there too!

So what have I been doing, well..... SO much and have such a wonderful time doing it... lets go reverse order, I have just gotten home from attending the Warwick Spinners Camp. So many wonderful people here. So many skills all going at once, it was amazing. Now me being me completely forgot to take photo's I get so swept up in the conversations and looking around that I am terrible when it comes to taking photo's. So Imagine this walk into a hall the first thing you notice is the hum of activity, people chatting spinning wheels whirring along, the first person that stands out is a gentleman sitting at a little table braiding the most gorgeous leather belts! I have never seem them made and so stopped and had a big old chat... if you know me, you will realise that I do that alot lol....I have come in a little late and need to find somewhere to put my chair and wheel to make my little Warwick Spinning Nest. I don't really know many people here and I feel a bit like Forest Gump getting onto the school bus for the first time, except that I was welcomed straight away, a family of spinners had space for me to join their circle. Mum and her sister, and adult daughter..They made me feel like part of the family. Such Awesome women.. and I could go on and on and on... to sum it up, Warwick Spinners Camp AWESOME!!

Now, this is a bit of a catch up blog and there will be another on Friday, so I will just add in the ever growing list of events coming up...
