While I love the idea of having special day to celebrate our Mum's, I think it should also be a special day to think about all the special Ladies in our lives, Our bestest friends, our confidantes, Our Aunties, our Partners. Just because a woman may not have had a child of their own, does not mean they should miss out in our thoughts and hearts that is a day for celebrating the special people in our lives. Our Mum's certainly played an important role in our lives and that makes them super special, but my Mum taught me that everyone is special! The important female role model in your life, your Mum's best friend who helped you sneak in home when you were out too late...The Aunty who taught you to craft. The Older lady who lived 4 doors down who taught you how to make box cheesecakes when you were 10! There are so many important women in our lives, while we are growing up, and also as we move through our lives. I love my Mum, I know that sharing this day with other wise, intelligent, funny, crazy women, will not diminish my Mum, but more highlight all that she has taught me! That everyone is special! I love the idea of Sergio Albiac's StarDust Experiment. It makes me think that all the people, all the things in our life create who we are.<br />

Land, camps for 2014 have started back up, I had a fantastic time hanging out at the 40th Anniversary celebrations Camp for Warwick Spinners and weavers. What a great bunch of people!!<br />
<br />
I am getting all geared up for the Bornhoffen camp, dye pots are bubblin' skein winding arm is gonna fall off!! Can't wait for my new motorised skein winder to arrive from Nancy's Knit Knacks! I will have so much more time for dyeing once I don't spend half my time skein winding!<br />
<br />
Some Big Changes that have been rolling around in the background are starting to appear..<br />
<br />
The new Fiberific! Etsy Store is now live.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/Fiberific" target="_blank">https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/Fiberific</a><br />
I close the etsy store while I am away at camps, to save any heartache.<br />
<br />
While I will be adding yarns and fibres to the Etsy store, I am still selling Majacraft, SpinOlution, The Merlin Tree, Chiaogoo, Nancy's Knit Knacks, and all the other wonderful tools and bits and bobs, over on Facebook, via email and at camps and events... The website is not as far away as you may think...<br />

I have met many many amazing people and have even made a lot of new friends online too. I do count online people I chat to as friends. We read about each others lives, and instant message and chat online. Sometimes I would talk to an online friend more regularly than real people in my life. So yes, I count cyber buddies too. <br />
<br />
After ending off 2012 with only a few but completely awesome suppliers. Charly aka Ixchelbunny has and is a stalwart supporter of my little business without her help from the start I don't think Fiberific! would be here. Even though her own life has been completely crazy busy, she has kept me in good supply of her delicious fibres and yarns. Dave from the Merlin Tree Spinning wheels! The super busy guys from SpinOlution! <br />
<br />
This year I managed to secure Dealerships with ChiaGoo, who make amazing knitting needles, crochet hooks and nifty notions. Nancy's Knit Knacks, these guys make awesome wooden tools, the kind of thing you can bequest to grand children, they will last forever. Tan Tech, this is local to me (which is rare it turns out) Fantastic wool scour and washing products, made in Australia! And then Finally Majacraft, my newest supplier. Such a treat to be able to supply their tools and wheels! Not to forget the wonderful Australian Farmers who supply me with Gotland Wool and Mohair.<br />
<br />
Of course I will have forgotten someone, I always do. <br />
<br />
2013 was my break out year for my own patterns, with my first 2 going up for sale. There are more on the way, first was the<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/squishable-cowl" target="_blank"> Squishable Cow</a>l, it made its debut and my first Bendigo Sheep and Wool show, it was available in both kit and pattern only form. Using the delectable BFL Bunny Yarn from Ixchelbunny<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With end of year things happening at DD's school, Christmas knitting and organised the Yule tide Feast for the fam, I had no idea that the days were slipping away!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And as usual, I have more things I want to get done than I have time for. I just bought a second hand loom and I just can't wait until I put it together and warp it up, but I am not allowing myself the pleasure until the Christmas knitting and a other deadline projects are under control and the work room is tidy, at the moment there is a path from the door to the chair, but I can't sit in the chair as it has a basket of handspun yarns on it. So handspun yarns are going to feature on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Fiberific?ref=hl" target="_blank">Fiberific Facebook page today</a>, along with some exciting bits and bobs that came in my Majacraft order!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are looking for a gift for a crafty loved one, or you are that loved one and need to supply links to your significant other (like I do) then control C the blog!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In Stock and ready to ship in time for Christmas</span><br />

Yay!! It has been a long road but we are here! I am planning out my first order lots of drive bands and hand combs and other fun bits and bobs, but also 2 new wheels to play with! Now as I am writing this blog, I have received an email from Majacraft informing dealers of a price increase on January 1st, 2014. I don't know what sort of increase this will be. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So if you have been thinking of a Majacraft wheel, I really would suggest getting your order in before the 4th of December if you want to guarantee 2013 prices and delivery before Christmas.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">I have been busy playing in the colour pots too!!! I was included in my first ever showcase, which was very exciting for me!! Hand dyed yarns in colours inspired by Australia! I had such a great time, and I really want to thank the organisers!!! I am going to start working on some colours inspired by Christmas soon, I won't be on the standard red green and white bandwagon, so keep your eyes peeled!</span><br />

I should be doing some loads of washing and tidying the house up, but I don't wanna. I will tell you all about my inner brain tanty instead.<br />
<br />
I have been having a great day, heaps of dying colour tests, and patting the new silk yarns that arrived today! I am planning on having some silk ready for the Highfields spinners camp in November! So I was procrastadyeing hehe.. I am gonna have fun with this.<br />
<br />
I have some very fine cobweb weight silk that I am going to start dyeing to sell with my mohair nests, I dyed up a few of those last night. They are going to have a little test run at the Toowoomba Spinners camp that starts TOMORROW!!! I know I have to do some washing so I can have some nice clothes to wear LOL. It will all be good, I don't have to leave here til about lunchtime and packing up Exxy has become really fast, I can go from Pyjamas to done in about 45 minutes, it is crazy!<br />
<br />
I have realised something, I am that person who never takes photo's while I am out doing things, I don't have any photo's of Bribie Camp, it was amazing, and I had such a gorgeous time, perfect weather too! I even had a walk along the beach. But no photo's I was too busy talking to people and crafting and having a fun time to remember to reach down into my handbag and take a pic.. I don't think I even have any dodgy phone photos. <br />
<br />
So here I am procrastablogging, now that I have tidied up after procrastadyeing, I think I will go do some procrastacombing! Need more pretty mohair nests!!<br />

I see my alert that I have set to remind me to write up a blog, and then I think, yep, I have heaps of things to talk about, I will write it up after I finish this..... or this.... or this.... and then IT NEVER GETS DONE!!!! So this morning I the alert hit me, and I dropped everything...well not quite everything.. I still have my coffee.... I never drop the coffee lol.<br />
<br />
I have been everywhere over the last few months. I had an absolutely amazing time at the Qld Spinners Camp in July at Mapleton. If you have did not make it this year, you just have to get it into your calendar for next year! When I have dates I will absolutely share them with you! <br />
<br />
We did things a little different at Mapleton this year, there were so many mini workshops and info sessions. I even taught a beginning Tunisian crochet class, we had a blast!<br />
<br />
Mapleton was the first outing of my first released pattern. The Squishable Cowl. I am very excited.<br />
<br />

<br />
This pattern is available on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/squishable-cowl" target="_blank">Ravelry</a> or <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/knitting/accessory/squishable-cowl/64078" target="_blank">Craftsy</a> I use the Ixchelbunny Blue Faced Leicester and Bunny blend of sock yarn! It is so yummy!!!!<br />
<br />
I got home from Mapleton on the Sunday afternoon and repacked the car on Monday and First thing Tuesday I headed off on my Journey to Bendigo. <br />
<br />
What an amazing drive! was 1700km or there abouts to get to Bendigo. I did stop overnight, and I can tell you, if all goes well I am planning a return trip for next year! I had such a good time. And it wasn't just the acutal Bendigo Show that was so fun, I was also staying with Charly from Ixchelbunny and Emma from SpunOut. I think I spent most of the weekend laughing!<br />
<br />
After 2 hugely amazing events, funnily enough I had to some major restocking! All the major orders have arrived. So I am pretty well stocked up on ChiaoGoo and Nancy's knit knacks.<br />
<br />
My plan for getting the website up in August is slow going, but I am still moving forward....<br />

I am getting all geared up, I am off to the Qld Spinners and Weavers Camp on Friday, this is my group, I love these people, it has been so long since I have had time just to hang out and catch up. I am so looking forward to it! I will even be doing a tunisian crochet demonstration! So other than shop time, it will be major hang out time! I am hoping it will be just a wee bit relaxing. I get home from camp on Sunday night, have Monday at home, repacking the car and then I am off<br />

So Many new things!!!I have been bustling about at Spinners Camps, finding new fun things for us to play with, and getting ready for the Bendigo Sheep and wool Show happening Friday 19th through to Sunday 21st of July 2013. It will be my first show, so please come say Hi!<br />
<br />
I have been meeting some amazing people and making lots of new friends. But I am shocking at taking photo's of events, I am too much involved and then completely forget that I am carrying a camera because I want to post lots of pics!!<br />
<br />
I have the most gorgeous Gotland Sheep Roving, in 4 natural colours and I am just loving it to bits, farmed here in Australia which I love!<br />

I plan to be a better blogger.<br />
<br />
I have been having so much fun going to Spinning Camps and retreats, and while I do have my shop there, I also get to shop, at the Gold Coast Spinners Camp in early April I bought the most gorgeous bag of Alpaca, all carded and blended.. a white and black fleece blended into a beautiful grey. I am completely in love with this fleece, Alpaca is not normally a fibre I tend to play with much, but when I saw this is it had to be MINE!! I can't wait to see what the Gorgeous Girls from Heminninghills Alpaca's turn up with next!<br />

As you can see I have been having a bit of fun with it already!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now some of you may know that I will be heading down to Bendigo for the Annual sheep and Wool show in July. I am a Queenslander born and bred. I have not really spent all that much time in the colder climes of our southern states. So I am planning on the fact that I will be FREEZING... So this week I have taken stock of my warmer clothing... Turns out I have a great jacket and some jeans, a pair of comfy boots. And a really warm beanie a friend made me (thank you Kate!) But I am missing some little pieces... My hands turn to icicles here in Brisbane in winter, so I am thinking in Bendigo they will turn to solid ice bricks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With that thought in mind, I had a rummage, and turned up the most delicious 3 ply angora yarn that I recieved from Charly.... aka Ixchelbunny, with the gorgeousness in my lap I trawled Ravelry and found the perfect pattern.... <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/joan-crawford-gloves" target="_blank">Joan Crawford Gloves</a> and Angora 3 ply are a match made in heaven!! 50g is all that is needed! Gotta love that!</div>

If you would like to make something gorgeous like this <a href="http://www.ixchelbunny.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/death-and-taxes.html" target="_blank">Charly has some Angora 3 ply available on her blog,</a> be quick, limited numbers 50g $22. SO worth it!<br />
<br />
<br />
But I have been making pretty things for you too, do you want to see????<br />
I have made a few tweaks to the Mohair Nests. It has been way too fun!<br />
<br />

This is a nest that I have spun up, 50g came out to about 280m, I plyed with a purple overlocker thread. As I said I have been having way too much fun, I have even started crocheting up a basic scarf with the mohair, it feels gorgeous and silky. I will post pics in the coming weeks.<br />
<br />
Well I am gonna go and do something exciting, like wash the dogs or other such fun things lol... Have a great weekend. If you want to hear more of my antics, I tend to facebook ALOT... s<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fiberific/355735624443717" target="_blank">o like my page and tag along</a><br />

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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fiberific/355735624443717" target="_blank">Fiberific! Facebook Page</a> as I will also put up a new blend or 2 up there over the coming weeks!<br />
<br />
<br />
Pile of Awesome!! Will be added in small doses, so as not to overdose you on awesome!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been trying to get all the blog photo's up there too!<br />
<br />
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!!<br />
<br />
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...<br />

At the last minute I was informed that there was room for me at the Warwick Spinner and Weavers Group Annual Camp! I love camps! And I will be taking my shop with lots of Goodies! 8th to 10th March 2013.<br />
<br />
Also the Amazing Charly of Ixchelbunny fame is off to the Famous Bothwell Spin in, in Bothwell Tasmania March 1st to Sunday March 3rd, and Charly is Awesome and even more so that usual because along with her amazing puffs and floofs, she is also taking Fiberific Stitch markers, Chiao Goo Needles sets and Nostepinne, and Also some of the new Nancy's Knit Knack toys!!<br />
<br />
Now I am very very sorry about the lack of bloginess of the last few weeks. We have been sick and getting back to school. But I am nearly all better, but good enough to take some pics and have a chat!<br />
<br />
My very first Nancy's Knit Knacks order arrived! Again EXITEMENT!! They make some awesome spinning and knitting tools. But one that I love to bits is their Handy Andy Plying tool.. Have you tried andean plying (or blue finger ply as I like to call it) well this tool takes the blue finger out of the equation, also makes it that you can easily take a break from plying.. you are not attached to your wheel with an andean bracelet!!<br />

<div style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">
Nancy's Knit Knacks have developed and affordable and highly functional meter assembly for measuring yarn. This unit is made from American Birch and/or Maple Hardwoods. The unit measures in feet, so we will need to do a little converting.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are some system highlights (copied from Nancy's Knit Knacks)</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u>Yarn weights</u> - the system will handle most yarn weights. It will even work with certain ribbon yarns.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The <u>clamping system</u> allows the unit to be attached to a table, spinning wheel, loom, or other surface. The Clamp mounting hole is off-center which allows you to reverse the meter position if there is interference on your table surface. The clamp can be removed and inserted into the other side to rotate the yarn guide slot to the opposite side. The system is completely flexible. It will fit table thicknesses from 1/2" to 1-3/4" (it will even fit 2" thick tables if you remove the vinyl feet from the bottom of the meter). </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">It utilizes a <u>cost efficient meter</u> that measures lengths in feet as opposed to yards. The meter can be removed for storage during transit and can be easily and inexpensively replaced if necessary. Meter measures to 999 and then continues from 000 again. The meter has a handy reset button.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">An innovative <u>wooden guide system</u> for guiding the yarn through the assembly. This design replaces the traditional "curly Q" metal parts typically used on yarn equipment. You simply slide the yarn down through the slot into the main hole. If the yarn happens to "find" the slot while operating and starts to pull out, simply remove the yarn and rotate the assembly 180° and the problem disappears. We have carefully designed the posts to provide the optimal number of directions that the yarn can enter and exit without any interference. You can pull the yarn down, up, or sideways as it exits the meter without any problems. All holes are chamfered to prevent damage to your yarn.</span></li>
<li><u style="font-family: inherit;">Ribbon Yarn Handling</u><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">- the system significantly eliminates the ribbon yarn twisting problem provided that the meter is used while knitting</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="background-color: #ffffcc; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">(please note that we do not recommend that you rely on the yardage measurement that is created when using the meter in this manner)</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">. It does this be "capturing" the vast majority of yarn twist on the "yarn supply" side of the meter assembly which results in a significant reduction in the amount of yarn twist that occurs on the "knitter" side of the meter assembly.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">When packing up, both the clamp and the meter are attached to the mounting dowel and tightened and all of the parts are then secure and tight.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Measures 6" long by 2" wide and 3-1/4" high. Clamp block is made of a non-marring plastic. Vinyl mounting pads are mounted on the underside of the wooden base.</span></li>

I have been busily making lots of stitch markers this week.

It has been a week in the wars here at Fiberific! Somehow last week I damaged my knee, I don't really know how it just doesn't like me.. I had a week where I could barely walk so no spinning was done.. I am completely hanging out to do some spinning, only to remember last night that I own support spindles and could have been sitting with my leg propped up with a spindle in my lap, well I can laugh now. My knee seemed to fix itself after I had a day floating about in a friends pool... So knee good, but now I am a lobster. A lobster who can spin!! Picture that.<br />
<br />
While I couldn't spin, I did get lots of knitting and crocheting done, finished a hat off for a friend who is moving to another part of the country I used the<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ribbed-cap" target="_blank"> Ribbed Cap Pattern from One Skein Wonders 101 Yarn shop favourites</a>. I got all the right oohs' aahhs' which is all you really want when you make a hand made gift. And nearly finished off another hat in broomstick lace... No pic yet, will wait until it is done. But I do have a pic of the handspun Cashmere Fling that I plan to use.<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/peacock-lace-beanie" target="_blank"> The Peacock Lace beanie</a> will be made with this..<br />

It is nearly time to go back to school. DD is quite confused on how she feels about this, one minute she is as excited as she can be to see her friends and play etc and then the next minute she is sad because it means no more staying home with me, or movies at night or any of the other fun things she has been doing these holidays. I have to confess that DD has become a Fiberific Dobby. She loves to help, so why wouldn't I let her... really.. you can't deny people if they really want to help... She really loves the beads and helping pick new ones to make the stitch markers with. And she is DA BOMB at sorting colours into packets for the Lockable stitch markers...DD is out today having way too much fun I am sure... But I think she will be very happy to see that we have been restocked with out coloured lockable stitch markers!!! SO lots of sorting fun for her!<br />

Everyone is slowly going back to work.. kids will be back to school in a few weeks and it will be back to the same routines again... but not for me... I have decided that I am going to change things up just a little for me this year. Not a resolution or any such thing that I can lament that I have blown when the new year comes around. But more of a system tweak lol. I tend to be very much go with the flow. But this year, I am going to make some things happen. Fiberific is a new business and it needs some energy poured in to make it grow and be happy and flourish, so this year.. energy it is.. into everything I do.<br />
<br />
One thing is to get the web store up and running.. and to help with that my DH bought me a very thoughtful gift of a Portable Photo Studio and Lighting Kit... I am still learning to use it and also remembering that I have it lol... I keep taking pics with out it, even though it is set up and ready to go.. but I love it and so does my daughter, I was going through the camera looking for pics for this blog and I found that she has been enjoying it ALOT... so many pics of her Monster High Dolls and Lego Friends, all in the Light box lol....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8078/8371036283_58f43a9ab9_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8078/8371036283_58f43a9ab9_b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It has a grey and blue cloth to go in it for background and is LOTS OF Fun!! Awesome Christmas Pressie hey! I also got a Wii game I have been hanging out for for ages... Kirby's Epic Yarn!!! Woot!!!!<br />
<br />
Now as some of you know I love a little website called Ravelry... some may even say I am addicted to it... I would not agree of course. But this year I opted in to a Secret Santa Swap and I was a very lucky lady. I received my box just after Christmas so was like Christmas all over again.. gotta love that. And when I opened it, I was shocked and excited. The amazing PixieDuncan from Ravelry had made me a set of her awesome Pixie Claws! Handcrafted out of Cedar, they smell divine!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8097/8372106634_c7b6db9996_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8097/8372106634_c7b6db9996_b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
and a Pixie Diz<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8087/8372106266_c9cac38722_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8087/8372106266_c9cac38722_b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
and because combs and a diz are not quite complete with out fibre, Pixie also added in some stunning Cormo cross Shetland Fleece... which combed up wonderfully I might add. And as you all know me, it doesn't matter how many things I have on the go. I got a new toy and just had to play with it. So I carefully washed the fleece and let it dry and the next day I dug out some out knitting machine clamps and clamped it to the table on my back patio.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8226/8372216058_4884fff1e6_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="384" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8226/8372216058_4884fff1e6_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
and got stuck in. While I was working on this Abbie decided that it was ok out on the patio in 35 degree heat that would be 95F for some others. And she proceeded to build a Lego Friends Community on the other end of the table.<br />

All Done and dusted.. and look you can even see a bit of Lego Friends Village too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And when you have a great bucket of beautiful cormo cross shetland roving, there really is only one thing you can do with it!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SPIN IT!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to give the wonderful Hopper a run! I am completely in love with it!! Has nothing to do with the fact that I sell Hoppers... which I do.. and if you would like to have a test spin, contact me and if you are nearby, I can certainly arrange it for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8043/8371034397_8f44f45bfa_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8043/8371034397_8f44f45bfa_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it may look like I haven't done much, but in reality I only have about an hours worth spinning left to go... it is important to remember that the Bobbins for the hopper hold 225g (8 ounces) of fibre quite easily!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am looking forward to plying and dying this one, will hopefully have pics for your next week!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Now for those of your in another part of the world, no snow....no cold....eggnog not a big thing... we don't need things to keep us warm it is SUMMER!! We have icy cold drinks... and kids running around under hoses eating zooper dupers! (um ice blocks). But we still have kids getting up at stupid o'clock jumping on parents screaming "SANTA CAME SANTA CAME" with parents smiling and dragging their sorry butts out of bed!<br />
<br />
Christmas is my all most absolute favourite time of the year.. I love the decorations, the hype, the food, the songs, the get togethers.. And check my temp, but I LOVE picking out Christmas pressies, whether they are shop bought or hand made. I love thinking about the person I am choosing for and trying to pick something that they would love. I try not to do it in a mad rush, but there is always one that I miss and have to run about for like a headless chicken... I think I did ok this year. Still a few days for me to remember that one that I have possibly forgotten.. I will not get sidetracked from my blog and write a list lol.... maybe after...<br />
<br />
<br />
Now as I am in full Christmas mode, playing and cooking and hanging out with my daughter... (who as I type here is riding her bike up and down the driveway waiting very not patiently as I promised we would make <a href="http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/white-christmas-L2643.html" target="_blank">White Christmas</a> with her) <br />

It was a little bit like an early Christmas for me this week, a parcel arrived from Ixchebunny. It was chocker full of Cashmere Flings!!! I LOVE CASHMERE FLING...made up of Cashmere 5% Tencel 40% Glitz 40% Bamboo 15%, it is the softest most delicious thing you have ever felt.. At the shows, I would just pass one of these to a bored looking husband... and their eyes would light up, and they would be in... looking through things, making suggestions to their spinning partners...it was so wonderful to see.... I think it could possibly be my favourite of the Ixchel Blends.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
As this is the Last Blog before Christmas I thought I should have a special Christmas treat for you. I have here at Fiberific the Last of the cashmere fling... IN THE WORLD... I am not kidding... Not even Ixchelbunny herself has any. <span style="text-align: center;">There will be not be any more available until 2013 and when the blend does come through, it will be at a new price... unfortunately even fibres get hit with inflation.</span></div>

I had a little sleep in until about 7.30ish..... believe me with our little person, that is a sleep in of sorts... Then up and off for a road trip!<br />
<br />
We went to Jenny King Designs... about 1 hr and 45 mins from our place, it was raining and the traffic rolled... turned out trip into more like 2 and 30 mins.. but it was worth it!!<br />
<br />
I realised I have no photo's! Jenny had so much show and tell for me, she has so many gorgeous patterns on the go, I don't know how she does it!!! So much trying on by all of us girls including my little Abbie!! And just about every customer who came through the door also got to try on the new patterns! It was so much fun. I think that what made it even more fun for me was not having a timer on... On a regular day, I drop Abbie at school hit the road by about 8.30 get up to Jenny's by about 10.15, hang out until about 12.30ish and then head home and pray for a good run in the traffic to get back to pick Abbie up at 3pm. But Abbie is on Holidays!!! Sweeeeeeeeet! Jenny eventually got rid of us at 6pm, we got home at about 7.45 and now Abbie is bed, Hubby is watching telly and I am here writing.<br />
<br />
It has been pretty hot here this week... at least hotter than I like it anyway. So I have not been as productive as I would have liked... I have also been spending some time with Miss Abbie doing fun things... as she has just had her First week of School holidays!<br />
<br />
While I was out and about today, I got carded by Australia Post! So Tomorrow I am off to the post office to pick up a parcel, it is my next ChiaoGoo Order. I can't wait! I have a few things to post out tomorrow too! Which is also very exciting, a swap pressie for one of the Namaste Farm Rav Group Girls, will have something special boarding a plane very soon! I am not posting a pic, because it needs to be a surprise!<br />
<br />
The plans for this week coming include going to the post office and picking up the ChiaoGoo parcel full of knitting and crochet goodies<br />
<br />
Playing with my Abbie making friendship Bracelets.<br />

It is all very exciting. I was hoping to have them in time for the Queensland Spinners Chrismtas Fair. I had a lot of fun at the Christmas fair. Chatted to heaps of people about spinning and ixchel fibres!! The event organiser was running about taking photo's and she sent me this. So I thought I would share it with you!<br />
<br />

On Wednesday, I received a parcel from the SpinOlution boys!! I now have a new drive band for my Hopper and also the wheel and strap kit for the Mach 3. It will be much easier to get the big boy out there to show you all how awesome he is!! If you would like a test spin on the Hopper or the Mach 3, just drop me an email, and we can pick a date.<br />

I have no real excuses, I have been a bit under the weather and completely forgot... I was even reminded yesterday and still forgot to do it! I hope you can forgive me!<br />
<br />
So On with the week!<br />
<br />
Earlier this week I made it into the new studio of Biggan Design, for a Swedish inspired Christmas Lunch. It was amazing so many yummy things, it was very hard to be restrained, but I did try a bit of everything... I think.... And I must head to Ikea to do some food shopping this week... the Swedish Chirstmas Drink is sooo yummy.... Dryck Julmust... must have....and there was a Cheese.... I don't know what it was called but I will find it and I will EAT IT ALL!!! So nommy creamy yet still a bit zingy LOVE IT! anyway enough about food... I am getting hungry just thinking about it.... who wants to meet me at Ikea Logan this week???<br />
<br />
I realised that I have not been putting up many garden pics of late... We have some really yummy things coming up, we have been eating gorgeous beans in 3 different colours with our salads this week as well as vietnamese mint, hot oregano, basil, garlic chives and common mint, adds such a nice crisp flavour to the salad. Oh man I am still talking food... Maybe I should have had breakfast before I started typing today lol...<br />
<br />
Abbie's garden has been growing great guns!! She has some gorgeous mini sweet capsicums coming, I can't remember what colour we planted but they are fruiting!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8478/8211514475_604017a459_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8478/8211514475_604017a459_b.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
I am afraid that all the cherry tomatoes are going to ripen all within the same week.. Lets say that I might be up for some trading with the neighbours...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8204/8212602910_c4d467674f_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8204/8212602910_c4d467674f_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
and my first ever go at watermelons, I have planted 2 different varieties, Moon and stars which has a red flesh and Cream of Saskatchewan which has yellow flesh.... and the first to fruit... the Cream of Saskatchewan..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8342/8212650988_6b06af9b23_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8342/8212650988_6b06af9b23_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
ok ok so it has a looooong way to go before we can eat it, but it would be awesome if it was ready in time for Christmas! The cherry tomatoes are about 4 times the size lol....<br />
<br />
Alright enough about food already lol!!<br />
<br />
I have been busily getting some pretties ready for my stall at the Qld Spinners Christmas Fair on Tomorrow at 12 Payne Street Auchenflower, Queensland 9am til 2pm. Fiberific will be outside under our new Gazebo! Fingers crossed it does not rain!<br />

I have dyed A LOT of mohair and now Abbie is obsessed with mohair as much as I am, she is always on my case to make a new colour. She now realises that patience is most definitely required in the washing and dying process.<br />
<br />
So why don't we start with The Highfields Spinners and Weavers camp. I want to shout out a big THANK YOU to Karen for all her help! It was my first run with tables and trellis'. I will certainly allow more time for set up when I don't have such a wonderful helper around!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Wall of Colourful Awesomeness!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Highfields is a gorgeous town not too far from Toowoomba, and the spot for the camp was gorgeous! Overlooking bush and gully's I wish I had more pics! But I was having too much fun spinning and enabling everyone! There are more people in the world who have touched cashmere fling! If you haven't yet gotten your hands on some of this pure pleasure, then you just better do it!! It had previously been very dry, but they got some much needed rain while we were there. I even had a lame attempt at taking a photo of the fog as I went to go to bed on Saturday night.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8477/8186610891_2aea561186_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8477/8186610891_2aea561186_b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
said lame attempt...</div>
<br />
<br />
In stock I had lots of gorgeous Ixchel fibre combo's including the divine Cashmere Fling and the King of the lofty, Angorino! It was the first offline showing of the Chiaogoo range as well. Lots of Bags by Carla and plenty of Stitch markers!<br />
<br />
I got all the way there and was setting up the wheels only to realise that I had snapped a driveband on the SpinOlution Hopper, so he had lots of pats but no test spins! It was the wheel I had planned to spin on over the weekend, so I had to choose another wheel, it was a very hard choice, but I went with the Road Bug Double Treadle, It was my first real long spin on one and I loved it! I spun one of the decadent Cashmere Flings, and also started on another blend, the BFL Kid Mohair and Angora, it really wants to be Laceweight!!<br />

So after a much eventful weekend I got in my brum and drove home via Spring Bluff where Karen Made me eat a whole piece of Caramel and Macadamia slice... Karen is a bad influence on me and I would never have eaten that if she hadn't have made me......not... no pic's of this decadence thank goodness...<br />
<br />
Since I have been home it has been washing and dying and combing mohair.... have a look at all the pretty colours... Pics taken by my Abbie<br />

Amongst the washing a dying today, I have been hard at work on the website. I can't imagine it will be toooo much longer. Was a good day to not be outside, it got quite warm here today Hit 31 degrees C.<br />

I am sooooo looking forward to it! I have heard so many nice things about the Highfields spinners and I can't wait to meet them all! <br />
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8058/8165837430_5ab4476fe0_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8058/8165837430_5ab4476fe0_b.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7116/8165788787_7e5e01c34d_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7116/8165788787_7e5e01c34d_b.jpg" width="320" /></a>Trying to keep my excitement under control has been hard but working on this guy sure did help! Don't you love how spinning helps to keep you calm! I love it! I finished off the Navajo Bunny from Ixhcelbunny that I have been working on. Spun it colour section by colour section, then I Navajo plyed it to keep the colours together! <br />
This is 100g/approx 285m I would say a 4-5ply<br />
<br />
<br />
I have also been playing with my combs....again!! I think I have become a bit hooked on mohair, I love combing it into fluff puffs and pulling it out into roving and curling it up into a cute nest! We wont go into how much I LURRRVE Spinning it! So I blended some white with some dyed dark grey and made a yummy silver roving nests<br />

<br />
Then a package arrived.... filled with Raw mohair from Kimberly at the Mohair House! it was so gorgeous I just could not wait! When I opened it I thought...hmm I thought I had ordered white, but when I washed it I realised...<br />

<br />
I did order white, what a transformation. So I played with some white, then I wanted BLUE so I dyed some blue, this mohair takes the colour so beautifully. I now can't wait to comb up some blue!<br /><br />

<br />
So lots of things coming to camp with me, A HUGE pile of Ixchel Lovlies including so many colourways of the Navajo Bunny Blend that I just can't decide on my favourite. Fiberific! Stitch Markers! Both locks and rings, ChiaoGoo Knitting Needles, crochet hooks and nostepinne. I will have Bags By Carla! Both small and medium in some seriously cute fabrics! Kits from Biggan Design. And finally a few 25g bags of Mohair Nests, hand combed by me!<br />
