the Big News

I must apologize for being gone soooo long.  I was a vendor at a conference last weekend, and I spent the last few weeks dyeing, and dyeing, and dyeing, and dyeing, and dyeing all over again.  The result was lots of beautiful rovings, batts and "ToeToez" sock yarns (aren't I so clever...ToeToez...ToTos...I live in Kansas...heh, heh, heh,...yah.  Well, it seemed clever at the time.

And I believe I can officially pronounce Project365 dead.  Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.  (Sorry, I seem to have  developed some sort of repetitive tick.)  Perhaps it is time to start Project52.  If I can't do one a week, I can be officially pronounced a loser.

So, here is my BIG news that has kept me so busy....I AM OPENING A FIBER SHOP!!!!  Yay, hooray, whoo-hoo, loud whistle, lots of sparkly confetti, large cheering crowd, and a hand shake from the President (whoa,... okay that last one brought it down...how 'bout this instead...) and a handshake from the Democratic Nominee for President (to be determined at a later date...)!  My mother, who has been my business partner in our gallery has decided to retire and TRAVEL THE WORLD...well, at least travel to the East Coast to visit ill relatives.  And so I thought, if I am going to work a heck of a lot more out of the home, why don't I do at work what I would be doing at home?  (And that is not housecleaning or laundry...trust me, just visit).

So far I have become a dealer for Louet, Babe, Ashford, Baynes, Strauch and Majacraft.  I want to be primarily a spinning shop with tons of fiber... from fresh fleeces to combed top.  I will have drum carders, spindles, hand carders and combs.  Also dyes (and a dyeing studio for classes) and yarns from indie companies and farms.  Most importantly, I have develped the ever so important image for my logo...

Cute, eh?  I am so freaking excited!!!!

On a completely different topic,... if you have lain awake nights wondering what the stretch of Kansas between Wichita and Manhattan looked like...

what the h*ll is wrong with you?!?

That's awesome news! I have a little fantasy along those lines, too. Denver has very few spinning shops (OK ... one, and it's not in Denver). Congratulations!!
