Things are still crazy crazy crazy here. We’re a week from the surgery and I’m pretty much done shooting for the season, but I’ve got three jobs to process (possibly) before Thanksgiving. Then I have to clean my house over the weekend. Cross your fingers for me. And thank you all so much for the good thoughts for our family. I can’t tell you how much they are appreciated.
The other night we slept with our new NEW duvet and our stained down comforter and it was heaven. I’m feeling much better. I got a lot of sleep last night which was just what I needed and I’m ready to start back to work today. It’s amazing what deadlines can do for you – especially extremely important deadlines.
But today I’m here to talk about a new endeavor spearheaded by Linda Scharf of Stoneleafmoon called The Yarn Museum.
In Linda’s words:
The Yarn Museum exists to honor the artistry and beauty of all handspun yarn.
The Yarn Museum is, initially, a virtual site whose purpose is to honor the artistry and beauty of handspun yarn. Since yarn has so often been used to make other items such as hats, sweaters, rugs, this site delights in the (possibly) transitory state that yarn is in before it becomes the materials of something else – whether knitted, crocheted, woven or displayed in a bowl.
How you can be involved: tell us what you’d like to see on the site. Offer links to great information that you and others have made available. Tell us about sites we should link to. Write articles, if you like. Submit your pictures for inclusion in the online shows.
The spinners involved in this project are all incredibly talented fiber artists and I am honored to be included among the Circle of Advisors. (Now if only my WooLee Winder would get here and I coud start spinning again!) Find out more about this project here.
This is a call for all spinners to SUBMIT their yarn! There are many categories in which you can submit such as The First Skein Gallery, Spinners in Residence, Fit to be Plied, Oddities Gallery. For more information on submitting your photographs, please visit here.
As with most projects, an idea is just the start. The Yarn Museum will go nowhere without participation from YOU! Don’t let the dream die! SUBMIT!
Okay. Back to work.THANK YOU!
PS – Have you ever had a grapple? Strange, but tasty!
