A brand new adventure - the biggest adventure.... We are off Grid in Alaska. Living in a bus while our Yurt is being built, does it get any more wild than that?

Time to teach the Wounded Warriors again....April 17th is the Spring Muster.....while our soldiers are recovering and healing, they need activities to keep them busy. Last year we taught MANY to knit/crochet and spin and they not only excelled, as all soldiers do, but they thoroughly enjoyed it. We gave each soldier a gift bag (and one for their spouse or daughter if they so chose) Each bag had a thank you card written from a citizen and a skein of yarn or two. A crochet hook/or knitting needles.......or a drop spindle with fiber. Lessons were given right there on the spot....and it was a wonderful evening.Please send Donations to

My First Skein on the Fantasia!
Most of my spinning has been done on a drop spindle....and some on a Louet....without a lot of success on my part....but with the Fantasia, I am finding I really CAN spin!!! This is my first skein, and with Scott's help my first true plied yarn. I AM NOW CAPABLE OF SITTING DOWN "AND FROM START TO FINISH" MAKE YARN! It's the little things that make our little fiber world rock! THANK YOU SCOTT for your patience and lessons!
Arizona to Iowa............familiar territory!
Are we in ARIZONA???? Nah..Toto, we are in IOWA!
These photos were taken in Pioneer Park Village...just a few minutes from where we live in IOWA. We really like this place so much that we will be demonstrating again here in the Spring. |
What are we demonstrating??? Well............it's not gunfighting..... |
It's certainly not fashion!!! Although that was fun! |
It wasn't farming...... |
Nor housekeeping! Actually I could live here with a few plumbing modifications! |
It was to Demonstrate Fiber Arts......Spinning, hand carding and Drop Spindle.....and Lizzy demonstrated... |
