Yeah, We’re Still Here!

Sorry to have neglected this little blog…sometimes life gets in the way.  Hah.  I made a funny!  I work crazy hours, I have no life!!! 
Ok - am not going to rant about lack of life….too morose……

I have GREAT NEWS!!!!!  We are vending at SOAR this year!  Yahooooooo!!!  SOAR is the Spin-Off Autumn Retreat for those who don’t know.  It is an annual spinning retreat hosted by Interweave Press - and the location rotates each year.  This year it’s in Sunriver, OR.  This venue attracts spinners from all over the world.  I was fortunate to attend the 2005 SOAR in Park City, UT.  Unfortunately, I was so overwhelmed by the whole thing that I did not mingle at all.  Sigh….  I’ve met some great spinner folks online (Ravelry, heh) and am looking forward to meeting them in person!

My only dilemma?  I’ve figured out two choices for classes that I wish to take at SOAR - but the registration is online, first come, first serve.  Where will I be on that day?  At a B&B in the San Juans - Friday Harbor, to be exact - I am soooo overdue for a vacation.  Ooops!  Hope they have great internet service to I can get registered….

The goaties are fine.  Am in the process of worming, CDT vaccinations, and hoof trimming.  Am happy spring is here - but oh my, the mud!  I’m squeezing in a few minutes each morning for spinning - trying to leave the house for work in a nice frame of mind.  Spinning some green/brown roving, long-draw style for a light 3 ply.  Have started knitting the Oregon Vest out of this yarn.  Am really loving knitting on a bulkier yarn - soft, squishy, and very satisfying.  Who cares if it’s mostly stockinette?  My mind is very content with the simplicity….
