It just hit me. Filberg is basically a week away…Holy fat crap. Due to a brisk selling season, my inventory is a bit low. Don’t get me wrong this is NOT a complaint. I am thrilled that people are getting me as the designs are a bit off centre this year —but not enough inventory for such a well attended show is not a good thing…

I just keep thinking that the yarn gods will provide. My artisan hands will not give out and the inspiration will be continuous and free flowing. Perhaps my problems lies more with the inspiration. I can’t contain myself long enough to make 5 of anything and I’m always in the middle of graphing out a new design…This does not bode well for production work.

Sleep annoys me (unless I’m dreaming about yarn). It forces my hands to rest when they want to be doing something else. Unfair….How to steady myself and stay on course for this show? Any suggestions…John suggests not spending so much time blogging, but this is my one true decadent pleasure outside of knitting or spinning. It’s the diary I never had when I was eight.

Filberg, filberg, filberg,

Oh, how I love you and your large and lovely grounds, historical buildings, appreciative customers, wonderful sunshine and inspirational artisans.

Oh, Filberg, how I hate your demand for my handwork and making me worry that I may sell out. Who am I kidding….?This would make me love Filberg even more. I can hardly wait to see the customers that make this show stand out so much from the other shows that I participate in. Come to the Comox Valley and check out this show. You’ll see what I mean…..
