We’re packing up and leaving for Filberg in a day from now.  Wow.  Soon we’ll be on the ferry, scrambling for the best spot on the deck to watch our approach to the Island.

I was at the studio with Sonya last night and every place I turned there was another pile of hats or scarves.  Inventory problems?  Not this year.

Hand painted mohair—Brushed merino

Hand spun goodness –Hand dyed merino

I don’t have that queasiness I usually have before a show.  I know going in that I had the luxury of experimenting and making what I liked.  That I dyed enough, spun enough, knit enough and was inspired  enough to get me through this show and the next few shows.

This year more than any others I have also had the good fortune of being around so many creative people with such great energy that real collaborations happened.

Embellished Felt Hat

I’ve got a lot of finishing to do.  Nothing that an afternoon of sci fi, some couch time and a large americano can’t kick into high gear.
