Timey Wimey stuff

Mathilda , our resident bush wallaby with her young Joey

Twenty one days to go til Bendigo show and this bunny here is in MORE total ACTION Mode!

Yesterday was a wonderful day out with the Box Hill Spinners group, doing a workshop with the Navajo spindle and the Mayan Spindle. It was a great day and I like to say a big thanks to Monica and Margaret and all the other amazing the ladies of the group for having me and Paul there. We had a blast!

Coming home later that day I was surprised to find more women of wool info and a flyer for the luncheon.
I believe there are only a few tickets for the luncheon still available and if you want to have a great time with food and inspirational craft before heading out to go shopping (or after , please book now.

 As you can see I am one of the guest speakers and I still snigger seeing myself in the quite serious line up of wonderful women doing talks at the event…wearing lime green bunny ears…lol

There’s a lot going on here at the farm: so many fibres still to dye and label. BUt there is lighht at the end of the time Vortex/tunnel: only about 10 more blends to dye together with some rare sheep breeds!!

One of the new projects I thought would be fun and kind of ties in with my Doctor Who fascination (to say the least) is a series of Doctor Who colourways. 

There already was a Tardis colourway I did for one of the Clubs but now I ventured into the wonderful world of the 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) and his amazing scarf. I wanted to make myself one for so long !, so I dyed myself some Doctor Who colourway. 

These are going to be featured across all my blends and you will recognise them by the additional tags: one for the 4th Doctor, one for the Tardis one and ofcourse the 10th Doctor, the ever amazing David Tennant.

Doctor Who colourway labels in the making

There are so many things I am doing at the same time I am in dire need of a Tardis that’s for sure ! Not only getting everything ready for the Bendigo show but also getting everything done organising wise for the Tour de Fleece Ixchelbunny team !!! so many things still to do I am in need of more than just a few extra hands..lol

I did want to do “just” a little write up on the goings on and put a reminder up that this week is the last week to sign up for the clubs if you have not done that already, but seeing I am an absolute nutcase and do not want to hold back on anything, I thought : hey, why not offer something special tomight: my new Viva Frida blend with agave cactus !

If you want to know a bit more about this truly awesome blend to spin featuring Navajo churro and agave cactus together with cashmere and angora bunny please go to my blogpost of April 3rd.

Have a fun weekend and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! You know me: I always love to enable!

All my contact details are to be found at the end of this week’s blog entry. Have fun and stay warm!!
