I went on a yarny adventure last weekend with Alissa and Bonny – to the Great Lakes Fiber Show in Wooster, Ohio! This was my first time to this event, though Alissa has been there in years past. Bonny and I flew in to Cleveland, then Alissa picked us up and off we went to Wooster for a long weekend of yarn fun. I highly recommend this fiber fest. It has buildings and buildings of vendors and displays, yarn, spinning, sheep, yarn, rabbits, food vendors, and more yarn. We got to watch a sheepdog herding some lambs and pet some rabbits.

This older reformatory is famous for being the place where the Shawshank Redemption was filmed, along with a few other movies.

This success has likely fueled some upcoming yarn shopping misbehavior, but I can’t grudge it. And finally, I am a little behind on my full moon afghan squares, but very happy with how they are all turning out. The horses on the Lunar New Year and the Artemis II mission patch are both commercial sewn pa...

It’s that time of year again where we are aaaaalmost, but not entirely, to spring. I’m itching to get some veggies and flowers planted, but we aren’t quite there yet. It’s still hovering around freezing a few nights a week, so we wait. In the meantime though: We did get a few hanging baskets for the front porch just to get a little color going! We have to bring them in some nights, but it’s worth it. How about where you are? Has spring sprung, or are you waiting too?
