Editor’s Notes: It’s been a nice vacation…After compiling over a hundred featured artist posts at spinartiste.com, I took five months off!

A Surprise for Suzy!…and A Free Gift for You!!
Arlene here…I really can be a prankster sometimes. But before I prank Suzy, I want to talk about our beautiful new coloring book Suzy published last night and I wanted to do a quick post to talk about it.

Sparking Joy!
Hi Everyone, Now that we are just a wee bit into the New Year, we are hearing about all kinds of diets, cleanses and detoxes. And, I confess, after the partying I did over the holidays, I have been whipping up my fair share of green smoothies too.
Stash Busting!
Dear Fiber Friends, This is the time of year when I start to feel a rebellion against excess! I’m sure it’s a reaction to the holidays and anticipating being cooped up during the winter months. In past years, I’ve been myself through all types of self-designed programs to reduce some of my hoards.

As many of you know, selected finished pieces from those of us who have gone on the Journey to the Golden Fleece have been on display at the Bellefont Art Museum in Bellefonte, PA.

A couple of weeks ago, I got an email asking if I would be interested in reviewing the Louet Spinzilla 2015 September Fiber Pack which I agreed to do…and then it came…and it was like a little avalanche of fiber! The box contained far more than I expected. This is the fourth fiber pack Louet has designed for Spinzilla 2015. This pack contained 1 lb Wensleydale Top, 1 lb Superwash Merino Top, 1 lb Wool/Mohair Blend and a Gaywool Dye
Museum Show for Journey to the Golden Fleece Opens Next Weekend!
For the past year, we have been working on organizing a showing of a collection of twenty pieces representing the Journey to the Golden Fleece with the Bellefonte Art Museum. The project of making this happen has been a journey unto itself. Fortunately, I had a warm up project a couple of years ago when I organized the traveling Leather and Lace Challenge Collection with Deb Lambert of Picasso’s Moon. I thought when I had finished with that project, I
