Colors of the Year? + Fleece Revealed Giveaway Winner
If you have been reading this blog for a little bit, you know I love to write about the Pantone Color picks whether it be for the season or the year — especially for the year. I always get pretty excited to write these posts. When I wrote about the Spring 2016 Color Report, the Color(s) of the year had not yet been announced although I had my guesses. I was half right. Based upon reading the Color Report, I

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. The coloring book, “Fibery Book of Coloring” is actually our second coloring book featuring Suzy’s beautiful drawings. Our first one, “The Golden Fleece Coloring Book”, came out over two years ago when we launched the Journey to the Golden Fleece the first
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.

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.

Painting with Color and Light
One of my favorite places to spend time is at the Winterthur Museum about two hours away from me in Delaware. I have visited many times during the winter (I like the Christmas display) and this year I also got to go with Suzy when she was here in April. As luck would have it, a couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to go when the Tiffany Glass: Painting with Color and Light exhibition was starting. This was
