This might not be ‘strictly’ a tool tip, or perhaps its a tool tip that also doubles as a spin tip.. or maybe the other way around.. and if I carry on this way I will get myself as tangled as an autowrap around a delta orifice!
FiberyGoodness and Namaste Farms
One of the dreams that Arlene and I have had, since the inception of FiberyGoodness, is that one day we would be in a position to offer a teaching platform for other fiber artists, be a kind of catalyst for the sharing of knowledge. We are extremely happy then to be in production right NOW for a brand new course with the amazing Natalie Redding of Namaste Farms! Natalie is a source of in depth knowledge about fleece, fiber, their
Endings and Beginnings…
3, 2, 1, go! Enrolments are now open for the next instalment of the Journey to the Golden Fleece Creativity Certificate course! This is an exciting time for Arlene and myself, the first group of course participants are nearly the close of their module work, and we are planning Graduations! The second group are over halfway through their course as well, and the Galleries are filling up with absolutely inspiring and innovative yarns and creations! And now we have new
Exotic Sheep
Every once in a while we have an opportunity to share a real treat, and last Sunday was one of them, a special day hosted by the Hale Family on their southern Hawkes Bay farm. It was a rainy day, and yet the scenery throughout our two hour drive was magnificent. The hills were draped in cloud and mist, the rain falling on emerald green fields and the early spring leaves just reaching out from the many trees adorning this
Where the Golden Fleece Looms Come From!
Ever wonder how your Golden Fleece looms are made and where they come from? This week I am visiting with Majacraft, and was able to get a peek at the birthplace of your circular looms 🙂 You probably know already that we worked together with Majacraft to design and develop these little circles of weaving joy, and since then they have been making both the Golden Fleece looms especially for us and our course participants, as well as three sizes
Fibery Yummy Stuff
Good fiber, the yummy stuff that your hands are just itching to spin on sight, its the colours, the softness, the textures, the locks, the clouds, the crimp.. We know it when we see it, right? 🙂 This week we wanted to share some of that with you, the eye candy produced by the specially selected FiberyGoodness.com fiber sponsors! And its not only eye candy because they are also offering great discounts to Golden Fleece students! For this post I
The Colour Green
Transported to the deep dark woods, bathed in the depths of pureness, sweet smelling mosses, growing, mysterious, and mystic. The dampness, the greenness, trickling water sounding sweet and cool and the rich green canopy above, swaying in the breeze that never reaches the base of the trees. Its still here, and quiet, and it refreshes the soul to be breathing this air that almost seems imbued with green. In parts of Europe this is the realm of the Green Man. In
Gone Fishin!
Arlene here…Suzy is with me in the US! And, we are on a working vacation of sorts…so, no blog post or weekly email this week. Until next time, all of our fibery best!
Neon!
Its bold, bright, in-ya-face-colour, its effervescent, flashy, and people either love it or hate it. Neon. Those wicked colours that almost glow with vividness. Do they belong in fiber? In yarns? We have known about neon colour for decades, think of Hollywood, flashing lights, VEGAS.. neon has become the attention grabber of storefronts and theatres, cafe’s, nightclubs.. seedy restaurants and hotels.. It can mean many things, but it always says ‘LOOK AT ME!’ And now, we can even dye our
Suzy Needs More Coffee
Its true, I work late and sometimes mess stuff up. And today I see this has led to some confusion because guess what I did? I pressed the wrong button and published something that should have been saved as a draft! So please, if you have received a notice about downloading something, just ignore it and blame my concentration lapse! You didn’t purchase something without realising it 🙂 And you will not be charged anything for something you didn’t purchase!
