I am a stay at home mom that enjoys many different crafts and hobbies. I enjoy making my own homemade soaps and toiletries as well as spinning wool and other fibers to use to make knitted and crochet items. I homeschool my children so my children are learning new skills as we create our crafty creations and I enjoy teach others new crafts and skills as well.

Fibery Goodness
Ok, so there might not be such a word as fibery goodness, but when you see a pile of fiber that look so soft you want to sleep on it, then what else could it be. I have been washing up fiber for the Fiber prep class this weekend. I will be taking some raw wool for them to wash as well as washed wool for them to card and comb. It should be quite the experience. I had hoped to have some dyed, but when it comes down to it the dyed stuff would work better for next class in two weeks. This class will focus on getting the wool cleaned and then preparing it to card or comb and comb and or carding it. I am hoping to have at least an hour at the end of the class to spin. This weeks homework will consist of spinning up the fiber we didn't finish in our last class. I just can't wait till Saturday. :o)
