Late Post: Tulsa Spring Fiberfest

The very first magnificent sight to greet you as you approached the Brush Creek Barn was all the pretty colors of Bridgette's yarn! All the brightly colored stuff in the center, yep thats all from Farm Girl Fibers and if you haven't seen her yarn in person then you are totally missing out. I buy way too much of it, so I need other people to buy it first so I don't get so tempted. I know is Brandi went home with some very bring pink that day. :-)I brought the little shawl I knit out of the cotton and silk that Bridgette dyed a while back, in case she needed a knitted up display item. I took the whole basket outside for a minute for a quick little photo shoot.
I stayed all day and we sat and did our fibery things and wandered around the pretty little pond at Brush Creek and took pictures of these adorable little booties that Rori made for Bridg.
Brandi came for a while and wandered around doing the picture thing with us and she has some awesome ones on her flicker. She took the picture that is now the banner at the top of the blog. I know its huge, but I like it, so for now it stays.
Bridgette did some spinning and now I have to figure out what to make with it. Originally I said hat, but I'll have to see if its enough. Its definitely "art yarn." Hehehe.
And lastly here are a couple of pictures that Brandi took of me working on my nightgown. Thats right, night gown. There needs to be a whole other post about that because I must have been psychotic to start a honeymoon nightgown with less than two months left to go. We are almost at one month left to go and I might be 1/4 of the way through it. Oh well, if I don't get it finished by then I will just have to save it for later. (I should have stuck with the small instant gratification projects I had been doing most of the spring. Bleh.)

So, Fiberfest = good. Fun with Bridgette and Brandi = awesome.

btw - Bridgette and I both decided to join make:Tulsa. You should look into it.

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

Which Would You Pick??

Straw Hat 60's Straw Hat Floppy I think I want one of these, but which one do I want? HELP ME!!!

More Partying

Joining in with Tickle Me Tuesday!  I hope I'm not overloading you, but it's fun to party  ;-) I love this apron , but being a non-pinky, I wish it was blue. These amazing  soaps .   Yes, I said soaps!!! I can't stop looking at them.  One of these days I have to give in and order some. I want this  dress  sooooo bad. feminine, country, old fashioned... love. These  potholders  belong in my coffee themed kitchen.  I gaze at them often. So, those are just a few things tickling my fancy.  Sundresses are also tickling my fancy, if it would only get warm! Go visit the party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy today!
