back from Southern region spring war camp (an
SCA event).
i saw a TON of folks, most of whom i didn't know would be there.. i think i spent a lot of time going "but i could have brought..." sales were, frankly, extremely poor. I admit i was hoping for more shopping since it seemed to be a well attended event, but it wasn't.
probably a lot of folks saving their money for
Maryland Sheep and Wool this coming weekend.
I will be at sheep and wool on SUNDAY. so anyone who wants to get together hang out and chat, etc... get in touch.
SATURDAY i am taking a class at
Bead Fest Wire in King Of Prussia, PA... this event is put on by Interweave Press (yup, the magazine folks) and a similar event occurs in August: "Bead fest Philadelphia"
it was very hot and sunny at the sca event,
whouseknecht got a bad sunburn and i got a bit myself. if this is a test run for
Pennsic i am in serious trouble. aaaaaaaaaaand since my check cleared for Pennsic, i can safely assume i am merchanting at Pennsic again this year. i will *probably* be on street of Gold, but i never count on my location until i get the space number.
It is going up over 80 degrees (F) today and tomorrow, according to the news...extremes of heat and cold are not good for Kirsten's. i have been hospitalized for heat exhaustion/dehydration almost every year for the past 5 years. this is why some people think i am nuts for doing pennsic, but.. but..... its PENNSIC!
a reminder:
i have to place a
fiesta yarn company order this week. if you want to get in on wholesale prices, order a bag (4 skeins from this company) of all one color and type of yarn and pay up front. they make a lot of yarns, in a lot of colors....
the
Babe Fiber Garden order goes in next week. 25% off any spinning wheels , and many other products, but the order must be in by next Monday. (yes i can fiddle with that by a little but, but only if you tell me soon)
