SUN-Stellar University of Northshield

This past weekend was the SUN event in Nordskogen. In spite of the weather, many people made it out to share knowledge and laughter with friends, old and new.

This was one of the first events I have not offered to teach and not attended any classes. It was not on purpose that chose not to go to classes. But I got busy helping a friend with her baby, chatting with another friend about garb and just sitting and chatting with friends that I have not been able to visit with much lately. Friends who attended said the classes were very good and covered a great amount of subjects from Developing a Persona, to Sprang Weaving and more.

Sometimes the best learning comes from just sitting and sharing your knowledge. It does not have to be in a formal setting. The SUN event gave a great opportunity for a lot of knowledge to be shared. And it was a wonderful setting for Berwyn to be elevated to Pelican. Very well deserved.

SUN and inspiration this weekend

Good day everyone,
I know it's been ages since I posted. The new job is great but I'm getting wiped out by the time I get home from work. I'm looking forward to SUN this weekend to get some much needed inspiration. I'm about to embark on one of my biggest projects to date and although I know what I need to get done, I need to get that "boost" that helps us all move forward.
I have packed my bag of goodies to help purge out my fabric stash. While it's great to have tons of fabric, it's important that it gets used and dosen't just sit there.
I have some shawls I want to complete as these will be relatively quick projects to help balance out the goldwork project.
Hope to see you there and I'll be back with photos.
