Flock Retreat Announcement



: (

Sadly, we did not fill
our classes for
Flock Retreat 2011 in
New Harmony, Indiana.
This years event has been
cancelled.


Saturday

The Meadows

My cup runneth over ...
I am bulging at the seams ....
I need to get organized!
So here is my new little
corner of the universe.
Pre-prep at the
Country Cabin at
The Meadows.
Now, let's git to settin up!
(hoosier for "roll up your sleeves and make something nice")

Ta-da! Much better!
What a lift. Less muss and fuss
to step over, walk around, and stack
at my barn.
Now back to work!
Shaker Village Traditional Craft show
is less than 4 weeks away.


Friday

More Venoge and Vevay

Here is my bff,
with the hatchet,
looking like she is searching
for a run away chicken,
instead of pounding in the open sign
up at the road !

The village of Vevay,
pronounced Vee-vee,
quiet and still on Sunday morning,
sits on the banks of the
mighty Ohio River.

This heavenly home and barn
belong to a lovely fiber worker, Melodee,
in Vevay. Just off in the
woods is her dye kitchen !
Perfect .....

Southern Indiana


Time traveling last weekend
took me to
Switzerland Co, Indiana.
where I visited
the historic Swiss farmstead
under the wing of my friend

Thursday

On a mission !


The tip of the iceberg - 2 of my original tea cozies.
Oh, tea cozies, you say.
Quaint.
Not these numbers ... more like
radical, renegade, maybe even revolutionary!



Lucy Bird - has suitcase, will travel!

Spreading the word at fiber festivals
can be a full time job!
But such fun, chatting up our retreat,
and meeting lots of new friends.
See all the details at
Deadline is August 1.

sights to behold ...

New Harmony is filled with such history, and we are lucky
enough to look forward to our wonderful
FLOCK Retreat for 2011 at the Barn Abbey.
If you don't know about it, drop over to
www.flockretreat.blogspot.com
and investigate. We are too excited!

Tuesday

A Swell Show !

It was that!
And promises to be a much anticipated
annual event.

Hat? no. Purse? no.
Then what the h#$%?

A tea cozy. Yes!

A funky, recycled, upswing of a kitchen counter folk art piece.
Don't drink tea? Then coffee cozy . . . or french press cozy . . . or
whatever you want it to be cozy!
Each with it's own personality and embellishments.
It's a revival!
Some are renegade, some are radical, a few even revolutionary!
(perhaps I fabricate....)




Hand dyes . . .

And more hand dyes . . . !

Catching up on the home front after the 5 days away.
Will be back soon.
Much to get ready for. . .

Kentucky Sheep and Fiber in one month!!!
