Free spinning demo, knitting and crochet clinic to be given by FiberTherapy.org at the Funky Finds Spring Fling!
Well, another newspaper article about our www.fibertherapy.org group ran again in one of the local papers. This time, it was on the front page of the Sunday edition of the Burleson Star! Let's hear it for free publicity!
We've had a good response from the articles. About four respondents have inquired about our group through our website after reading the article. I look forward to meeting the newcomers and adding a daytime group soon, to accomodate more fiber artitsts! Sometimes we have to spread out of our couch and chairs seating and over-flow to the table area. What a great problem to have!
Viva la FiberTherapy!

Perfect for weddings, valentines, baby showers, tree decorations, etc., these little acorns were inspired by my friend Lisa Jordan over at Lil Fish Studios . See, I love her little hand-crafted, felted wool acorns, but alas...we are all allergic to wool in my house. A truly sad discovery for a fiber artist, like myself, let me tell you!
So, I made these acorns to satisfy my craving for cuteness without having to scratch, sneeze, or wipe away tears from stinging eyes.

I'm going to surprise you by saying that I am actually a very enterprising individual. I know, I know...you couldn't tell that from shop during the last year! I have simply chosen to curb my enthusiasm for business as I raise my young daughter.
One of the nice things about being 'small potatoes' is that I can afford to sit down and hand-cut 25 business cards at a time from my empty cereal boxes and hand-stamp them using my own fun custom logo stamp from www.terbearco.etsy.com.
I love the pigment ink I chose. It's just the right color and sits on the paper rather than soaking in so much.
Well, as often as I give out business cards, I won't have to do this again for at least a couple of months. I'll enjoy this part of the 'business' while I can!
