Thoughts to Weave

Last post I promised you a guest writer ~ someone very dear to my heart. I have known him my entire life. When I was growing up and other people would ask who my hero was, I always replied "My brother!" He has it all: he is handsome {when we were growing up girls offered me money for his pictures.. but I would not let them buy any. Naturally this made them want them even more!}, he is intelligent and he has a great sense of humor. {Sorry ladies, he is married!} When he sent me the following, I immediately shot back with an email asking, "May I please post your list?" Being the Dear Brother {DB} that he is, he wrote back granting his permission. Before you read his thoughts, take a moment and read my description of As the Wool Turns at the top of my blog and the quote I have at the bottom of my blog. Now without making you wait any longer, I present to you:

Thoughts to weave.....

1. The whole world is a ball of wool. Be careful how you weave it.

2. Life's tapestry waits for no man.

3. I was spinning and weaving when a bead got in my eye. I woke up and found I had pulled the wool over my eyes.

4. As the wool turns I sat on a knitting needle.

5. Wet wool is hard to love.

6. Every person has a thread to weave, discovering yours is wet can be the pits.

7. Every person has a thread to weave, discovering yours came from an ugly sheep stinks.

8. The spinning stops here.

9. Growing up as the Knitted Zebra's brother, I could always tell when she was mad at me. At Christmas I would get a sweater made from steel wool.

10. Don't weave while driving.

Thanks DB!!

I hope you will leave a comment to let him know you enjoyed his thoughts. I want to entice him to write more for us!

A Special Invitation for Saturday, June 10th
by Hummingbird Hill Farms and Angora Jane's Fibers

You are invited to a fiber-artsy market and play day. Do not worry if you do not know how to spin, just bring your love of fiber in any form. We are going to play games, share ideas and have a market day. For those of you who are familiar with Rock Day, this is going to be similar to that; however, the emphasis will be on having fun and The Playing of the Games. On June 10, 2006, we will be at Henry Zarrow Library from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The address is 2224 West 50th Street, in West Tulsa.

If you cannot attend all day, stay as long as you can. If you have anything that you would like to sell that is fiber related, there will be an area for Market Day. It can be fiber, yarn, roving, spinning wheels, drop spindles, spinning or weaving supplies, yarn, etc. You will also need to bring at least one item that you have purchased that you are not really sure why you bought it and do not know what to do with it. It does not have to be fiber related and you will NOT leave the library with it.

If just gets better from here. If you have something for show and tell, please bring it with you. Bring supplies (if you have them) for the activities, like fiber to spin, a spinning wheel, ball winders and a pair of scissors. If you do not have a wheel or drop spindle, we will be playing games that do not require a spinning wheel, and there will be several extras to share.

Please bring at least one item to offer as a prize, it does not have to be fiber related. In the past we have had jelly, soap, honey,...... The list just goes on and on...... If you would like to bring more than one prize ----- Oh Goody.

We will be playing dirty rabbit exchange. To participate in this game you will need to bring one wrapped present. Again, it does not have to be fiber related. (You will have to attend to find out what this is, but I promise that it does not need to be fed...)

Special thanks to Hummingbird Hill Farms and Angora Jane's Fibers for this invitation!
