As if no fiber enthusiast knows what that means!
That is the one word that can describe my first Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. I was so excited and had a wad of money to just throw at merchants there and I did! And it was indeed, better than sex! Haha.
I was like a kid at a fair who had never seen one. My girlfriend Teresa had already been to the festival so knew what it was like. Our husbands so patient and didn't seem to complain about the constant trips to truck and station wagon to deposit our new found purchases. I just glowed in a smile for weeks after then when I really looked, I had bought enough material to spin for at least 10 years. But wow.. to go there again.... someday!
Hello! A blog about the SCA (now that I am finally getting serious about it) and fiber. I spin, knit, will be better at felting someday and so on. The new passion? Period costuming.

About this blog
I have a long list of hobbies. Posts on this blog will be of a wide range and mix. Pretty much my trials, tribulations and successes will be posted here as I mosey along the long and winding hobby road of life. I fade sometimes. I am trying to be better about that.
I spin. I own a Kromski Polonaise now. This is a big birthday year for me (2009) and so this year called for gifting myself with my dream spinning wheel. Vivat! Vivat! Vivat!
I knit. I am not a great knitter but I keep trying. My first sweater is still in progress. On Ravelry I am SecretSpindle. I dabble in felting as well.
I am in the SCA and my persona is a 1550's Ottoman Turkish woman. Her name is Safiye bint Kara Sun'Allah. I live in the Kingdom of Aethelmearc and the Barony of Thescorre. I am trying to become more involved. This year my daughter joined up with me and is very eager to learn fencing. She got a starter set at Pennsic 38 for her birthday. I love garb creation. She has chosen Italian Ren so that will bring me some costuming challenge. This past year I have worked on making my Turkish garb more accurate. Now time for the detail work. I want to learn the Scribal Arts as well.
Genealogy is a big part of my life. There is a separate blog for that.
Letterboxing. I love to do it but it got lost in the "OMG, I just don't have enough time for all of this!!" shuffle.

Hehe...
They're great aren't they?
The first time I went to a fiber fest I only spent $20 cause everything was SOOO expensive. Really it wasn't expensive, I just didn't realize what the stuff was really worth.
The next year... I spent more than enough and bought more than enough.
I just hear the *word* "wool" and money starts falling out of my pockets.
I blame the media.

Welcome back to the fiberlicious world! :)
