Sorry Folks to rub it in, but I will be in Mexico again for the next couple of weeks but will be home for The Gathering.....
I will be going with Jessica and Kate to visit my other daughter Emily who lives in Mexico. First we will spend 4 days in Mexico City visiting different sites and pyramids then fly to Chetumal to tour around and stay at Emily and Bencar's home there. They are starting up a custom tour business soon so check out their website!! www.ohpana.wordpress.com
We are honored to be their first guests!!!!
Poor Antrim will be left behind with the housesitter and cats.
Cheers

The Gathering

Be sure to come to The Gathering in Port Hope on Saturday April 18.... I'll be there with my many coloured rovings for sale.

New Challenge

Ok so you all know of my Winsome Women girlfriend group and our usual get togethers spinning, knitting, rug hooking etc. Well, Grace is always coming up with these new ideas to keep us EXTRA busy, as if we don't have enough to do in our busy lives.....LOL... She has once again challenged us to a project. Making a "Stash Bag" from wool in your stash. You knit the bag and then felt it in the washing machine. The pattern called to knit it in stripes but as you know I am a bit of a rebel and have chosen to make mine in a knitted honeycomb pattern from wool I had in my stash which was one day going to be woven into a rug. (I've had it for 8 years!!) So now it is going to be a felted bag.
Stayed tuned for the finshed project in a few weeks. Not sure if I will get it done before my trip to Mexico in April.

Sleepovers at Antrimlea

These 2 cuties have had sleepovers at Antrimlea for the past 3 weeks staying 3 nights a week while their "Daddy" had to go out of town for work. He did not want to put them in a kennel so contacted me. They are so cute and so well behaved they were allowed to come and stay with my Antrim and me. We had fun with Buddy and Charlie. Just look at those little eyes eh???

Ok all you fibre folks. You must come to "The Gathering", a blending of knitters and spinners.
The Great Pine Ridge Spinners and Weavers together with the Northumberland Hooks and Needles are hosting a fun day of knitting and spinning. Bring your knitting and spinning wheels and have a play day and bond with other fibre people. There will be 18 vendors selling rovings, yarns, fleece and many other things so bring lots of cash as not all vendors take credit cards. Entry is $6 and includes your door prize tickets. Coffee and snacks are provided and for those who do not want to pack a lunch Cindy will have fresh BBQ Lamb or Beef Burgers for sale made from meat from her farm.l
Last year we had about 130 people come so it is a very fun day.

It's on Saturday April 18 from 10 to 3:30
Town Park Recreation Centre
62 McCaul Street
Port Hope

Hope to see you there and be sure to drop by my booth to say hi and check out my hand dyed rovings for sale
.

COME AND BE PAMPERED....

Need to escape for a couple of days???? How does a relaxing weekend or a couple of weekdays in a quiet country home with all meals prepared for you sound?? I can sleep 5 in my home in a casual and shared accommodation atmosphere. 6 if you wouldn't mind being more cozy. We can be as busy as you want and offer interesting courses or just sit and relax and do nothing. My home is awsome for enjoying the beautiful sunrises, sunsets and night skies filled with millions of stars. Sometimes you can get to hear the owls and coyotes sing at night. My fee is $260.00 and includes 2 nights,6 meals and a relaxing pedicure. ( I have completed my courses and offer pedicures, ultra spa pedicures and manicures.) So you can sit and soak your feet while sipping on a wine and watching the birds at the feeders.
So gather some friends together with your spinning wheels , rug hooking, knitting, quilting or just a book and give me a call to arrange your stay. I do have a very behaved and friendly Collie dog and 2 cats for those with allergies beware. This is a fibre house so you will come in contact with pet hair and wool.
You are welcome to bring any alcohol or music to play. I also have a smoke free home but you may smoke outside on the screened porch. There are also 4 Golf courses near by if you need to break up your day.
One more thing.... only giggles , laughter and good times are allowed at Antrimlea...
I'll wait for your call. ....
cheers
