Unashamed plug for Sian's Etsy

She didn't ask me to do it cos she wouldn't push, but here's Sian's New Etsy store
"Spin a song of sixpence"
It's full of lovelinesses. Be proud of her, she's one of ours!

Gellionen Chapel

Gill J rang Nell t'other night to say that we had been asked to support the Gellionen Chapel fund raising day. Local church recently vandalised just up the hillside from the Cross. This would be informal spinning not demonstration, as Guild main banner and gazebo etc will be at Crag-y-nos. Church picnic 13.00 - 18.00 on Saturday 10th May.

Further information can be obtained at Gellionen@hotmail.com
Not sure about car access but parking an issue! If interested then do go and have a lovely day!

That comment you need to make!

Well hopefully now you can!
At least I think you can, I do really!
I really think this last rewrite has fixed it!

Go on you know you want to, it will be moderated at first, so play nice y'all.

Oh and my Mum had some interesting links so look on our Useful links Page for a new list of sites to visit.

love from a slightly blogger exasperated, Debb.

Thinking of you!

Eirian and Dell, sorry to hear that you both have Mum's who are very poorly at the moment. Although you may not make it to Guild, we're still thinking about you and send our best wishes to keep you going. Love the Tawe Guild.

Wonderwool Wales!

If you did Wonderwool Wales, you were probably boggled by the amount of woolly wonderfulness like I was.

If you didn't make it here's a taste!










Thanks to Nell for being named driver and all those who made it what it was last weekend, and well what did I come home with, well a chocolate teapot of course, for the long suffering Douglas, and I'm not listing the rest in public as I already have S.B.L.E (stash beyond life expectancy)!!

Silk Workshop.

Thank you Liz for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm, and thanks too to Clare B. and her trusty laptop for her lunchtime talk on Shibori.

I had a great time, the work produced by everyone was brilliant and I learned loads, I have squillions of pictures to share but my ************ card reader has gone sick. I will get the pictures up ASAP. Promise,Debb
Yes we have pictures.
This little chap is the silk moth brought in by Clare B.
It is the larvae of these little moths that spin our silk cocoons.

These are just some of Clare's
wild silk cocoons.






And with a few items such as these lovely Kemtex dyes

With not a little help and encouragement from our Liz
