This adorable 3 year old, Peyton, is the grand daughter of my good friend and fellow fiber artist, Lorie Honey McCombie. Peyton and her family have a long medical road in front of them that is sure to be the most stressful, emotionally difficult thing they have ever faced. Please read about Peyton using the link below, pray they find a donor quickly, donate if you can, and please share the link to help. Thank you! http://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/ykq4/peytons-chemo-fund

Awesome weekend at SAFF. It was cold but the fiber seekers came out in droves on Friday. They hit our booth hard this weekend. I sold out of tri looms and took orders the rest of the weekend. I'll be busy making those orders in the next couple weeks. I have very little yarn left and orders to fill. I get to spin the yarn and design a shawl named "Florida Sunset" for a very special repeat customer. I'm grateful for the wonderful customers and looking forward to going back next year.

Four 6' tall (3 wide x 2' deep) shelving units are up. I need at least 4 more shelving units because I still can't see the floor and I haven't even put THIS YEARS fleece in here yet!

My shawlette was voted Readers Choice!!! There's a funny story about this shawl and I swear I think this fiber knew it was destined for greatness. When the Secret Stash package arrived I knew the minute I opened it what I was making. The force was strong in this batch of fiber! It didnt just speak to me, it yelled from the rooftops. I finished in two days. One to spin all the yarns, wash to set the twist, and dry. Day two was spent weaving and taking pics. I took this shawlette with me to SouthEastern Animal Fiber Fair to be displayed in my booth as example of 3' triangle loom creations. The news station always does wonderful segments from the show and they are taped in the wee hours of the morning prior to the vendors starting the day. I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the news anchor holding MY shawlette during the segment! This shawlette sold that day to a lovely lady who lives in Florida. :) To see all creations and the identity of the artists check out http://www.spinartiste.com/saturday-excitement-secret-stash-round-4-identities-readers-choice-november-love-and-small-business-saturday-announcement

This is a power-packed post filled with so much good stuff — I’m sorry to hit you with so much, but I have so much great content in the pipeline that I have to get all of this out to

Take the time to see the incredible items created when 20+ fiber artists are given the same fiber ingredients to use in creating something uniquely their own. Comment at the bottom to vote for your favorite but fair warning... its a difficult choice!!!

Publisher’s Notes: It is hard to believe but here I am about to unveil the projects for the last Secret Stash of 2012. Once again, I am completely amazed at the wide range of creativity demonstrated by the artists.

For those that asked... 3' triangle looms are ready! I've got 3 ready to ship tomorrow morning and 3 more ready to ship Wed. I used locally grown oak milled down the street from me so it doesn't get much more "locally grown" or "handcrafted" than this. :) Cost is $85 and shipping is $15.
