The tapestry loom is situated and was already warped when I bought it. I think I'll let my granddaughters do some weaving on it until I am done working on the towels on my other loom. I just have to get to my wool yarn stash in the back of a closet! I've had one of my granddaughters staying for the summer in that bedroom, and had to push all my stuff to the back to make room.
Two of my other granddaughters are coming over today and we'll try to dye some yarn. Again, first I have to get to my dyes, and then get the big campstove out of the garage, which is currently storing some of my son's furniture, I don't know if it's doable or not!
I was reading an article in our local newspaper the other day about a yarn bombed tree in DeKalb, and found out there is a fiber arts collective that meets once a week at our local Barnes and Noble store. They are mostly knitters and crocheters, with a few spinners. I found the group on Ravelry and joined, and realized that there is a fiber arts festival down in Franklin Grove this weekend. It's less than an hour from here and if the girls aren't busy, we'll all head out to the fiber festival.
I get so caught up in the day to day grind, that I lose track of all of the wonderful events that are out there, and opportunities to meet other fiber artists.
