New fiber shop, mainly

AFTER that last post in October, I just didn't think about this blog at all, what with the holidays, the winter doldrums, and a new venture. So I figured I'd better catch up a little. THE founder of our Limestone Creek Fiber Guild has been wanting to start a little shop where members could sell their various handwork. She had talked to the owner of Yarntiques, a yarn/knitting shop about an hour away from me, about using the second floor of her place. She wasn't able to do it until last fall, so Limestone Creek Fiber Works had its grand opening on December 1st. There was an article about us in the Sunday, December 16th issue of the Johnson City Press. I have yarn, two triangle shawls and some needle felted figures for sale, plus I'll be giving spinning lessons. The last session of the first class will finish up this Saturday, and another one will start on March 2nd. There will also be classes on triangle loom weaving, basket making, possibly needle and/or wet felting, and whatever else we can come up with that one of us wants to try teaching. JUST checked the preview. The paragraph spacing is STILL not working. So I will start every paragraph with all caps. THE DS and BIL's house is done except for the shower door in the master bath and possession of the garage door opener. The contractor's son, who is 30-something and should know better by now, was a pretty crummy foreman. He never took notes, didn't always pass information on to the workers about corrections, let the guys get away with murder, and if he said "We'll make it right." one more time, DH was going to slug him. I was thinking of telling him that when Mike Holmes (Holmes on Homes on DIY or one of those channels) says he'll make it right, he does! But at least DS and BIL were able to start moving in some of their things that they've brought down already. There won't be a whole lot at first, since this will be a vacation home for a few years.
