Carmen Has Her Groove Back.....

I found me, I found me. I was under a pile of yarn scraps and felted sweater bits in the room that used to be my studio. I am in the process of reclaiming it. It will now be a knitting room. Hey, that's VERY different from a studio.....it implies leisurely knitting --at least to me anyway. And the treasures I found in sorting out the room. I will list them in order of importance....

• My MOJO - it's back --huge (there was dancing and yarn sorting)
• An entire wardrobe---okay, most of it doesn't fit anymore, but it's certainly inspirational and should fit in the next month or so.
  
• New designs --two just popped right out at me, half finished sketches, now fully completed.
• A functioning computer desk --consequently an office to do the evil paper work in a happy environment. GST filing due at the end of the month--crap.
• Memories - an old notebook of poetry I thought was lost forever.
• Approximately 50 unfinished kids hats in a bag left over from last year. Score one for Filberg inventory...Thank you, thank you craft goddess!!!
• Lots and lots of happy.

On an entirely different note. I have lost 15 pounds recently and my energy is at an all time high. Am I ready for the all night knitting sessions again? Not quite. I am thoroughly enjoying the new level of energy and the resulting creations.

There's nothing better than the inspiration that comes from a simple hand spun wool. It is completely unique each time it is knit and the quirks and lumps make each finished piece absolutely charming. Free form patterning is not a contradiction.

I also received a huge yarn order with one more on the way. Blank canvases for my attention. Yippee....Also on the way, newly designed hang tags for the entire inventory. They all match the mysterious new booth sign I haven't posted a photo of yet. Branding finally coming together.

****For those who have been asking, I will be uploading the class schedule to start in August in the next week or two. I have to get through the next few markets and Filberg before I can focus on the classes. I am looking forward to the teaching and remember the classes will all be taking place in the studio, not in my home.
