Shameless Plug For A Great Book!

Thanks, to my fellow Norsefolk_2 group member,Nancy Marie Brown, and her publishers, I received a prepub copy of her new book "The Far Traveler: Voyages of a Viking Woman". I literaly could not put it down. This was such an wonderful book about the Icelandic sagas and in particular, Gudrid who was a viking who traveled to Canada, had a son there,then came back to Icleand and then eventually to Rome.

My package from Heidi

This is what Heidi sent me,minus the chocolate and an adorable picture of her puppy.

Back online!

After getting a virus and being canceld by my old ISP, I am back.
I got my Fiber Frenzy swap package from Heidi in Norway and I just love all the goodies she sent. THe chocolate was yummy! There were many different fibers and some handmade bead stitch markers. I will post a picture soon, but haven't had time , cause I've been working a lot.

Things going on

Our new library is well underway! It's so nice to be able actually see progress for a change. We have had many setbacks and it seemed that it would never get built.

I joined Weekend Whirls the other day, but haven't had time to post yet. The Fiber Frenzy swap is funand I'm about ready to mail my package. I think I'm reciveing one from Norway, but not sure. I can't wait to see what I get.

Fiber Frenzy Swap

I just receive the info for my swap pal. Hi Melanie! I love doing fiber swaps and always get the neatest stuff. It's just like birthdays and Christmas all rolled into one.

Fibers I've been spinning

I've been spinning some wool that I got in a grap bag from Earthguild.(NAYY)
I also want to spin up some Wensleydale(I think) that also came in the same bag.

On an unfibery topic, I work at our local library and we are starting to build our new one!. This has been an ongoing project for many years. At least, trying to find property, raising the money, etc. has been, but now it's finally happening. We will have more than twice the room, which is wonderful.
