Fibre Week Celebration

Well it's official!  I received my enrollment confirmation, I'm registered for this years' Fibre Week at Olds College in Alberta.  I am SO excited.  This is their 100 year celebration and the Hand Weavers, Spinners & Dyers of Alberta will be holding their annual conference at the same time.  Jeremy and I booked our hotel room in December and got the last room just to show how big of an event it will be!  I will be taking a Hand Spindles workshop which I really wanted to take last year (from Stephanie Gaustad) but it was sadly cancelled.  I have also volunteered again to help out with the fleece auction so you will definitely see me in the marketplace if not all over their beautiful grounds.  I will also be visiting the horses and barns :)  I am also excited because one of my favourite dyers will be one of the vendors this year; The Wacky Windmill.  I already know I won't have enough money :P  If you are at all interested in fibre I can't recommend Fibre Week enough.  The campus is not only gorgeous, it is so refreshing being surrounded by like-minded people with varying degrees of expertise.  I am also very happy from my good friend Deb Behm who will be teaching one of the Master Spinners levels this year!  Last year I took a sock design class and the two levels of the Wool Judging course.  There are so many classes I am interested in this year, check it out! The countdown begins.
