Thanks so much, Natalie! I have to admit there were some surprises in there!! I know I’m speaking for everyone when I say thanks for the wonderful fiber you make available, the informative and interesting radio programs, and all of the hard work you put forth. Readers, also, mark your calendars for Labor Day, 2013 because Natalie is hosting “Flock to Frock Learnfest” at Namaste Farms — Personally, I can’t wait!!
Having Natalie on this week is not the only special treat…because it’s a birthday, we have to have some kind of a present. A lot of you know that the Secret Stash Game is limited to only twenty people at a time right now so it sells out very quickly. The next round starting will be in about a month and as it stands today, there is only one spot left. So, the Happy Birthday Giveaway is the last spot in this upcoming round. To enter, please leave a comment below before this coming Sunday night, 4/8, at 5:00 PM. Additional entries for sharing on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Just leave a comment letting me know that you did. For your comment, you get to play the free association game, too — your word is: Fuzz…

Fuzz: cops
Fuzz- as in Fuzzy Wool Dust Bunny..it’s everywhere!! I can’t help it,ever since that dust bunny pic appeared on Face book with rabbit ears,….I put a face on each dust bunny that appears in the workshop. Longest word association, ever!
What I am covered in everyday after spinning!
in a octupus garden under the shade………….words from a beatles song
covered in it!(black shirt,white fiber)
The first think that comes to mind is:
fuzzy lamb kisses
Fuzz – head
Fuzz – mine! (channeling my inner 3 year old. It’s what she tends to say about all fibery stuff.)
So, yeah. I finally figured out my association with the appointed word:
Fuzz-Tongue. Because that’s usually what happens to me when I spin, I end up spitting out fiber as I go. I should probably stop talking and spinning.
Fuzz…. ZEE (my angora goat’s name)
Fuzzbuster–my Swiffer in the studio. Oh, mighty number generator, please pick me!!
