Every day is a new day for a middle aged woman in the spectrum of the WWW. I'm amazed at all there is to offer - free flickr, free etsy, free ravelry, free aol...it sure makes it easy to start a business and to stay in touch with people from all over the world.
Like take my amazing friend Shawn http://islandsweet.blogspot.com/. She lives in Newfoundland. We met on Etsy when she we decided to trade fibers with each other. Now, it turns out that we read the same books and have similar life experiences. Her grandchild is due on the date of my Mother's birthday. Shawn nurtures me as a new fiber artist and I am grateful. I wish I had as much to give back to her. Then there is the wonderful Jen from Hanks in the Hood. She has really given me so much of her time, energy, and expertise. I don't know what I would have done without it!http://www.hanksinthehood.blogspot.com/ Then, I try to pass on everything that I am learning to the newbies whom I encounter. The circular nature of fiber is astounding. Fiber artists are a peaceful bunch with generous hearts. I hope that I will continue to learn from these amazing folks.
When I began this post it was to add the image of the ad that I am trying to place on Ravelry, which is located at the top of this post. Because I am the kind of person who just wants the computer to work..I don't need or want to know how to make it work..it takes me a long time to accomplish these tasks. I'm very happy, though, with the ad that I created, and I hope it gets approved. It was fun to make.
Next Saturday is Alabama's 4th Annual Goat and Sheep festival. I've got to get to work for that event. More on that next time.
