Wow, Labor Day weekend is coming up, kids are back in school and there is no relief from the constant summer heat. (Yet)  Everybody is ready for some cooler days to facilitate fall and winter inspirations.......... 

I am happy to add another Boutique to the list of my Ladies Fashion design customers, the Grove Park Inn Resort Boutique in Asheville now features many of my scarves, wraps and other neat items. I am in the process of creating hats and cowls for their fall display.

The middle of this month brings Heritage Weekend at the Folk Art Center, September 19 and 20 celebrates craft, music and story telling as well as the Whimmy Diddle Competition on Sunday. I will be demonstating inside the Folk Art Center, so come and enjoy this great annual festival. For more details go their  www.craftguild.org website.

The end of this month will take me back to Biltmore Estate on September 25 and 26. I love to demo at Antler Village and meet people from interesting places all around the world. This time it should be a bit cooler then my July visit, my thread doesn't flow very well if my hands are too warm.

Before you know it, it will be time for my October workshops The first one is on October 2nd. It is a "Heritage Crochet Treasures" workshop at UNCA Reuter Center in Asheville and you can register by calling 828-251-6140.

October 22 - 24 brings the 17th. Annual Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair back to the WNC AG Center by the Asheville Airport. They have a magnificent line-up of workshops for all kinds of fiber work, I have 4 workshops scheduled (check my workshop section on this site for details) and go directly to their site: www.saffsite.org for more details, the workshop schedule and to register.

Fall will be a busy time and I am looking forward to seeing many of you in those fun workshops. Remember, the holidays will be here before you know it!
