Good morning! The Christmas Holiday is past, and I am looking forward to our annual fire in our patio firepit to bring in the New Year!

I am thinking about what I want to accomplish this year and feel grateful for all my family and friends that are in my life at this moment. I have dyeing experiments, spinning and knitting and crochet projects in my mind, and lots of ideas for projects that will fill my year.

My dye closet and my outside freezer is filled with dye materials and so I plan another full year of dyeing to see what I can get from all the dyes in my possession. Let's see how many skeins that ends up.

On January 11, I will be representing Peachtree Handspinners guild, along with 4 other spinners, at the premier screening of Season 6 of "All Creatures Great and Small" at the Georgia Public Television Studios in Atlanta. This will be such a fun event, and along with Joanne Maki, president of the GA Sheep and Wool Growers Assn and Brett Banner, author of "American Sheep: A Cultural History", I will be on a panel for a Q & A after the screening.

Life continues here at the Vester household, and I hope you will join me on my journeys this year. Spin On, and I will chat soon.

I want to share with you some "Wool Story" trivia and history! Here is a file with some cool Facts about wool in honor of my 32 years of representing Wool and the sheep of Georgia at the Georgia National Fair in Perry, GA. As one of the Agriculture Stories at the Fair, I spend each day talking with the public about the history and the future of wool in our world.

Join me on an adventure in wool.
