Wow! What a day!!! It was cold and windy, but also warm and friendly. A perfect day at the ! This is the only booth picture I managed near the end of the day. Thank you to all the intrepid volunteers who kept our tents on the ground, checked in regularly, and especially to and for all their fabulous organization and support!!

AND…. I checked my Nest cam on the drive home and my little house wren (we are calling her Wanda) is finally building her nest!!! 🪺 so exciting to watch her progress.

We had a wonderful first-timer experience at the show on Sunday. The crowd was happy and enthusiastic, volunteers made the trip up in the old elevator a piece of cake and we sold a lot of bird inspired yarn! As I always do, a donation from sales (not just from Sunday) has been made to Birds Canada to help with bird conservation and education.
Thank you to all the organizers, volunteers and super yarn lovelies who made the day a great success!! 😘😘😘
We’re headed next to the Peterborough Fibre Arts Festival on April 12th at the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre. It’s a great venue and a lovely array of artists. .canada
