Update postponed!
I know, I know...I'm sorry. For anyone waiting for an update, I'm moving my update evening to Monday nights, at least for a while. I'm teaching classes on Sunday nights so it's been a bit difficult.
I've got a a pretty good update for Monday so come on back if you're in the market!
I've also got news! Big family news! I've gotta reveal to a few people in person before I post it here, but soon!

I feel like...a...winner!
Yep! Not only did I win first place at Maryland Sheep and Wool, but I also won second place! Yep, they like me, they really like me! I'm so aglow with glee (really, look at the fine sheen of glee on me in that picture!). There's something so validating about, well, the validation. heh. I was very nervous about entering, thought they'd laugh me out of the contest, me with all my oddities. There's always a nagging doubt that computer props are so easy and free and not at the top of the genuine train, you know? In the art yarn world there's a lack of honest critique, people feel odd, i think, critiquing what so many consider art, an expression of an idea, feeling, etc. However, if you look at the history of art (and clearly I'm no expert but I read Jodi's regularly and that makes me feel like an expert), critique is always right there, pushing it along, making it better, making people strive etc. Blah blah blah, more on this later, what I really wanna gush about is my one, two, count 'em ribbons! Yeehaww!
more about the weekend later (and when I post about the weekend, you can be sure the ribbon pictures will be posted a second time, hee).
oh, and there will be an update tonight, blue ribbon vitreous humor and all!
