Laura<\/a> asked for a SOAR update, though she’s a long way away and not attending herself. I got off the waiting list last week, but the only reason I knew was that I contacted them. As a further sign of extreme disorganization on their part, SOAR is being held at a resort hotel that isn’t large enough to hold all the attendees. I could stay there Thursday night, and Saturday night, but not Friday night. That day I could commute from some other regional motel, and purchase the quite expensive meal plan. <\/p>\n

No thanks. <\/p>\n

I do hope the organizers learn from this experience, and do things differently in the future. Spinning is currently wildly popular, and no longer with just the older, wealthier crowd that had had a monopoly on fiber arts for so long.<\/p>\n

SOAR is so close, though, that I am going for a day for the shopping and to meet people<\/a> I know<\/a> online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For them, and anyone else who wants to say hi, I’ll be wearing my new shirt. <\/p>\n

\"Stringpage<\/p>\n

I spent yesterday evening designing shirts, and part of the afternoon making them up. Not only do I have a new stringpage shirt for SOAR, I have a new “Winter in AEthelmearc” shirt.<\/p>\n

\"AEthelmearc<\/p>\n

And a Halloween shirt as well.<\/p>\n

\"Halloween<\/p>\n

(No, actually I couldn’t<\/i> wait for Nick to get home, and did take that photo in the hall mirror.)<\/p>\n

I will be doing some of these to sell, but I need to get a heat press first. You can set them with an iron, but it’s difficult to get it right. Just got to think of some more SCA and fiber arts designs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
