Concert in the Barn-September 30
Sign up before Sept. 16 for Prize Drawing!
Kyle Vincent is a talented song-writer and a skilled entertainer. Kyle performs all over the U.S. and in Japan and, being my cousin, consented to try out the Barn Venue last year. We had so much fun that he will do it again! Kyle's music was described by one of my friends as eco-folk-romantic-pop. Listen to the song here and at the link on my website and come to your own conclusion. Maybe the donkey will join the sheep in singing background vocals.
Sign up before September 16 to have your name in a drawing to win a prize-three winners will be drawn! Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for kids 5-19 (under 5 free). Reserve your space by clicking this link.

Weaving With Chenille
Three tips for weaving
Soft, luxurious chenille scarves. Everyone loves them, but many weavers are afraid to tackle them. My top 4 tips:
- Buy high quality chenille yarn.
- Keep yarns in control while warping.
- Dress loom back-to-front.
- Use a close sett and beat firmly.
If you want to tackle your first chenille scarf with support you might want to take a 2-day Chenille Scarf Class. I don't have a date planned for this. E-mail me to get on the contact list and we'll schedule a date.
Don't want to weave a scarf? You can see my scarves and other handwovens at The Artery in Davis.
