East Kentucky Fibers

Well, I suppose I have a wee bit of catching up to do. I made an attempt at it a couple months ago, but the internet where I live is absolutely terrible and I got too frustrated. The last post I wrote was about the farm plans, which depresses me to look at because I [...]

I just can’t believe I haven’t written. There’s so much to say now!

I’ve been meeting with David Barber from the Small Business Administration and working on a very in depth business plan. I finished my plan relatively quickly, I worked 12 hours on it one saturday, it got a little crazy in Fields Hall for [...]

I’ve been putting blogging off for quite a while, so I’m trying to get something down here so I’m not plagued by guilt.

A lot has happened since I last wrote. I’m now the proud mother of 3 kentucky mountain horses. First I bought two chocolate fillies that I couldn’t resist, they’re half sisters and [...]

I’ve wanted to blog so many times, but blogging can only be my reward for keeping up with my written journal, which I haven’t been doing. I just finished today writing about the Clifftop music festival last weekend, or was it the weekend before?
The 2nd Morehead Fiddlers Convention went really well. I had a [...]

Dale took me to the Red River Gorge last weekend. It was fun except that he made me climb at this awful place called Cloud Splitter. First it was easy, I just had to get in this skinny crack between two big rock faces, much like Fat Man’s Squeeze, but then it got insane. There [...]

I’ve currently been struggling through spandex hell, I had a breakthough with the nylon thread though. I’ve been trying to make a swimming suit and it’s rough. The plan is to make a tank top kind of top and shorts for the bottom, I have the bottoms made and they kind of fit, but they’re [...]

This weekend I went to the fiddler’s convention in Mt. Airy, it was a blast. I met lots of new people, including George Gibson, who I’ve been wanting to meet for a while. Brett Ratliff and I rode up together from Whitesburg and set up our camps near Matt Kinman and Jeremiah Jack Campbell’s. There [...]

I had a fun weekend, I’ve been too lazy about blogging though. My dearest friend Elizabeth came home and I got to see her. She also wanted some new pictures of her and the perfect opportunity arose at the farm. Let’s all be jealous of her for being so cute! I’ll start. [...]

Well, I’m home for the summer now. It’s exciting. The move out was stressful, I had way too much stuff, many bags of wool, all my equipment, and junk I don’t need. I’m going to try to pack lighter next semester. I say that every time. I’ll try really hard though. I’ve been trying to [...]

Well, I haven’t written for a while. I haven’t gotten much done either, so it doesn’t make much of a difference. My little strawberries are growing so sweetly.

I’ve been trying to work on the Child’s First Sock, but I’m being too lazy and messing up the shell pattern every time. I just need to [...]
