In March 2011 I went through some major life adjustments. I wasn't really sure what it all meant but some situations you simply do not have control over. So... I decided to take my mothers advice and join her on a weekend "Spinning Camp" retreat. The camp was held at Lake Francis CA. Very close to the the Auburn area. The wonderful members of
Foothill Fibers
Guild, at http://foothillfibersguild.org/ sponsered this affair and what a lovely bunch of ladies.
We all had so much fun, learning how to spin on a drop spindle and use a spinning wheel. Everybody made my family feel so welcomed. I never imagined the impact this occasion would have on me. Simply put, it took the fork out of my road and I chose a path. It's truly amazing what can happen in your life when you step out of your comfort zone (mine was work) and explore other avenues.
