dig it







new for my fiber friends...check it out at http://wearmoa.com/catalogue.php?view=7






level 3

Hi Friends!
The Cincinnati shop is closed today due to a winter blizzard. I think the power at the shop as gone out, but I'm not 100% sure because my Ford Escape has 2 inches of ice and I can't go anywhere. Beyond that, we're on the verge of a level 3 snow emergency! Turns out Old Man Winter has a bone to pick this year. That bastard. :)

But the good news is later today I will have MORE fiber updates for you to see at www.wearmoa.com under "handspun".
I've been dying up a storm (haha) and have all kinds of pretty colors to mesmerize you.

So, stay tuned, and chant that the power stays on!
Love,
JoAnne Gerwe

ha-choo!

every winter i boast, "i don't get sick!". well. guess what.
i have been sick for freaking 3 weeks!
but i've turned a corner, and today was able to open my shop. (that's right, haven't even been able to work, this is how bad it was).

soooo....
next week i will have updates on the website and spiff up the place, it's what the doctor ordered!
my fiber junkies can look for new fibers; all kinds of batts and hand dyed Suri Alpaca, plus more.
there is a slew of new baby hats
and a couple of new cowls, plus a new sweater in the works.

sorry to be so MIA, it's not because i wanted to be. (work is like crack to me. pajamas and blankets are cool for about half a day. beyond that...cripes!)

ciao for now...and take your vitamins!
much love,
joanne
