Well, check another step off the ‘how to achieve your dream year abroad’ list! We have gone to our appointment with the Homeland Security office and had our biometrics recorded. It is a matter of electronically obtaining your fingerprints and a reading of the iris of your eye. Now we wait for about ten days for the official results to come to us and add it to our UK visa application packet.

Once we have quadruple checked to make sure we have ALL the necessary papers required we bundle them all up, including our passports, and mail it off to New York. You mess up one thing and they will say, “Sorry, you are denied”. How scary is that? Then we wait…

While in waiting mode I have made great plans to learn about all things wooly in Scotland. I want to know how to card, and drop spindle spin, and spinning wheel spin and and finally overcome my inexplicable terror of knitting socks and sweaters. Researching online I am finding out how instrumental the UK has been, and still is, in keeping the heritage breeds of sheep viable. The resilient wool of the Swaledale,

the crisp, white, lustrous wool produced by the Cheviot Sheep-with their cute faces,

and the long, lustrous and curly fleece of the ‘mops on legs’ Wensleydales,

make this budding felted wool artist long to play with wool. Time to dye!

Not that I ever need an excuse to dye! I go through long stretches of life with rainbow colored hands, stained fingernails and tie-dyed feet and toes. Yes, I do know I ought to wear gloves – but it just isn’t the same! I usually dye in the warm summer months, which explains the feet. But this winter, I just had to try the immensely popular snow dyeing.

I am nearly hyperventilating over the prospect of my Gilda Baron felted wool backgrounds workshop. This has empowered me to dye wool, and LOTS of it!

So, while we await the powers that be to decide the fate of our UK year, I research, I dye, I continue to dream.

Give-Away

Question for April – I have found the placing of my beloved pets into new homes the most emotionally wrenching part of the dream-achieving path. What would be the hardest person/place/thing for you to part with?

Share your response in the comments below. I’ll be giving away an eclectic little assortment of deliciously dyed wool. Winner will be randomly selected next Tuesday, April 17, 2012.

For Swap Participants:

This week’s quilt contest is Springtime Renewal… swap participants are welcome to enter the quilt they made and sent to their partner if they like. Deadline is Thursday at midnight. Enter here!

By now, your mini quilts should all be in the mail or already received. If you haven’t sent yours yet, PLEASE email me AND your partner to let us know the status and when you plan to ship. We all understand life gets in the way, communication keeps the swap a positive experience for all.

If you’ve sent your mini quilt, and haven’t emailed me yet, please do so with your full name and partner’s name and date sent if it was a while ago. If you’ve received your mini quilt please also email me AND the person that sent to you to let us know it arrived safely.

I’m starting to get a lot of emails asking if quilts have arrived and that quilts haven’t arrived yet. These take a huge amount of time for me to investigate. So here’s what I’d like to suggest:

If you’ve sent a quilt and it should have arrived by now, email your partner yourself. Her email was included in your partner info message. CC me if you like.

If you haven’t received a mini quilt yet and haven’t heard from the person sending to you, give it time to arrive. If you still don’t have it by next Tuesday, April 3rd, email me and I’ll start investigating then.

Upload your photos: to our Flickr group so that everyone can see what you’ve sent/received.

Our Next Swap:

Registration for your next swap will start mid April. This swap was originally going to be a project created by a designer, but due to life getting in the way, that isn’t going to happen.

What I’d like to do instead, and has been requested numerous times, is an Artist Trading Cards/Postcard swap. These are mini 2.5"x3.5" pieces of art. The size is exact, but you can let your creativity soar in whatever direction it takes you. If you’re unfamiliar with ATCs, see the bottom of this post, which includes a link to a tutorial and links to other resources too.

My thought is that for the next swap we will create FOUR ATCs to send to your partner. They can coordinate or be totally different. You’ll send all four to the same person.

What do you think? Is four too many? Would you rather just send two? You’ll have ~6-8 weeks to create and send. Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below, or on the Flickr discussion post or just drop me an email.
