SO we've been remiss in the blog posting this week. After the celebration of the birth of of nation we've been getting revved up for this weekend's open studio extravaganza! Natalie, our event planner and personal assistant extraordinaire, has flown in especially from Charleston, South Carolina to lend her expertise and non ADD frazzled mind. Natalie actually has ADD, but somehow manages to lead a normal life, full of deadlines, checklists, goals, etc, unlike Cara and myself. We NEED someone of Natalie's caliber. You would be AMAZED what the three of us have accomplished today with her help! But we'll save those treats for Saturday night.
In the meantime, check out this action video of Cara in the process of making some fantastic wares to sell at the
Sustainable Nantucket Farmers Market. If you're on island, it's really a great place to go every Saturday morning to meet and support local craft artists and also gardeners. AND!!! GIVEAWAY ALERT!!!
If you can guess approximately how many times Cara throws her shuttle (that wooden object she tosses back and forth), while making
one alpaca scarf, you'll win one!

The person with the closest guess wins.
GOOD LUCK!
YES. Weaving IS aerobically effective.
