So let me just start by saying at High Noon today, thanks to Random.org, Ms. Karen won the candle. Before Noon I was in the hay fields. After noon I was still in the hay fields but with a full belly. Being in the hay fields doesn't stop the fiber thoughts around here though. Mom was on a two day sewing marathon to finish some notions bags that I wanted made for Kellyville. They look great and Mom made one extra that I hadn't counted on. It is her prototype she calls it and we might look into making them a bit more detailed.
Since Mom was working so hard I let my mind do some work while I hauled in the hay. I came up with what I think is a good Idea. I want to do my first club. I want to put together a western or leather, knitting and Crochet accessories with Lace weight all natural yarns. Then every other month those that joined would get a natural, soft, different blend or different natural color yarn and a western/leather surprize. There are three blends and so some months you might get a repeat blend but it would be in a different natural color. And the surprizes would never be the same.
The problem is that when you put a new idea out on the social media to get feedback there is always someone who wants to make things dirty. I want to call the club Leather and Lace. I think it fits and I really like it. To bad that people started right in about how I shouldn't be allowed to do a club called that and then all the remarks started. No one heard the idea just thought the name was something it wasn't. Why does everything in the world seem to have to be something dirty?
I know people think that I just sit here and make stuff up and don't think about it. First off, I did think about it and I did my research. Do you know that I couldn't find not one western or leather fiber club online anywhere? So I think that is a market I should look into. At least it fits my personality. So I wanted to see who I could market it to. Did you know there are groups of Men on Ravelry? I wonder if any of the 608 men that crochet in the crochet group might be interested. Or what about The Oklahoma men's Group. They might like western themes. Or what about the 832 members of Smack? And did I mention that there is even a group called Dudelace? I do think there is a market for this club. So why can't it be called leather and lace? And why does everything have to be dirty? What ever happened to good clean fun?
Okay, I am done whining now ... I will figure it out and it will be awsome. On the upside tonight I went and got my 4 roping steers. Okay, only one is a steer and the other three are heifers but they are for steer roping so I am calling them all steers. And Just an FYI tonight by the light of the moon, and his headlights, the neighbor will finish the rest of our hay. Then all we have to do is haul in the last of the squares and move the rounds down to the house and haying season will be officially over ... YES!!!!!
