July flew by in a blur of Tour de Fleece spinning, and August brought my very first in-person market at Clear Creek Farm's Fiber Fair. It was a whirlwind of prep, a few hiccups, and some lessons learned on events and planning. Now I'm getting ready for September and a Artisan and Community Market.

Every July, while cyclists take on the Tour de France, spinners around the world set their own challenges. It is a time for setting personal goals, sharing challenges and achievements with community, and having an excuse to spin as much as I want, in 21 days. That’s Tour de Fleece, and every July it’s the only excuse I need to spin.
