The TURTLEs are counting the days … “we” will be going to Loveland, Colorado, to be part of Handwoven’s inaugural Weave Together retreat later this month. Preparations are in full gear …
There will be a TURTLE booth at the Marketplace. I’m so glad that Deborah Bagley agreed to be my partner and help with keeping the TURTLEs in check! I will also be teaching two classes at the event … it will be busy …
I’m sharing this with you here on the blog for two reasons …

If you are anywhere near Loveland, CO, on February 25th, we’d love to see you!
On Sunday, from 4–6 pm, fiber artists are invited to enjoy free access to shopping in the marketplace at the Embassy Suites in Loveland, Colorado. Sponsor Yarn Barn of Kansas (oh, the yarns!!! See examples in the picture above) and the TURTLEs will be there. Yes, you will have pre-launch access to the new TinyTURTLE XF-extra fine sett and the “All American” Original TURTLE Looms (in R, F, and XF) that will become available to all in March. Deborah and I would love you stop by and weave a little bit!

Planning vacation mode for the Bluebonnet Crafters online store
While we’re traveling, the Bluebonnet Crafters online store will be on vacation mode (February 21st to March 2nd, 2024). There won’t be any listings visible on Etsy during that time, but you can always see all our looms on the Loom Catalog page. I will be checking messages as time allows. I hope that you will find this “early warning” useful with your order planning.
The Weave Together retreat is sold out, but if you’d like to see what it is all about or get on the waitlist, please visit the Weave Together website.

So jealous! Maybe next year🙏
I totally get it … I told my husband that if I wouldn’t be there for “work”, I’d love to be there as an attendee … maybe one year we can go together!
