Erica Bruner - 2008 PiPN Intern

Hey Everyone!
This is Erica Bruner interning at Tanglewood Fiber Creations in Oregon, with Trish Andersen. Trish and I are currently in Eugine, OR for the event called Blacksheep Gathering.

Tonight I got to help with the judging of the fashion show. Trust me, It’s not a fashion show until you include sheep! It was a lot of fun to see what everyone had made from the sheep they owned.

I have learned many things about the world of fiber so far and am looking forward to learning more. We haven’t done too much quite yet because I arrived on Tues. and Wed. was declared restful Wed. so I can adjust to the time change considering I had finally arrived at 4:30am Ohio time (1:30am in Oregon).

I’m very excited to make a new red colorway for Trish and to help her further her “business”. So that is what is going on so far and trust me it only seems to get more interesting from here. I hope all the other interns are having as good as a time!!
Until Later,
Erica Bruner
