really? Really!

Yep, that is my name up there. I do not know what I was thinking.  Actually, that’s not quite true. It seems that I am on a personal overcoming fear mission that is certainly going to make this a very interesting year—if it does not kill me!

Melissa asked me if I would tell a story at this lovely event. Instead of my knee jerk reaction of holy crap, are you kidding me, absolutely not.  Oh, but thank you so very much for thinking of me.

I told her I needed to think on it.  A week or so later, she breezed through Oregon Flock and Fiber and asked again, and I just told her yes, like it was nothing at all, and I did this kind of thing every single day.

I have been informed that, in fact, I do this all the time and, you know, maybe I do. However, I do think there is a wee bit of a difference between 10 or so people and 200 of them.

I think I will just pretend there are 10–that works. 

I love the Back Fence concept and think that Melissa and Frayn have done us all quite a service in community building. There are not may places where you can get such a varied outlook on one topic in a intimate atmosphere.

We all have 8 minutes to tell a story on the theme of obsession. The official title is Just Can’t Get Enough: Getting stuffed and being stuffed.  Obsession, something I think we can all relate to in one way or another.

Maybe even in a knitterly way, eh?  If you want to come, here is the link, and they recommend getting tickets now because it is filling up fast.  wwwbackfencepdx.com.

And here I thought renting the Oregon Convention Center was scary—Ha!
