Just wondered if we would be hearing anything about the Natural and the Suprise challenge contests coming in May.

If the rules come up soon it would help to work out whether I would have time to get involved. and to do whatever prep needs doing before we jump right in.
or at least I need a few days to let my brain loose on getting ideas!
thanks!

Hi Sandy,

The rules and discussion for the Natural Contest should be up in the next day or so. It will be pretty simple with the premise of using only natural fibers. We don't want to give too much notice for the challenge- that's what makes it challenging! Suffice it to say you will likely have everything you need at home!

It is 16 hours until May 1st. I won't be up at midnight to see the contest begin, but there are other parts of the world that will be ready to go. When you say you don't want any lead in time, I guess you meant that literally.
