Marilyn Smith

Marilyn Smith: A Life Woven in Fiber

Marilyn Smith’s journey into the world of fiber arts began at her mother’s knee, where tiny hands first grasped a needle and thread. By the age of five, she had sewn her first wearable garment—a humble beginning to what would become a lifelong passion. Through childhood, she explored various forms of fiber arts, but it was during a junior high field trip that another seed was planted. There, she watched, mesmerized, as a woman demonstrated spinning at her wheel, the rhythmic whir of the spindle etching itself into Marilyn’s memory.

Life wove its own patterns after high school. She married a third-generation sheep shearer, a man whose family had spent decades working with wool. With a playful challenge, he told her she had to “support the sheep and wool industry”—little did he know how seriously she would take those words. For their first wedding anniversary, he gifted her a spinning wheel, and with determination (and no small amount of frustration), she began teaching herself to spin.

Then came the turning point: a three-day intensive spinning class, a gift from her husband, Danny. Those days transformed her craft. The once-frustrating skill became second nature, the spindle an extension of her hands. From that moment on, spinning wasn’t just a hobby—it was a calling, her favorite thread in the vast tapestry of fiber arts.

Today, Marilyn Smith continues to spin her story from her home in Missouri, where wool, wheel, and wonder remain at the heart of her craft.

Happy Does – Goat Milk Soap

Discover the Art of Goat Milk Soap Making with Julia Lutz of “Happy Does” at Value Added Vendor Days

We are excited to announce that Julia Lutz, the creative mind behind Happy Does, will be joining us for the upcoming Value Added Vendor Days on May 31st! Julia will be hosting a live demonstration on the art of crafting goat milk soap, sharing her expertise and passion for this unique and rewarding craft. Whether you’re a seasoned soap maker or simply curious about the process, Julia’s demonstration promises to be both educational and inspiring.

But that’s not all! Julia will also be participating in the Meet & Greet on Thursday evening, May 29th, where attendees will have the opportunity to connect with her, learn more about her journey, and explore her beautifully crafted goat milk soaps.

A Journey from Kansas City to Goat Milk Soap Artistry

Julia’s story is as rich and fascinating as the soaps she creates. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Julia moved to Clear Lake, Iowa, at the age of three. She graduated from Clear Lake High School in 1984 and went on to earn a degree in Therapeutic Recreation from Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville. For 27 years, Julia dedicated her career to serving others, working for the Missouri Department of Mental Health in Kansas City before retiring in 2020.

Today, Julia lives on a picturesque acreage near Green Castle, Missouri, with her husband, Bill. Together, they tend to a small herd of Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats, which sparked Julia’s passion for goat milk soap making. Her daughter, a student at Truman State University, and their three dogs complete their lively household.
