Fulla Fibah.
Anne and I had a grand time at the Massachusetts Sheep & Wool! It was really small, but it made it very manageable for an afternoon. We walked around, took our time and got to see everything!
I took a lot of pictures. Seriously.
This one's the Bune's favorite. He wants this guy on a t-shirt. (I heart Llamas)
And with their mama! See the resemblance?
Who says sheep aren't politically active? Look! They're holding a little rally!
(oh that's terrible. but I couldn't resist. I mean - look at those coats! If I ever have sheep, their coats will be all sorts of colors or animal print or something. No white hoods......)
Thes festival was a blast. I will never get over how amazing it is to watch tiny, little kids lead around huge animals! We met some really friendly folks and - as always - I learned a buinch from chatting with people and just watching others spin!
Here are some beautiful painted rocks we stopped to see on our way back from the festival.
These were painted by Keith Harmon Snow of www.allthingspass.com
. He was holding a tag sale to benefit his human rights work in
Africa. I urge all of you to go take alook at his site - he is taking
part in an incredible human rights effort in Congo. If anyone can
donate to this cause, I encourage you to do so. Iwas a bit short on
cash while I was there, but will be making a Paypal donation on his
site as soon as payday hits.
Here are some more pics I snapped while we were there. I could not have asked for a more amazing scene to shoot.
We made another stop on the way home where I met Buddy. Isn't he just the bee's knees??? He was a giant and a lovebug. Of course, he was so busy greeting people that I didn't get a very good picture of him... still not quick enough with the camera for those good action shots!
And of course, a gratuitous shot of my stash enhancement. Spin spin spin!
Here we see (from the left, clockwise) Yummy pink Bunny Blend (angora merino) from Acker's Acres, Some a purple and blue mohair nylon blend from Barneswallow Farms, a silk cap from A Touch of Twist, a fawn colored alpaca silk blend (also from Barneswallow), a red hank of Ingeo (It's made from corn, people!) from Abi's Web, and some merino tencel blend in "Grass" from The Sheep Shed.
I'll leave you with a picture of a very shady looking sheep. This guy's got something up his sleeve.... or ..mmm.. up his fleece.
