So Much to Say, So Much to Say.....

Well... Day one of full-time Mommy week in progress. My wonderful provider has a week of vacation... and I am on duty. I have plans.... and I am not above using bribes to make this week go smoothly!

This weekend was nice..... Saturday was a full day of work but was kicked off by a breakfast meeting with Lolly and Colleen! How nice was that! Really gave me some get up to put in my get up and go... if you know what I mean.

And.... my little brother popped up from out of state to take his big sis out for a drink ( or three... or more...) My brother... my baby brother... is 21!! It was a little surreal, but great! The cowboy got some good time in with his Uncle Keddin', too. He was a very happy boy.

Sunday was a day of recovery for me.... late night + alcohol = hangover. I was good though.... I dyed a ton of yarn to be shipped tomorrow. Whew!!!!!

Tonight.... the Sucky Knitters meet @ Borders in Columbia...7pm!

Sheep and wool this weekend... counting the days......

Sheep and Wool

I am so damn excited for sheep and wool.... as soon as the buds are on the trees and my allergies kick into high gear... I start thinking about SHEEP AND WOOL! Let me break the festival down for you all:

• Free admission and parking ( no pets)
• Tons and tons of livestock..... sheep, alpacas, some bunnies????? Maybe I was dreaming about that.
• More wool and fiber than you can ever imagine.... barns and exhibition halls full of fiber and fiber related tools.... ahhhh......spindles, wheels, cards, roving, top, dyes....(eyes glaze over and drool drips from mouth....)
• Craftsmen. Artisans...I bought D a handcrafted leather belt from Lanny Tewell... he makes pretty purses too.....
• KETTLE CORN. yup.... that would be the cowboy's lunch/dinner when we go. He does not object.
• Sheep dog competitions.... we will be reliving highlights from "the pig movie"

• Sheep to shawl competition..... they sheer, clean, card, spin fiber and weave it into a shawl in 4 hours!!

Now there is the new addition.....

Come and party 'til the sheep come home!

Email me if you want to meet up! I would love to get a chance to meet you all!
