These first pictures are my son’s fiber stand, the 1st picture is most of it. The 2nd one is some printed alpaca coins (so cute!) on the part of the table that doesn’t show. The 3rd picture is a very large toy alpaca with alpaca fur that he uses as his mascot on his table so people will know he sells alpaca yarn (people love to pet it), you can see 3 alpaca rugs behind it. The last picture is a close up of the printed yarn bowls (cat, puppy and alpaca) he makes along with some of his alpaca fur stuffed animals and some dryer balls, the Chicken is in my Monday funny :P. And oh, the little round things hanging on the side of the yarn bin, are bird nesting balls. He puts his less useable alpaca fiber to stuff in them for the birds to use for their nests, not much gets wasted!! Hopefully clicking on the pictures will enlarge them.

This group is some of the pictures from the Fiber Festival of different vendors. The first one is my favorite goat’s milk soap and lotion maker, love her stuff!! There was so much yarn!! The 3rd picture is some wool needle felted pictures. I thought the Child’s sweater with the sheep was so cute. The 5th picture is of some beautiful batts made from Haunui Wool that comes from New Zealand, and oh my it’s so soft. I think he said New Zealand was the only place you could get that wool. I was going to buy the black batts with some colorful sari silk blended in at the top of the middle bin, but I waited too long and it was gone when I went to buy it. I will have to order it. The 6th picture was a friendly vendor who posed for a picture for me :). The next two pictures are a hand made and designed quilt from one of the 2 Guys Yarn Company and their card because the beautiful quilt deserved to have the creator known.

I did buy from 2 vendors, I didn’t get a picture loaded but I bought 2 lotions from the Lily’s soap and lotion vendor – two lotions, an almond & cherry fragrance and a lavender fragrance. Both are so good. The 1st picture above is of a miniature blending board that was so dang cute I couldn’t resist it, and the 2nd picture shows my attempt to make a mini batt and the rolag is in the 1st picture, LOL. Now I just need a little miniature spinning wheel to put in my craft room on the craft dresser with the miniature blending board. The business card is the vendor I bought this from and the creator is on the bag it came in. Those tines are sharp, I poked my thumb!!! The little brush looking thing is called a burnisher, it is used to comb the fiber deeper into the tines on the board and the two rods are used to roll the fiber up into a rolag. Would look so cute in a shadow box!!

We got a lot of rain today, heavy at times, and tomorrow (Wed) the rain turns into snow about 6am and snows until early afternoon. The weatherman said lots of straight line winds 30 to 40 mph with gusts over 60 later tonight and into tomorrow. Guess it can’t make up it’s mind. Feels like winter is fighting with spring for possession of the weather.

Hope everyone is fairing well. Be safe if you are in the way of this storm.
