I knew I should have brought my camera with me on the first day I went. Because it was just crazy!  So many people were there it was  a mad house.   So since I didn't bring my camera I am going to link to the Artsy Mama Blog because she summed it up just right....  Thanks Artsy Mama!!

Griffin is putting on the moves..

 Work it!!!

 

 Ahh girls... so calm and happy to get her picture taken....

 unless she is running from Griffin

 

   

This is Lilly, she is Juliana's dog. She did a great job getting her picture taken.

 

 

 When I ask, "Juliana, can I take your picture?"  She says "sure...."

When I ask Griffin if I can take his picture......

 

This is what I get....  Ahh BOYS!! Got to love them!

I would treat them like pets and sell their fiber .  My land would be full of green, rolling hills and I would run over the hills while the wind blew my hair and the flower petals I had just picked......  oh ... sorry... 

But I do love fiber... and I just started being interested in spinning fiber into yarn.    The other day I finished my first little ball of yarn and I wanted to take a picture of it.  I went to my friend Dianne's house because her house is full of wonderful treasures that I find amazing.  After finding a few things that I liked I came up with these:   

 

Then I did this...

  

  

Then I thought , "what a cool concept."  So I started looking around Dianne's house and her yarn stash.

And came up with these:

  

  and this

 

  

 Then this... boobs and yarn....  LOL 

     I had way too much fun...  Still life with yarn.... the contrast of soft and hard....  objects you wouldn't think of with yarn.  hummmm......  So what do you think?

Now how crazy is that?
