Don’t know if I’ll keep it up, but why not try it?

We had fun at Fiber Fest.
Sep 21
Yup, Thsi weekend was the Finger-lakes Fiber Fest, in Hemlock NY. I went on saturday with the Family, and we had lots of fun.
I was pretty good, and only came home with some fiber for a swap, just a little bit for me, a pound of raw alpaca, and a brand new BOSWORTH SPINDLE!
my new Bossie.
A side view:
see the pretty silk?
For reference, there is about 1 ounce of silk there. The silk came from The Spinning Bunny, and I highly recommend them. lovely stuff.
The kids had lots of fun too. Beeba1 seems to have gotten in all the pics, though, and poor Beeba 2 was left out. Possibly because he was all about running around and touching, while she was mostly happy to ride in the stroller.
First, he had to say Hi to the Alpacas.
Then he got to PET the llama!
He saw Sheep Getting sheared.
And tried to feed the sheep.
And Finally, he got to HOLD an Angora Bunny! SOFT!
Yup, that big white Fluff ball is a bunny. Don’t ya just want one? I kind of do. But… NO PETS around here for a while… not even gorgeous fiber producing ones.
So Beeba 1 has an ongoing love affair with trains. He loves them. Especially Thomas. He loves the new Dinosuar Train show on PBS…
He has this whole costume, its his train conductor stuff, so he can be the conductor.
But… His sister (she is 16 months old) is currently having a love affair with Hats. So here she is being the miniature train conductor:
My little Conductor
Here she is again...
Isn't she cute?
I also have to mention that she is growing up so fast. is very vocal and while she does not say a million words, she has started using simple sentences with the words she does know. (mostly “I want ___”, but you know, thats still impressive. )
Ok, that’s enough of the Proud mama showing off for today. Back to your regular programming. 
So, I promised further updates, and here I am.
First, I have to share some exciting news! I ordered my drum carder this past weekend (finally) and so very soon, I will be adding to my line of products some luscious full sized batts. I’ll show off the new carder when it gets here, maybe I’ll even make a video of a carding session.
We went to a local event here this weekend too, with the kids. It is called “Strong Kids, Safe Kids” and it is a safety oriented event, held annually here. They offer free ID cards for the kids, and have lots of fun safety and learning activities oriented towards kids of all ages.
The kids had lots of fun.
Her first real pigtails, isn't she a little ham?
Waiting in line to go in the balloon house.
On the crafty side of things, I have a bunch of pretty new yarns to share, too. Yes, some will be in the shop, but I haven’t decided on all of them… I kind of love them.
