What? Two posts in one day? I wanted to move the last post below the fold as quickly as possible, so I’m posting these out of order…
The Fiber Arts Festival at Bonanzaville was absolutely fabulous! Bonanzaville is a recreated pioneer village in West Fargo, North Dakota, and it made a beautiful back drop for all the spinning, weaving, knitting, crocheting, tatting … *gasp* … all of the fiber arts on display.
The turnout was wonderful. If you stopped by my booth, whether to say hi, pet yarn, smell soap, or watch me spin on the drop spindle with more enthusiasm than grace, thank you! I met people from all over the US - even Merritt Island (next door to Cape Canaveral)! I even got to meet someone I’ve been cyberstalking: Deb of Northern Prairie Alpacas. Don’t be terribly surprised if you see some alpaca news here in the next few months!
I did actually take a few pictures, but I’ve misplaced my camera… Instead you get an action shot of me weaving on Mark Bernstein’s loom. You can find his gorgeous rugs at Log Cabin Looms on Etsy.
Loom or Torture Device?
Next I’m heading to Eureka, Montana, for Fiberfest EUREKA!! The boys are going with me this time - it could be very interesting!
