Flock and Fiber Festival....

Check out the smile on the guy in the middle:)


Imagine the sock drawer this yarn could create..






slightly creepy.....





This is my third year attending the Flock and Fiber Festival in Canby,Oregon, but the first year I was able to go alone with friends without bringing the kids along. I could hardly believe my luck as I hardly ever go anywhere without one of my kids along.I felt a little guilty about visiting the animals without them, but it was so nice to be able to look at everything without being rushed or worrying about sticky fingers on hand spun yarns:) It was so great to have a little mama time.
The weather was beautiful and I brought home some beautiful wool roving for a future project.

The Oregon Country Fair......2010

At the Fair...

During a wondrous break in the rain we were able to get out and enjoy our Sunday at the County Fair. A few prizes were won, a few treats were eaten and a good time was had by all.

a bit of joy...

{this moment}-A Friday ritual. A single photo-no words-capturing a moment from the week. A simple,special,extraordinary moment. Inspired by Soulemama's blog.

Oregon Country Fair 2009

Hello! The fair this year was wonderful. We all had a great time. I had been preparing for weeks to sell a few things at the fair but after the last minute trip planning and deciding to go a day early I just didn't have the time to make that happen this year. On the bright side I will have several new things on my Etsy shop in the very near future.
We camped at Quiet Camp this year which was quiet the first night...maybe only due to the rain outside. A really sweet couple camped next to us, they had two little girls who became instant friends with Sophie. They shared their pancakes and cocoa for breakfast, and the mama did Sophie's hair and painted her face for the fair.The perfect camping neighbors really...unlike the loud annoying teenagers on mushrooms on the other side(but that's another story).
We left a day early .....only to avoid a huge rainstorm on Sunday...I heard it was quite the muddy mess. Whew..

I loved the sink at our camp.

The only thing this picture needs is bubbles.

It was a long walk from camp to the gates.

The man-powered Hippypotamus.

It was the 40th year of the fair!Make way....

...make way...

....make way for the magic......

...of the dragon.

This cute lady painted many a boob.

Look, even Jimi Hendrix was there....

This is my favorite costume.

Finally, a little space to run free.
I love this sign....
