I did a few more sketches but it doesn't seem like I took pics. Will rectify that shortly and put in my next post. I will be working on my Raggedy Ann doll and get some doll pins painted. The next holiday (so-to-speak) is in September.

It's July!
Wow! That was fast. I added another day of celebrating for the birthday. I went to a cool fabric store with a friend and then she took me to lunch. And then there was the holiday, July 4th, and I just kind of chilled out. Now I'm getting back to business. I had a nice time off to enjoy and reflect the rest of the year. Because, the year is officially halfway over. The days are getting shorter. Eegads! So here are a few things I've done the past week or so. Some new forest folks based on an alpaca wearing a leather bomber jacket. It was on a greeting card. Which I can't seem to find. Moving sucks.

Southeastern Animal and Fiber Fair
This past Friday, Maya and I went to the Southeastern Animal and Fiber Fair (SAFF) in Asheville, North Carolina. We'd been planning on this event for the past eight months and kept our fingers crossed so that nothing would prevent us from attending. We were so excited to be on the road. The weather was brisk and the sun was shining.
All I can say is that we had a blast. We walked around the main section that was in a small arena at I believe the fair ground. Immediate overwhelm, looking at all the fibers, yarn, roving, patterns, handmade and knit items. Oh my gosh! I so want a loom and new spinning wheel. Maya wants alpacas, which are so stinking cute. Especially the babies. And the noises they make. A cross between a grunt, bark, and bunny sounds. The tiny ones had little blankets over them. I guess to keep them warm. If I had room, I most definitely would have a couple. There hair is so soft. Some say it's softer than cashmere and easier to take care of. I bought some to make gloves. I guess I need to finish my second pair of socks. We also went to the other buildings for more animals and vendors. I will most definitely have a project in mind next year.
Oh, and the Angora bunners. So cute!
