Shows and sheepies

 Are these the cutest things ever? A vendor at the fiber show had 2 bottle fed lambies with her. They were adorable in their matching nappies (diapers). Cry babies too. If they were not in the mood to be fawned over and petted, they let you know very loudly. But gosh, you just had to touch them!!!
I am still trying to recover from the long weekend. It was a WET and cold show. Very wet. Very cold. And packing up was a muddy treat! Did I mention wet and cold? If we decide to do this next year, we will be better prepared. A second set of warmer clothes including leggings, winter jacket and fingerless gloves. We were indoor, but the building was unheated and the doors were left open to make it look more inviting.
The storms have continued this week. I have spent my nighttime sleeping hours manning the outdoor sump pump to keep my playhouse and our backyard from floating away. The playhouse (which is my studio) did get some water along the outer wall, but nothing major or near the problems I have had in the past. Thankfully our electric stayed on. That was my prayers answered. Cause if it had gone off, everything would have been bad. Very bad. Penny's girls had a tree come down on their run. :o(( The sun is shining now and you can hear chainsaws all over town working on the wind damage. I have not heard of any injuries or deaths, so we are a blessed community.
I will post some pics of our booth next time. Everyone stay safe.
I am so blessed.~Angela

Thursday crazies

 Here is a pic of my room. Everything is stacked and ready to be packed into our vehicle. Penny and I will be vendoring this weekend at the Fiber Event at Greencastle, Indiana. It is the largest fiber show in the state. Debbie is riding shotgun. So it will be a great sister weekend.

 Here are four of my lil' mousie pincushions. I wanted to get more made, but glad for these being done! They turned out cute. A tad fiddly, but fun. The mousie is wool, the tomato is lightly stained cotton polkydots. I know some of you love you some red polkydots. The tails are black wire.
 And since I haven't posted pics of my boys lately. Here is Timmy sleeping (but mommy disturbed him) with his puppy. So cute. He loves it.
And this is our good boy. Toby is such the best doggie. Except when we eat pizza. He goes nuts! He recognizes the word even. Whimpers and acts out a sight, even barks! And Toby does NOT bark. Ever. Unless he reallllllllly has to go make a potty and we need to go quickquick (as Jaidy says). So yes, we have decided his freakishly long legs comes from a long lost relative who was an Italian greyhound. :o)
No pic for this, but praise the Lord the roofing is over. Our house and detached garage both had to be replaced due to hail and wind damage. They are cleaning up outside even as I type. So yayaya for that. And a thank God for Farm Bureau Insurance. They came through for us!
Hope everyone has a great weekend. I hope to take some good photos to share with you next week from the show. ~Angela
