Stories from the Farm

Outstanding, Family, Friends, and Fiber…also known as the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival.  What a great time we had at the festival last weekend!

It started on Friday with a fabulous felted boot class with Carin Engen.  It turned out that 3 very fun ladies were also taking the same class.  At the end of the day, there were a lot of beautiful boots around the room.

Here are mine.  I will be ordering soles soon and adding buttons up the side.

Since I was in a class all day, I was a little short on time to set-up my vendor booth.  Thanks to a couple spectacular friends, this wasn’t an issue at all!!!!

Love these two ladies!!!  In addition to helping me set my booth up, they also watched it for little bits of time throughout the weekend.  Words can’t describe how much I appreciate their help.

My parents also came over and helped me put the finishing touches on it.  They have an apartment close to the festival location and I got to hang out with them for the weekend, what a treat!  They also watched my whippet, Paisley, for me during the day.  She did a very good job of convincing them that the princess only does what the princess wants to do 😉

The mornings were beautiful and the weather was so cooperative!

A friend’s dog, Zeke, got to show off his mad duck herding skills.  It was a big crowd pleaser.

A mama llama and her mini me.

I love seeing all of the breeds of sheep.  This poor guy needed a new hairdo…

there, much better!

I think this guy was a little jealous 😉

Lots of baaaaing back and forth between the barn and the show ring.

Love those Border Leicesters!

The Icelandic Sheep breed was the featured breed and there were a lot of lovely fleeces to admire – on the sheep…

and off.

and of course…my favorite breed.  Love the horns on this little girl.

Quality time with great friends enjoying what we love!
