Didja Miss Me?

I'm baaaack!

Mom and I had such a great time at Rhinebeck!  The trip in was easy (in the only way a 5 hour drive can be easy), the hotel was comfy, then fun, fun, FUN!

Oh, and early morning fire alarms.

That really didn't stop us from enjoying sheep...

mascots...

and, of course, bloggers!

I also got to meet the Yarn Harlot.  Sorry, no pictures.  She was completely occupied by all things blogger, and I thought it would be better just to shake her hand and congratulate her on the wedding.  But I DID get to meet her, and she was as gracious as anything to have a hundred crazy bloggers attacking!

I didn't buy any yarn, as was the plan.  I do have a considerable stash, and plenty of things already on the needles.  Instead, I bought this:

And this:

My first try at spinning, on a drop spindle.  It is extremely fun, even though I'm not very good at it yet.  I think I need to have some skill before I drop $500 on a spinning wheel...right?

P.S. I have tons of photos of sheep and scenery in my photo album.  There's a story with every picture!
