A good day trip!

Well it seems that overall the family enjoyed our trip to Alpacafest last weekend. We had a long and full day related to all things alpaca. I was very happy to see a couple new faces in the judging pens on the male side. The shows was running behind and this caused us to miss a specific alpaca we were keeping our eye on.

We found some new things to price and try out. I know my wife got some new ideas on felting things that I'm sure she will be trying out at some point.

If you haven't noticed yet the web site is up and running though it is lacking some details still. Anyway, please stop over, take a stroll and I'd love to hear your feedback.

I haven't poked myself yet!

As my husband had mentioned previously, we purchased some materials to begin the felting process when we visited a larger farm during National Alpaca Days. Beverly (the lady who was spinning and felting at that farm) was nice enough to show me how the process works and what to expect...she also told me that I would, indeed, poke myself at least once with that sharp little needle.

I haven't done it yet...yea! And the kitten seems to think I know what I'm doing already.

I must be doing something right, because I've intrigued my 11 year old daughter enough for her to say, "That's cool! I want to learn how to do that!"

Hopefully, I can keep going with my felting without poking myself, but then again, maybe it would just be better to get it out of the way so I can stop thinking about it when I'm working. We'll see...

After this, I'm going to have to try my hand at wet felting.
