It's Fair Time!

Last weekend I volunteered at the Kitsap County Fair at the Weavers and Spinners demo booth. I regret that I didn't take photos of the kids who came to try out needle felting. They were so enthusiastic! I've noticed that adults tend to be more critical of themselves and their work, whereas the kids just go at it and have fun! They get really creative!

I managed to take some photos of the animals, however. Here are a few. The rest will be in a new photo album called "Fair Time".

It's interesting to think about the whole culture behind the county or state fair. I was amazed to see small girls working with big horses and with such confidence. And at the Kitsap County Fair, I noticed the animals seemed happy and relaxed, cool and comfortable.

These sheep are relatives of Hazel and Merna, my Romney girls.

Here's the booth I worked at. Hi Jo! Nice frappuccino you have there!

I've been working for the last few months to build up my inventory for the Puyallup Fair . I'll be selling my Woolpets and kits with other artists at the Merchants hall, as part of the Artists in Action. Each day, 3 different artists will be demonstrating at the fair.  I'll be featured on Saturday the 15th of September from 5-8pm.  The fair runs from Sept. 7-23.
A special thank you to my folks for lending me  a hand to get stuff ready. Here they are putting kits together. 

Now its back to work for me!

Looks like fun! I always wanted to spin yarn for knitting but never got around to it :x

I also wanted to tell you I received my penguin kit today! I'm a first time felter [minus the felting I did knitting ;)], but I'm ready to tackle it :) Thanks so much!
