Happy Mother's Day!---------
It's been a great weekend - kicked off by this, which totally made my day (my weekend? my week? All of the above) I've been following her blog forever, and was sooo flattered to be a little feature in her world!
Then yesterday, I took my Mom to New Hampshire Sheep and Wool in the pouring rain. We brought boots and umbrellas and had a blast. (I left the burbon at home this time, Carol, but promise to bring it to Rhinebeck again.) Although the animals looked a little wet and dreary, the yarn vendors were snug and happy in the buildings, and even the line at the lamb burgers was short! A bonus for the brave wet souls who ventured out.
It was my Mom's first fiber festival and I don't think she'll ever buy yarn in a store again. (remember your first time??) She was totally wowed by the fab fibers and sniffed out the bargains like a pro. We were on a quest to find yarn for two of these hoodies (the kid on the skateboard) which, she's planned for my nephews. After much yarn debate and squeezing and discussion, we found amazing stuff from Bartlett Farms to fit the bill.
For her present, I made her a few more of those stitch markers (don't tell Maya!).
I also gave her my original Golden Vintage Cardigan. She was so happy wearing it at the festival, I figured she needed to own it! Besides, I can always make another.
Now off for a family hike - since it's not raining anymore.
