The best part was running into my spinning friends Emmelita, Gwen and Donna that came down from Oklahoma. They didn't know we moved to Texas and it was fun to surprise them.
We usually let the boys stay in the cabin and girls get the RV, but this cabin was oozing with estrogen and I didn't want the guys to get their cooties all over it. I had to take photos immediately before we ruined the charming look.
So now I will show you the Kid and Ewe haul. Shopping a fiber fest with kids definitely influences your purchases. An example would be these Peruvian finger puppets. I think the girls would have bought the whole lot if we let them.
And here's my stuff. Some pinky/purply wool and tencel roving, some hand dyed mohair locks from Emmelita's goats, a sparkly batt of wool/mohair/angelina , and three skeins of Texas spun wool singles (one in turq, and the other undyed). The colors and glitter are reflective of my girlies' tastes. They had a blast and it's never too early to start growing a stash.
Will and the girls did great. They want to return next year. Good times.

Sounds like you had a blast! So...are you coming up for Rendezvous next year if you are making it all the way out there to Stitches West, too? Hmmm??
I would've totally fought Monkey Girl for the loft. That cabin was the cutest, the sweetest, it was simply BEYOND!
