The Big Weekend

You know the one. The annual Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. Such a gorgeous weekend spent with good friends from all over the country. I had quite the haul. Maybe celebrating Mother's Day as well as my birthday this month left me feeling entitled? MDSW to yarnies is like the dollar store for little kids. Only it's more like the $100 store. Make that the $500 store.

Why am I still buying one of these every year? It all started years ago with a bunch of us each buying one and calling them our SPIRIT mugs. Just the right mug. You know the one. Naturally, my Littles broke mine before year's end, so I replaced it. but I have continued buying one every year. I think I'm over it now:)
I also bought a lovely shawl pin for a Citron gifted to me by a new friend. Here's the shawl:


Here's the pin:


Oh, did I say pin? I meant pins.

Here's a pin before the shawl.


I bought some tools for my weaving and felting, books, yarn and other fun things as well. But, here's where the memories were made:
