MA Sheep and Wool Festival

Last Saturday me and Robert Gerard took a LONG journey to the MA S&W in Cummington, MA. It took us about 2.5 hours to get there and man was it a long ride. The boy offered to take me since he was too busy when the NH and ME festivals were in town. Ironically the one in our own state was farther away, go figure.

My goal for my first S&W was to learn something from the spinners there, at least get to observe them, buy some new roving and a new drop spindle. I achieved two out of the three. The spinners there were friendly enough but I was a little intimidated to ask any questions since I am a very shy person, but I still got some roving and a new drop spindle! A gift for my Robert who got lots of kisses after =)

We saw some cute sheep while we were there of course. This one was my favorite.

Here is me and Robert in one of the barns, sadly the ice cream I am holding was dropped about 5 seconds later.....I was very upset =(

Doesn't he look thrilled to be there? Lol he was such a good sport through the whole thing and like I said, he bought me a new spindle too!

Here is it, my Kundert 1.1 oz spindle. It spins like a dream, way better then my others ones and I LOVE it. It is shown here with a wool batt I got in a swap last month, my first try at spinning a batt and I must say I quite like it. I need to get more......

After a long hard day and the festival we found ourselves getting snuggly with Roberts baby Titan, the cutest dog in the world. And we brought someone else into the family.....

Meet Carlton the beta fish! Lol Rob just loves him, we picked him up when we were buying a new harness for Titan, isn't he cute? Haha, all in all it was a great Saturday =)
