I took a lot of photos but unfortunately it was difficult to get everyone's piece as anyone who has been to one of these events would understand. Everyone gets so many interruptions from admirers that I didn't had the heart to impose on the artists to stretch out their art pieces for a photo. There was some tatting instructions and I'm planning on trying this beautiful art next year if the nice lady will demonstrate again.
That is me the driver of the van with my precious cargo of my daughter Jackie and her friend Sarah and all the spinning wheels, hooking frame, wool and fiber and suitcases etc..
This is Sarah, my daughter's friend.
This is my wonderful goofy daughter Jackie taking a self portrait with my camera. She reminds me of that rich old geezer on the Simpsons cartoon, I can't remember his name.... She'll kill me when she sees this.
This is my daughter Jackie in the center and some of her friends spinning their little hearts away.

I guess that will be it for today's post as my computer is uploading very slow right now and I lost some of the photos that I just uploaded... rats... and wanted to show and I've got to go. I'll upload some on tomorrow's post hopefully. I love your comments. JB
Mr. Smithers... yep... you're going to hear about that one! lol! Glad you had fun at the show!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking more about Mr Burns. I had to google it. Bahahaha. JB
DeleteSo happy you all had a great time, and yes I think your daughter might want to get you for the photo. Tatting is so beautiful, something I have wanted to try also,but a little intimidated by it. Take care and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLooks like great fun. I like the second picture of your daughter best, hah. Glad you had fun and didn't get lost.
ReplyDeleteit sounds like you had fun the lack of sleep comes from having fun that is the best way to lose sleep

Oh it looks like so much fun. I kept thinking and thinking about you and wondered if you were having a good time. I can't wait to see more photos. Do you spin too?
ReplyDeleteDid you get to work on your rug very much?
I am so glad you had a nice time. That is on my list sometime, to fly to Nova Scotia and attend one of these things. Just so I could hang out with you and Kim. :) I bet I would learn so much.
Nothing better than a road trip but this looks extra fun with the retreat! My Grandmother tatted and she actually did my Sister's headpiece for her wedding. It was beautiful. It's almost a lost art. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJulia,
ReplyDeleteI love that photo of you behind the wheel! You look so happy! Your photos so far are great and I hope your daughter doesn't quit speaking to you! LOL! Will wait for more photos! Glad you had fun!!
Hugs!

What fun you all had!! thank you for being the photographer & were able to share your memories of all the fiber artist work, just beautiful! Tatting is on my bucket list too, it's so intricate, heirloom work for sure & will be a lost art if we don't keep learning this art from those blessed with the talent. Keep the photos coming Julia... thank you for sharing! Looking forward to your future posts :)
ReplyDeleteHAhaa - love Piggy - no litter box to tote or bits to eat… great traveling companion. Has Jackie seen her picture, yet? HAhaaaaa…. love her hair.
ReplyDeleteAnd YOU in charge of the wheel… Being around such creative people! what fun you all had...
I had this and another comment typed but Panera logged me out earlier! peak hours - so now I'm back...
I love all the pictures Oh what fun you all had!!! Love seeing spinners.
ReplyDeleteHey, I wake up with that goofy girl every morning, and I've never seen the resemblance to Mr. Burns. She's a one-of-a-kind goddess.
ReplyDeleteIt is a rather goofy photo of me I will admit but seeing as I was the one posing and shooting, I could have made a less goofy face. I am stealing a few of your photos to do a post of my own. I spun yards and yards of yarn but I didn't take one single picture!
DeleteJackie, take all the photos you need. I'll try to take some better ones next year. I'm just starting to used to use other features on my camera. I have a year to practice. JB
DeleteEven a one- of- a- kind goddess can make a good imitation of Mr Burns. She got talents you didn't even know about, maybe. JB
