Had a great time at the Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival last weekend. Finally got to meet Sarah at Paisley Rug Hooking. Her booth was the only one related to hooking, and was beautifully set up.

Highly Recommend
Don't know where I came across this book, but I have to recommend it to all those sheep and fiber lovers out there. The book is called Sheepish: Two Women, Fifty Sheep, and Enough Wool to Save the Planet
and is written by Catherine Friend. Here is the description of the book by Amazon.com:
What do you do when you love your farm . . . but it doesn’t love you? After fifteen years of farming, Catherine Friend is tired. After all, while shepherding is one of the oldest professions, it’s not getting any easier. The number of sheep in America has fallen by 90 percent in the last ninety years. But just as Catherine thinks it’s time to hang up her shepherd’s crook, she discovers that sheep might be too valuable to give up. What ensues is a funny, thoughtful romp through the history of our woolly friends, why small farms are important, and how each one of us—and the planet—would benefit from being very sheepish, indeed.
Written in short chapters, this book is laugh out loud funny and actually quite informative. If you are looking for some light reading about our favorite animal, check out this book.

Grab Bag!
Who doesn't love a grab bag?!?!? Tomorrow I'm attending my rug hooking group's hook-in. The group is at a retreat center for three days, but I can only attend on Tuesday. As part of the activities, there is a grab bag given to each participant. This is my contribution:
Each person will receive instructions and enough dye to dye a half yard of wool. I've got several different formulas packaged up and have included detailed instructions. I hope it's well-received!
