Catching up on 29 Faces

I'm back!  We had an awesome weekend at the Pagosa Fiber Festival.  Met some really wonderful people from all over and did well for our first Fiber Festival.  The weather was a little rough as we experienced some very high winds. Had to cinch down the tents with ratchet tie downs and despite using heavy duty spikes, Saturday night's high winds blew so hard it broke one of our spikes in half, luckily the other spikes held strong.   So by the time the day was over we were extremely beat and wind blown.

Everyone enjoyed seeing pictures of our herd and seeing the process of our fibers from rovings, to yarns to finished products.

Hubby did so well on his demonstration of the use of a Hackle to blend fiber, that we sold out on the Hackles he brought to the show!  My fingerless gloves did well too, they always do, as I can never keep enough of them in the shop...as did the rovings, yarns and felted products.  All in all it was a great fair.





Afterwards we could not leave without treating ourselves to the Pagosa Hot Springs, sitting in the therapeutic mineral healing waters was heavenly.

Of course, despite having a busy weekend I did make time to sketch my daily faces.  I thought I'd have time to post them on my blog in the evenings, but I have to admit by the time we were done and got back to the hotel I was beat.

So, you get to see the 4 faces today...
