| Great stop for lunch on the return trip with Lizzy! |
 |
| Lizzy didn't take long at the rest stop to take pics of the great views! |
 |
| Us gals were busy taking pictures....Scott has to corral us back to the jeep! |
 |
| I haven't seen lake Michigan for over 30 years....sure have missed the sight! |
 |
| View at the rest stop...love the farms! |
We are taking advantage of the weather....time to freshen up our storefront! Scott did a fabulous job. Bethany and Greg joined us for the afternoon.....A perfect Saturday!
Most of my spinning has been done on a drop spindle....and some on a Louet....without a lot of success on my part....but with the Fantasia, I am finding I really CAN spin!!! This is my first skein, and with Scott's help my first true plied yarn. I AM NOW CAPABLE OF SITTING DOWN "AND FROM START TO FINISH" MAKE YARN! It's the little things that make our little fiber world rock! THANK YOU SCOTT for your patience and lessons!

| EMILY AND ROSIE AND THE REVEAL OF HER CHICKEN SWEATER! |
 |

 |
| Rosie wears this well! Rosie has made more than one cameo appearance! |
 |
| Photogenic too! |
 |
| Thank you Chanin and Emily!!! |
 |
| We left Arizona and it's Saguaro Laden mountains...in search of greener land and cooler temps only to find ourselves most comfortable in familiar surroundings! Western Towns, cowboys and reminders of days gone past! |
 |
| These photos were taken in Pioneer Park Village...just a few minutes from where we live in IOWA. We really like this place so much that we will be demonstrating again here in the Spring. |
 |
| What are we demonstrating??? Well............it's not gunfighting..... |
 |
| It's certainly not fashion!!! Although that was fun! |
 |
| It wasn't farming...... |
 |
| Nor housekeeping! Actually I could live here with a few plumbing modifications! |
 |
 |
| It was to Demonstrate Fiber Arts......Spinning, hand carding and Drop Spindle.....and Lizzy demonstrated... |
 |
| KNITTING..........Lizzy has embraced our love of Fiber Arts and really enjoys knitting. We had a wonderful time doing this demonstration and we miss Lizzy much since she has moved to Wisconsin. There are many events going on in Pioneer Village....a great place to take the kids and remember what it was like for the early settlers that paved our way, and endured many hardships we could not imagine! Thank you Pioneer Village for this experience. |
