AlpacaFest 2009 (admission is FREE!)

Those 2 white Alpacas are not freakishly huge-it's a photo

The John Deer display was a huge hit

Stella's been trained right-She saw those felted acorns and said "we can make those!"

luscious, luscious, hand-dyed alpaca wool

I continue to marvel at how these little Friedlets make everything fun. We were for sure the only non-alpaca breeders at the show, but we petted, and we worked the John Deer display, and we felt the different wools and display and-perhaps most exciting of all-Ema found $3 in the little zipper pocket of my bag and bought us a medium fry to share. That meant everyone got a turn with the ketchup pump and those little paper cups!

Craftaliciousness: So sometime before the next rain I'm planning to have the little ones collect a bowl of acorns from the front yard. We're going to felt some little balls of colored roving and glue acorn caps on (as seen above) Also planning to dip some whole acorns in glue and then glitter! WooHoo!!!!!!
