It all started on Saturday with breakfast at Coleen's house.
She had quite a spread and even carved us a watermelon in the shape of a sheep to get us ready!!
She had also finished her Arwen - it's it gorgeous!
After breakfast - we headed out and soon were in the midst of a sea of fiber enthusiats. I had no particular agenda - so I was free to take in the mobs of people lined up to buy Socks that Rock and Tess and Brooks farms and Sea silk at my leasure.
Hubbo even decided to come along! He had heard me talking about this "Sheep thing" as he called it for months and decided he had to see it for himself. Well - he was so great - he waited in the monstrous T-shirt line for me and about 10 of my friends! Thanks honey!
He even touched the wool!!
After a yummy lunch of Lamb - I went to the Blogger meetup and met lots of cool new people and hooked up with some old friends.
It was so great to met some people I had only written to online.
I also spent some time looking at the sheep - and definitely wanted to take one home... but alas! I decided my dogs wouldn't appreciate that...
Aren't they cute though!
It's a sheep cow!
Check out these 4 horned sheep!
There were alpaca and llamas and goats and rabbits too!
I did try a wheel or two while I was there - but nothing screamed "buy me!" loud enough - so I didn't come home with any. I did buy a few raffle tickets to win a wheel - so hopefully - when I win - they will be delivering that soon :)
The weather was perfect - I was in the company of great friends and found some great yarn and roving.
Thanks for a great day!
Day two and all my purchases tomorrow!

OK, those sheep are wearing coats made from my froggy shower curtain (how in the world did I miss those?!?) It was great seeing you on Saturday ... looks like I pooped out of the blogger meetup too soon! Can't wait to hear about day 2 (only got there on day 1)!
Had a great time hanging out and fondling yarn! Looking forward to seeing what you got... you'll have to bring some of it to Borders!
Hey, I know those two crazies in the matching sweaters! :D
It was great fun meeting you - thanks for not laughing too hysterically at the photoshoot on Sunday.
It was great to meet you and hang out for a while! Don't spoil us by posting all your spoils at once! You take some nice pics, try out your skills for some yarn pr0n!
Great pictures! I'm so glad we got to go together. I had a blast! See you tonight!
Looks like you had fun!! I can't wait to see your purchases! I only made it on Saturday, can't wait to see the Sunday pics too!
I had the BEST time! Enjoyed meeting you and your husband and can't wait for next year- I went to the blogger meet up but must have missed you. I left after that. Money was spent and I was being to justify our families need for a herd of Wensleydales.
OK, it's official: I need a lamb. How adorable! It looks like you had a great time! I'm so jealous that all of you guys got to meet up in person!!! What fun!
Hi Jody! I found your blog via Stacey... I dont' think we actually met, but our groups overlapped at some point. (I'm in the bright orange sweater in your meetup pics). It was so much fun - and you have the best lamb pics I've seen!
I missed seeing you, girl!
Looks like you had an amazing time too - and I love all of your photographs :)
TOTALLY missed you all. I wanted to go meet up with everyone, but by then, I was EXHAUSTED and curled up in a frozen ball with the guild!
can't wait for show and tell!!
I missed the sheep cow! Of, course I also didn't see you. Only 364 more days until the next one.
