Alpaca Fiber Eye

In Santa Monica this weekend was the 'Fabulous Fiber Fest'. A field trip for the Long Beach SnB'ers. At the fest I was zapped by the mystical 'alpaca fiber eye'. I will now and forever be obsessed with....fiber. Fabric, beads, fiber animals, SCA demonstrations (with beautiful Renata), they had spinning and spinners, weavers, clothing, books and some yarn. Yup, some yarn, sadly lacking in this tasty treat. This years fiberfest was much less filling than in the past. So the Long Beach SnB'ers trekked over a few blocks to the wonderful eatery....'Swingers' Oh yeah, that was delicious! A best day ever
Friends, food and fiber....Life is good.....and tasty!

I Can Sew Too!

I can sew, what do you know. I love making bags and I needed a birthday gift. Rummaged through my fabric pile and came up with this lovely combination. This was based on a tote from one of my Zakka books, the construction was a delight, I added the outside pockets for patterns and knitting needles. Oh, I like it! It posed well for the photo in my backyard. Ohhhh I love it when a plan comes together...and I loved the vegetarian sloppy joes Sharlene made for us at the knitmeeting/birthday party....yum!
