Jeremy and I had SUCH a great time at the Manitoba Fibre Festival this past weekend.  From meeting new people, teaching fun classes and seeing old friends, Winnipeg was the place to be.  Since I was teaching during the set up, Jeremy was in charge of getting my booth up and running.  He is my main man when it comes to shows as he supports me in all aspects.

To start off the festival, I was teaching a Wool Judging Level 1 workshop over 1 1/2 days.  With the immense help of Gerry gathering up all the fleeces and supplies as well as bringing the course to Manitoba. I was very excited to be able to talk about wool and work through over 57 fleeces with such a great group of students.

The Flatlands Collection was available for all to see and I was happy to see that Aura was so well represented.  Thank you to all who purchased kits and patterns.  Ally and I still have a couple more if you are interested!

I was SO looking forward to being able to wear my Aura for the first time at the end of the festival.  I have plans to knit another.
I also got lots done on my Liplatus shawl with some of Ally's yarn as well.... just a few more rows to go!
Of course I had to make a stop at Wolseley Wool as well. They have a superb selection

Manitoba Basset Walk 2017

Jeremy and I were invited to attend the Manitoba Basset Walk (#mbw17) as we have been meaning to go for the past few years now.  As some of you may know, we have a basset hound named Jenny, and meeting other basset owners and seeing their dogs is something we love to do.  They are all so different yet all the same haha.  There were even 2 basset puppies that were adorable!  We adopted Jenny when she was 2 so we never got to see her extra-long ears hanging from her domed head as a baby.  We had a great time petting every dog and soaking up the drool.  There are a couple basset rescues that raise funds for other dogs in need.  You should have seen the great prizes!  We are trying to plan next year to bring Jenny so she can do the walk with her as we really wish she could have been with us.  She was sleeping over at the best friend Harley’s house and this is the state she was in while we were away….

That’s our girl, classy all the way but look at that smile.  She is always pretty tired out from having fun with Harley but was excited to see us when we got home.
