This past weekend, I was lucky enough to have Garrett Ramsay stop and pick me up on his way to the Michigan Fiber Festival. This was my first time attending this event and I had a great time, meeting a couple people that I had only talked to on chat lists and reconnecting with folks that I have met in the past. The highlight of our trip is always getting the chance to get our hands sunk into some nice sheep and fleeces. I decided, kind of last minute, to enter a few fleeces into the fleece competition and then bullied Garrett to bring some as well, and Garrett ended up with 1st place Shetland fleece, I got 2nd place and then Garrett went on to take Reserve Champion colored fleece. (Champion was a dark Merino fleece) Not too shabby G, not too shabby.

Shortly after this last photo, things started to get completely out of control.......none of us could stop laughing. The whole photo shoot was supposed to be a silly set up of Garrett and I high-fiving (I know, that's not a word) each other while holding our fleeces.

We thought this would be a funny way to take a picture and it was so much fun to pose for it since we were trying to be ridiculous. Why not sprinkle as much into our sheepy activities as possible? |
