SIFF & SAFF

Where did the time go!  I have been wanting for so long to get a few posts up about the Southern Indiana Fiberarts Festival and my trip to SAFF!  I figure I can use today as a little catch up time for the poor wittle neglected blog.

I was a vendor at SIFF this year.  The festival takes place around the same time as Rhinebeck, so many of you may not have heard of it before.  It is a small festival and each year, it gets a little better.

One of the big plusses for this festival .. it is almost ENTIRELY in doors!   You can't beat a festival where your booth is out of the rain;)  Also, I simply love the comradery of my fellow vendors at this show.

I am definitely looking forward to next year!  And I must apologize for not getting all the vendor booth photos.  These are the ones who were set up  when I was finished setting up  on Thursday.  Trust me there were many vendors I missed getting photos of.

Next up...... my SAFF trip;)

My booth ;)
One of my customers showing off the shawl she made from the BFL Sock in Apple Pie with Cinnabar edge.


I bought the gray one for my Nephew in Japan.  These lovely bears are made of Soft Hypo-Allergenic Alpaca.

Look at the size of her......  Bunny!

The bunnies were hiding under the tables;)

Mmmm..  I was in smelly heaven here!

One of her yarns graces the cover of a Cat Bordhi book!

Soap Balls- These were perfect for washing your hands.  Next year, I will have to remember to get a few!

Did I ever tell you I was a sucker for yarn bowls?

And brightly colored fiber?

Southern Indiana FiberArts Festival Pictures!


And here they are Pics from the Southern Indiana Fiber Arts Festival in Corydon Indiana. It's not a huge festival, but it was cram packed with some of the kindest vendors your will ever meet. As you can see a great time was had by all!

A picture of the LunabudKnits booth to tide you over until next year!

I really enjoyed this little festival. I'm at a cross road right now as to whether I want to do this festival again or go for broke and try to get into the monster that is Rhinebeck. Not that I think I have a chance in heck of getting in at Rhinebeck....lol My plan with festivals is to vend at as many festivals in parts of the country I have never visited as I can. Sounds a bit on the crazy side doesn't it? But then again, I do have a bit of the wander lust in me:)

A picture of me goofing off snapped by the other Luna:)

Other Fun Facts..................

I taught myself to knit by watching a woman while on a flight from Scotland to the USA in 1996.

I taught myself how to spin yarn Feb 15th, 2007. I think I've done fairly well:)

'Lunabud' is a combination of two dogs' names I was loved by, Buddy and Luna:)
