Stitches West

The monkeys were on the road again. This time to Stitches West with the Blue Moon Fiber Arts Sockateers. We Sockateers were intrusted with the management and running of the BMFA Booth at the show (thanks tina for the wonderful opportunity!). As you may have guessed, we had a great time, chatted with many Sock Club members, made a lot of new friends, sold a crapload of yarn (what am I saying, this stuff sells itself), and in general had a fabulous time. The numerous photos below really tell the whole story.............

Things we encountered on the road.....











































California Worms, The Olive Pit, dogs in a car, an empty gas tank.....................(note to self, monkeys can not be left in charge of the car) ,even chickens......................
