London…

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Dobby spent last week in London with some of her classmates and two of her teachers. She says she had a great time and saw lots of things - and even more important, she missed my cooking! ;o) When I said in my last post that she ’survived’ Fish & Chips I meant it. She h-a-t-e-s fish. Loves fries with vinegar, but the fish she can live without. However, the teachers picked the right night to feed the kids the fish - it was the first night they got there and they hadn’t eaten anything in (like) forever so they were STARVING. She says she ate the whole thing. ;o)

She took over 300 pictures - I’m going to share 15 of them with you. Just click on the picture below and you’ll be taken to the album.

Let me know which ones are your favorites! If anyone is interested in reading about what the group did while they were there, the trip diary can be found here.

…was CT Sheep & Wool in Vernon, CT. There were friends, fleece (no, I didn’t buy one - even though Cynthia tried *really hard* to talk me into one), and fun. Here are a few of my favorite photos:

…and finally, my loot:

CT-05

Two skeins of BFL ‘Luster Sox’ from Dye Dreams, a needle felting holder and a WPI tool from The Wheel Thing. I know, not a lot there. Lately I’ve felt more comfortable with quality instead of quantity. ;o)

Oh and something I hadn’t blogged about before this - Dobby spent the past week in London on a school trip. She’s back, she had a great time, survived ‘fish & chips’ and having to wear a skirt to the theater. (oh the horror!) She even took a couple of good pictures, which I’ll be posting soon!
