Fiber Arts & Animals Festival - Oct 3 & 4, 2009

Hello,

We are starting a new two-day Fiber Arts & Animals Festival in
Marshall, Michigan on October 3 and 4, 2009. We are joining an
already established one-day event that has attracted 3000 to 4000
people in the past. For us in 2009, they are expanding to a two-day
event. We are looking for talented fiber artists and producers to
join our festival. Our passion is fiber art. Our mission is fiber
art education.

Would you be interested in attending as an exhibitor or learning more
about our festival?

Regards,
Rick Boesen

Hello,
Hi Rick............
I have no interest in participating in your festival, but.......... I
looked at the
photos of your llamas on your web page. They are so darn cute!! Are
they
yours? Do you raise them? How many do you have?

Steady, Patti!!

I looked into keeping a few alpacas some years ago. They look
beautiful, and they have been domesticated for thousands of years; but
there are not inconsiderable snags. Over here, anyway, they are
terribly expensive - females much higher than males; they do not like
being treated like pets (all I wanted to do + perhaps learning to spin
their wool). They do not always co-operate with what you want them to
do when you want them to do it! They can also get neurotic if they get
too much human attention. I do not have any!!
I expect you were just interested, but thought I'd chip in as I did so
much work on them at the time.

Howdy!

Hey, wait a minute! Pat!!!!
.... oh, never mind... I thought you were talking about me,
terribly expensive and not always co-operative... but I'm
not neurotic about too much attention (I just go into another
room and shut the door behind me).

The local fiber arts & animal fest is just a couple of weeks away:

LOL! As adorable as they are, I just don't know where I'd keep one -
no exactly backyard pets! And what would my 2 mutts say? They do,
however, have the most expressive eyes - like "doe eyes" (almost) -
I'm always a sucker for a pretty face......... :-)

Yes, and when they have you trapped into gazing into those beautiful
eyes, whispering sweet nothings, they spit! And it isn't just saliva
g
They are camelids, after all.

My friend over on the goth group who raises llamas said that she gave
up on alpacas because they some of the most nasty ill tempered
creatures she has ever met, and they are terribly fragile insofar as
illness and injury.

Nothing has been the same since that house fell on my sister.

I guess I took the right decision then. Phew!
