Pink-Ranger-and-the-girls

Philly ComiCon or Go Go Power Rangers!

After leaving the Yarn and Wine Tasting last week, we decided to take a little adventure. Doug had discovered that half way home we would be passing the Philly ComiCon, and the original Pink Ranger would be signing autographs! The girls LOVE the Power Rangers, and Kyla dressed as the Pink Ranger – her favorite – for Halloween this year. So you can imagine that it was pretty much decided immediately that we would stop at the ComiCon on the way home for an autograph and photo op!

Yarn & Wine 2016 – A good time was had by all!

Well, this past Saturday was the Yarn and Wine tasting, and it was a blast! The weather was cooperating, so we had a tent outside to enjoy our afternoon. I want to say a big Thank YOU to all our awesome sponsors!!! You can see a list of them here.

In addition to the goodie bags that everyone got to take home, there were enough door prizes for everyone to win at least one. Kyla had a blast picking names and handing out the door prizes throughout the afternoon.

Tamara-Me-Carrie-Marie-SNAP-2016

Snap! Wrap Up

Well, SNAP was nothing short of amazing! I’ve been to crochet and knit conferences and trade shows, but this was my first blogger conference. The days were jam packed with networking and classes, and the nights were full of fun. I averaged 5 hours of sleep a night, and I was still full of energy. I think I may have been running on adrenaline and endorphins (there was a LOT of chocolate involved). I didn’t take as many pics as I planned on, I was just too engrossed in everything! I did take a few, though, so I’m posting most of them here and I’ll share a bit more about the conference through the pictures.

Before I start, I need to send out a big THANK YOU to Red Heart Yarns for making this trip possible for me. Just wait to see the fun we have in store for you in July!!!

The trip started where most of my trips start:

Meet Mountain Meadow Wool with Jessie At Home

Meet Mountain Meadow Wool – from the ranch to your stash!

Today I have the honor of introducing you to another of our fabulous Yarn and Wine 2016 sponsors! Mountain Meadow Wool Mill is owned by Karen Hostetler in Buffalo Wyoming. She found herself surrounded by the culture of ranching and sheep, yet she had a hard time finding local yarn and fiber. This concerned her so she decided to do something about it, and Mountain Meadow Wool was born!

Space-Cadet-yarn-review-from-Jessie-At-Home

Beep. Bloop. Blip!! This yarn is out of this world!

I meet the super fun ladies of Space Cadet at the last TNNA trade show. As soon as I met them, I knew they were my kind of gals! Not only were they just spectacularly enjoyable to be around, but the little samples they had to give out included a temporary tattoo with their cute little alien logo. Do you want a sample skein and tattoo of your own? Come to the Yarn and Wine Tasting 2016, there is one in every goodie bag!!
