Me & Mimi's Crafting Nook

Last weekend Auntie, my cousin, me and my lil girl went to the MS Pecan Festival.  This was our 1st trip down there, and we really enjoyed it.  I love outside, animals, old stuff and crafts, so it was right down my alley.  The crafts were quilts, wooden bedding, bowl making, etc.  You can find the MS Pecan Festival on Facebook at the following link: MS Pecan Festival.  

While looking around  I found a mother/ daughter team that has Alpaca’s.  They ‘re going to have a Festival on November 19th from 9-4.  You can find  them on Facebook at the following link Stinger Alpaca Festival.  They also have a website which is https://www.astrokageneusalpacas.com/.  I am wanting to go. I hope my schedule will allow for me to.   I loved the stuffed animals and the lap blankets.  Here are some pictures of their work. 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

                   

Look at the spinning wheel.  Super Cool!!!!

           There were another set of ladies that had pretty quilts.  One of the lady’s name was Sylvia Rolison, you can get in touch with her at threeoaksfarm@earthlink.net

Here are only some of their pretty quilts they had made.

        

         

 

The following are some more booths with crochet and quilts.

                           

 

 

These ladies  had spent a lot of time one these the large round crocheted table top was 52 in  I believe.

     

There was a mule pull, my first time to see it and it was cool.

Then there was a mini horse and cart my lil girl loved it. ha ha she wanted to ride.

They also had old farm equipment that was actually working.  One was shucking corn and the other was grinding up the stalks.

 

These are some of the wood craft booths:

Beautiful Wood Bedroom suits. (I love these)

 

The bench and chair was awesome!! Just didn’t have room to bring them home…ha ha ha LOVED them.

The following 2 pictures are bowl making. (these are so interesting watching someone make these)

There was a guy making brooms there too.  I didn’t get to see him actually make one from start to finish but there is always next year.

They also had a black smith.  I have seen these before and I am fascinated with this.

 

This took place in a pecan orchard.  It had old buildings around the area, which set the mood for me back in the older days.  Here are some of the buildings  and the stage where they had singing going on as well.
