Last Saturday was Fiestas Patrias in Old Town - or Mexican Independence Day. Complete with a parade, dancers, activities, food, plays, and of course - Fiber Arts.
Nothing says festive like a parade with horses. And beautiful ladies on horses is just about perfection. We greatly admired their dresses. One of these ladies had her little boy riding with her; what a memory he will have. Best comment of the day: After watching me on my driven-spindle wheel for a while, a man looked at me in amazement and said, "You're really doing that, aren't you?". I said, yes I am. So many people have never seen someone spinning on a wheel, what a great learning opportunity. SD Fiber was well represented on the porch at the Robinson Rose house, even providing a hand spindle lesson to our dear interpreter.
A star is born.
