Circle of Life garnered Best in Show today, September 8, 2007 at the 19th Annual Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival. It also won the blue ribbon in the felting category. As you can imagine, I'm very pleased!

Best Woolies

Carol will have a booth at the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival on September 8 and 9, 2007 at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction, VT. This is the second year for Wooliedales Etc. displaying at this festival. Last year, she won first prize in the handcrafted wool product competition.

In preparation for the booth display, we have prepared a slide show that will run continuously on a PC. It contains about 200 photos that show Carol's variety of work over the years

Enjoy!!

Bill The Chimp

This Woolie is a representation of the 60-year old chimp named Bill, one of the oldest in captivity. He was rescued in 1957 at age 10 from a traveling circus and has since spent his life at the Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka, California until his recent death in June. He acquired quite a following of admirers for his paintings and even appeared on the David Letterman Show.

You can read his fascinating story at http://www.sequoiaparkzoo.net/index.htm

Wooliedales Etc. Slide Show

Here's a slide show, courtesy of Photobucket, of some recent Woolies. Some are shown individually in earlier posts.

Rhett...a Feisty Border Terrier

Rhett is loved by his owner in Dallas. My son and his wife had a Border Terrier, Emma, while his boys were growing up in Chicago, Oregon and Vermont. Pound for pound, Borders are as fast and lovable as any dog.
