Hi! My name is Elizabeth. I am originally from Minnesota, but currently live on a Naval base in the Chicago suburbs. My husband recently returned from a year long tour in Afghanistan, and we are finally back together again.  We have a 2 year old daughter named Rosemary. I am trying my best to maintain my famrgirl roots here in this city setting! |

Wow, I forgot about that one. The Sheep and Wool Festival has a lot of animals so I think you ladies will enjoy it. Last year they had a lambing area which for city folk like me was amazing!
If you are interested in rug hooking there is a great shop in Waukesha, WI called A Primitive Pasttime, you can check it out online....Have Fun! Karen Olson

We just got here, so se will be here for the next few years at least. I will be sure to make it out there Karen! I went to the Midwest Fiber and Folk Art Fait last weekend. I came back all renewed with new project ideas! I love the show in Minnesota too. That one has more live animals for my little one (and me too!). I may just have to make a trek up to the yarn shop in Kenosha this week. I am still trying to learn all the great places in my new surroundings. |

Hi Elizabeth,
How's the family? Isn't it great to be able to say "We're all fine"! Anywho will you be staying in northern Illinois or moving out of the area? I just wanted to pass along the dates for the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival in Jefferson WI. I know you don't have sheep yet but if you need wool (for knitting,hooking or what ever) or just a day in the country petting sheep you and your family might like this opportunity. It is coming up on September 10th - 12th. FYI there is usually a Charter Bus group that leaves from Fiddlehead Yarn Shop in Kenosha. Maybe I'll get to meet you there! Karen O.
