What a fantastic weekend!
\nThe exhibition went wonderfully well, and was a huge success as far as we were concerned.
\nIt all started on Friday morning, with the job of setting up. Emily was sent off to take pictures.
\nAll these piles (and more) needed to be arranged into effective and pleasing displays of our work. (All can be clicked for bigger)
\n

\nApparently we knit a lot<\/em>.
\nThis is Ailsa<\/a>, Becky<\/a> and I doing some last minute cataloging in the midst of it all.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nHere’s me, doing what I do best, sitting on my butt drinking coffee.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nCharmaine, Ailsa, Sharon and Ailsa’s mum deep in discussion.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAilsa’s mum was a wonder. She isn’t a knitter, doesn’t understand all the knitting, and only came to pick up Blair, Ailsa’s daughter. We roped her into helping arrange things, and she did a great job!
\nAilsa’s husband refuses to believe she does any cleaning. To prove him wrong, here’s a picture of Ailsa vacuuming. Sorry it’s blurry, I think I may have been laughing.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nIn much the same vein, here’s Emily mopping. Ailsa asked for someone to mop, and Em jumped up and said “I love to mop!” I’d like to point out that if it had been me asking it would never have happened, and prior to this, she’d never mopped in her life<\/em>!
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAnd here’s Sharon<\/a>, (not having a baby on opening day this year!) an hour before opening, running around playing with her new toy, the electronic labeller.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nHere are the shawls.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nNursery corner.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe ladies’ dressing table.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nTea Party.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSharon’s girls, and Zena’s tiny sweaters.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAnd the scarf wall.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nDidn’t it all look great?
\nI didn’t make it back to the exhibition itself until Sunday afternoon, where I sadly just missed out on meeting Corrie<\/a>. I did get to meet she of the red shoes<\/a>, though!
\nWe had a great afternoon sitting in the sun.
\nAilsa and Donni<\/a> spun.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nTianne<\/a> and I knit, and Em and Blair ate.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nIt’s possibly the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon, with a glass of wine, great company and knitting in the sun! The rain came, but only in the last hour or so, and then it was all over far too quickly.
\nSetting up the exhibition took all day Friday, pulling it down took around an hour yesterday afternoon.
\nMuch kudos to Ailsa, who worked tirelessly to get it off the ground (and got her picture in the paper for her efforts!) Sad goodbyes to blogless (for now) SnB’er Charmaine, who is leaving us for the United Arab Emirates for three years.
\nPlans for next year’s exhibition are already underway, planned for the last weekend of April, I think.
\nI’ve been really slack about Saturday skies of late, but here is the Sunday sky Em and I saw on our way home yesterday.
