While on road trip stopped by FAST fiber glass mold graveyard near Sparta, WI.
Near the Mississippi River and La Cross WI on my way westward on I-90 found this little gem of a stop. A bit eerie and fantastic.
Yesterday I visited my parents on their farm in Wisconsin.
It's not really a working farm. My father is retired and they lease their fields to other farmers and grow enough vegetables for themselves. They also have chickens. They also have a creek for fishing on the Nippersink. There is a foot bridge where the grandkids go to fish.
My mom likes the color red.
My brother gave my mom this funky pot last year for Mother's Day.
My sister gave her this chocolate chicken from France.
We had a dinner with family at my parent's farm in Wisconsin. She ordered a Buche de Noel cake which came with candied cranberries on top.
It was delicious!

I also went to a German Christkindlmarket in Chicago.
One shaped like a tear drop hand painted in Austria with a wolf, some rabbits and birds. Another from Germany decorated with pearls.
On Washington Island in Wisconsin, there is a fiber arts school.
They sell many supplies for knitting, quilting, batik dying, and even basket weaving. They have a library and classes as well. Students sell some of their work there too. I hope to take some classes there in 2019!
