Just a quick note...I still have mountains of fabric left that I will never use. It is 100% cotton quilting fabric and still on the bolt. I am cutting fat quarters and am bundling up seven for the price of five. For any two or more bundles ordered, I will throw in a half meter cut of 100% cotton broadcloth. Contact me and I will invoice you through PayPal. Each bundle is $23.00 which includes shipping and handling.
I am needing to make room for my spinning wheel which I will be purchasing soon. I will have alpaca yarn and fleece available in the not too distant future. I will be bringing our alpaca herd home early next month, and will be able to start working with the fiber shortly thereafter. I will post links to my alpaca blog when I have it up and running.
Have a great day!

Alpacas & Horses
It has been several weeks since I posted on this Blog; I have some news! We are getting a small herd of alpacas
in less than a month! We will be bringing them home after 4H is finished for the year. My daughter is unsure if she will be joining again next year. The alpacas will be so much easier for her and I to handle than the calves.
I let our horses
out of their pen today so they could graze on the nice green grass around the yard. It was quite funny, because the one kept looking toward the corral at the calves. I don't think he could quite figure out what they were. The pens are on opposite ends of the yard, so they don't see each other much, if at all.
I will not be sad to see the calves go...well, perhaps a little. I had an argument with the pen mate today, and he almost won. Okay, he did win...I would have fought harder, but he was trying to destroy my corral. Posts should not make cracking sounds! Tomorrow a good friend comes over and we try to get a halter on...again...and see how well he can be led. Hopefully it goes well!
I cannot wait to get the alpacas home...and to start working with them and making yarn
and other things out of their fleece. I will be on the lookout for a spinning wheel
so I can spin my own yarn...I have watched videos on YouTube and it doesn't look difficult at all. It will be a very interesting and profitable experience.
