It’s coming down to the end of Spring around here. Let me update you on what has been going on at the farm. Early Spring brought us the joys of lamb and kid births. So many little ones making it exciting and a little confusing too. We almost lost one of our ewes at lambing. [...]

I had to share the photo I received from one of our customers. She had purchased this Alpaca yarn from us and made these gloriously warm mittens. Don’t ya just love it when you have the opportunity to see the end result of a yarn that you’ve produced! With all of the snow and cold [...]
Rain & Sog – Enough of A Good Thing!

As we are all learning..too much rain (and in some cases snow) is becoming “enough of a good thing”. After our major down pouring of Tuesday evening our farm could easily become a “rice patty”. There isn’t a square inch of this property that isn’t sog. I’ve actually had to milk the goats outside for [...]
Successes

I’m sitting here looking out the window at yet another rainy day thinking how wonderful it would be if it would rain like this in the Spring and Summer when crops are in the ground, or better yet..why isn’t it snow? Today is my birthday and over the last 53 years, it has actually snowed [...]
Truly Sheep To Shawl
Posted in fiber, Fiber Arts Friday, sheep, spinning, yarn, tagged Fiber Arts Friday, goat's milk soap, knitting, lotion, sheep on November 13, 2009 | 4 Comments »
We have several sheep that are a very light shade of gray and I love to over-dye gray wool, so I found a pattern for a shawl that I really liked (wish I could share the pattern with you but I can’t seem to find it!) and decided that I would do an honest to [...]
Cria Fleece Is No Good..I Don’t Think So!
Posted in Alpacas, fiber, Fiber Arts Friday, sheep, spinning, Uncategorized, yarn, tagged Alpacas, Fiber Arts Friday, sheep on November 6, 2009 | 4 Comments »
My post today for Fiber Arts Friday is somewhat boring and possibly a little educational. A few weeks ago, someone, somewhere mentioned on Twitter, I think, that rumor has it – cria fleece isn’t really good for much. At the time I responded that this simply isn’t true so I thought I would use my [...]

What I’ve done today is exclusive to Fiber Arts Friday. Many of you who read my Blog have already met my “New Old Girl” but for those who have not, here she is: I got her last weekend at the Fall Fiber Festival. She is a “Mystery Wheel” with no markings of any kind. We [...]

Yesterday we decided a day off from everything was necessary for mental and physical health. We got up early, took care of the livestock and headed for Montpelier in Orange county, VA, to the Fall Fiber Festival & Sheepdog Trials. What a beautiful day! We still can’t believe how clear the air was . It [...]
