Busy busy busy...

It seems like the last couple weeks have flown by! Last weekend I had the fiber festival in Greencastle IN. Sales were really good and I was lucky enough to get an inside booth right next to Debbie, Sharon, and Isis.

I ended up buying about 5lbs of white Cormo and 3lbs of colored Cormo BL cross, and 3lbs of the nicest Shetland I have ever seen, and I traded one rabbit for a light fawn cria alpaca fleece. I have some fawn angora I could have blended with that and it would be oooh so soft.

Today I got all the rabbit poo cleaned up out of the barn and put on the garden. There was quite a bit since I have not cleaned it out since last fall. We should have some nice tomatoes in the garden this year with all that poo! I got the last of my white Cormo in the rinse now and have dyed 1 1/2lbs of white angora today.

This will be used for my next roving and will be blended with several colors of Cormo. I have not totally made up my mind if I want to add glitz to the roving yet or not. It will give it that pow that I am going for with all my oranges but also make it a little girly. Since most spinners are female though it may be a good idea though. Next post I will have pics of all the new critters here on the homestead. I think it was Annette who asked the beginning of the year what all critters I would get this year so stay tuned.... LOL God Bless!
