I have been busy trying to unpack new fall/winter yarns. Some of the new yarns arriving are:Malibrigo, Misty Alpaca Chunky handpaints, Deb McComber sock yarn(this is the most scrumptious super soft yarn I have ever seen!!!), Knit 1Crochet2, TyDy wool and new colors in the TyDy-Sock collection, Manos Del Uruguay silk/wool, new colors in Kaffe Fasset Colourscape. Come check out the clearance section of the shop! There are a lot of really nice yarns available!

For the winter season of classes i will repeat the summer schedule. If there is a class or something you would like to learn how to do, simply give me a call and we will schedule a class for you. If there are several of your friends who would like to do the same things or just want a day of fun, give me a call or email. 5 or more and you will receive your class fee free.

Well, stay dry and hang onto your hats and umbrellas today and stay safe! I will try to update my blog sooner! A lot of new things happened over summer and very busy times!

LLAMA SHEARING DAYS/OPEN HOUSE

Good morning everyone! It is really going to be a gorgeous weekend for shearing days!! Weather will be perfect for a day on the farm. We will also have a campfire-brat fry to benefit Hannah's mission trip to Kenya(this will be only on Friday and Saturday). The fry will be until 6:00 both Friday & Saturday. We hope you can come and enjoy the day with us! Kris will also be here with a couple of her angora goats (a mom & kid) and her awesome yarn and fiber!

No place like home

I don't exactly know what to title this post-maybe after I finish i will think of an appropriate one.

Yesterday Mark put up a new fence for the llamas that had luscious grass over a foot high. The boys have been lusting over it and trying to get out of their pasture (and sometimes succeeding) to get there. We haltered them all and brought them to their new "home" for a few hours (actually thought maybe a couple of days). Well............didn't take that long-maybe 3-4 hours one of them got their head stuck and pulled out the stakes to get out. We finally decided that it wasn't going to work to leave them there so we opened up their gate (to their home) and let 2 of them run down the driveway without halters on and they ran right into their own "home" pasture we let the remainder run and they followed right into their "home" pasture. :-) It made us smile.



moral of the story: even though we think life is better and more satisfying somewhere else....there is no place like home.

Guess I never would have realized how much we can learn about life from watching and caring for animals.

Newsletter

I am sooooo trying to upload my newsletter to my blog. The last time I had my computer reformatted the PDF program part of it was deleted so now am having a hard time finding something that works with every ones computer :-( . And OF COURSE, my internet service is the slowest in the world! Hopefully it will work out real soon. If anyone is interested in receiving my newsletter via email, please let me know and I will send in out.

NEWSLETTER, OPEN HOUSE, CLASSES

I promise that I WILL have my newsletter completed and posted by Monday!
Just a reminder that open house/shearing days will be May 27. 28. 29 from 10-5. This year in addition to the open house we will also have a campfire/brat fry to help Hannah (daughter-in-law) raise support for her mission trip to Kenya. If you would like more information as to what Hannah and the team will do while there go to www.wpff.com .

We are praying for perfect weather -well, hopefully dry :-). It is so awesome to see the flowers and green grass. It is fun watching the birds carry off pieces of llama fiber for nest building. I can't wait for the grosbeak to migrate thru the area and the hummingbirds and blue birds!! I love spring!!

I am working on some one day classes for vacationers in the area. So if you are vacationing in Sheboygan Co. and would like a project to do on the loom, needle felt, or knit that would only take a couple of hours to 6 hours to complete, give me a call.

have a great day!
