Monday, January 26, 2015 It felt almost springlike here yesterday! And it looks like today will be a repeat. Weather like this makes it very conducive to sitting in the pasture looking for movement in the pregnant moms bellies. 🙂 … Continued
Sunday, January 25, 2015 After a few pretty busy days here I declare today is for resting! 🙂 Some days it’s good to be the boss. LOL Since my house is still filled with the spinning wheels and fiber from … Continued
Saturday, January 24, 2015 Today I am teaching a class on learning to spin your own yarn. Personally, I think everyone should know how to spin yarn! It’s fun, it’s relaxing, and when you own alpacas it’s pretty important. 🙂 … Continued
