It is that time of year! The hay has been cut once and is stored in the hay loft of our little barn. Our goats are grazing and growing lots of beautiful fiber. I am dying yarn like crazy! Today’s color is honey mustard for some of our lace weight blended mohair!
Finally a BIG snow storm!
It’s true. This week the weather has been glorious with temperatures reaching into the 70’s. No one is complaining – not Jim or I or our animals!
Oh – we have more animals – 8 alpacas have been added to our flock.
Bacca, Casper, Richard, Sapphron, Daisy, Tansy, Oreo, and Reese – we need to get name tags! They join Dorito, M&M and Telemark. Sadly we lost Dazzle a bit ago. We have LOTS of fiber!
Sadly, our dear, Zeke – the original yellow dog is slowing down greatly. He still manages to get down to the barn, but often gets confused on the way back. He is one great dog!
Hope your fall is as beautiful as ours!

Jim and I had a grand time at the Craft Vermont, 2014 show sponsored by Vermont Hand Crafters. It was held the weekend before thanksgiving at the Sheraton in Burlington. Amazing artists all around – and stupendous customers! Can’t wait ’til next year!
…and we know what that means! Getting ready for Sheep and Wool Festivals and Craft Shows! Jim has been making mountains of wood shavings. I can see 4 brand new completed yarn bowls from where I am sitting. Gorgeous! And I have been dying lots of yarn in new colors! I am loving the Intense Iris! – not sure there will be any left to sell. Sorry!
