I've been traveling for the past week and will be on the road again Wednesday but I thought I'd take a minute and post a new note. I'm hoping to be spinning here again in a few minutes and see if I can't finally get some usable yarn all plyed and ready to go. My Hitchhiker wheel is pictured to the left. It's made by The Merlin Tree and I have to call them next week to see when my jumbo flyer and bobbin are going to be mailed out. Not sure what I'll make yet, that's half the fun. I'm still trying to get all of my raw alpaca fiber carded so I can do something with it, whether it be spun, wet felted or needle felted. When I get back from my next trip I have to get some things together for submission to the VAOBA show in October. I'm submitting some prime fiber for the spin-off and maybe some items for the fiber arts. If nothing else I'm going to put some things in the store and see if I can't actually sell something! That would be nice.
The chickens have been released from their cage and allowed to wander the yard. They seem to have figured out where home is and haven't tried to run/fly away. They like it under the bushes we have because there's lots of yummy bugs there. The husband has been cutting back some of our wild blackberry vines and the lower limbs on the bushes so they can get in under them for shade and munchies. The bugs are going to figure out pretty quickly that it's not safe for them any more! That's all for now, the spinning wheel is calling!
