So glad you are on the mend and that you are going to have a full house for your monthly fiber play day. I look forward to learning more about your 18th century recipes! Take care.
Hope all goes well with the shearing. Love have a box to do a faceplant in and enjoy the softness.
Have been working on the fleece I forgot I bought from you. All washed and dried. Now fluffing it up and opening the tops before I card. I have a small wool picker but know that the fibers are too delicate and small to handle that, so it is hand fluffing. Not a bad TV watching activity, and I can eat while doing it!
Sorry about the flu, it is brutal. Hope you have recovered and Michael is on the mend.
I adore you, and love BUYING your top. This is a lot of work! And basically, I am a lazy spinner. But it does make me appreciate what goes into creating spun yarn. Going to get it fluffed, or at least a large amount done and have my grandsons help me crank the carder. Like Tom Sawyer and painting the fence, I will convince them how fun this is, and 'maybe' let them try it if they really want to do it. Begging is going to be mandatory for this to work!
Wishing you to stay safe and the farm to be out of harms way during fire season. Here in Portugal it's also a dreaded time of year, and it's one reason I don't enjoy Summers that much... All the best!
Wishing you the very best for the fiber show. Good to know you are recovering.
Thank you!
Loved this update. Miss Lucy is looking so pretty in the snow! Glad you are feeling better.
Thank you!

most excellent plan!!
You had me on Monty Python’s image. Saving to read tomorrow! 😅
Enjoy!
Nice to discover your Substack! We’re here on just 1/4-acre in the city, but you’d be surprised at all we can do in the space.
Wonderful!!
