Fun Sunday

Hubby and I took the two youngest to North Star Alpaca farm to meet Maple and her herd of alpaca. We had such a wonderful time, and Maple was the SWEETEST lady! We left with hugs and promised that her and I would get together to just spin and talk fiber soon. The kids got to go out and feed her alpacas and B. got to lead one around in the pasture, with her knowledge of horses she was a natural at it. J. had to be "bribed" to go, but loved it when we got there. Her barn was cleaner that our house, we were so impressed. She gave me alot of help on getting my yarn business going. Of course I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures! but we will be going back there soon.

Garden

This hot weather we have had most of the summer has caused our garden to explode!! Last year we had nothing in the garden due to a June rainstorm that dropped 5-6 inches in about two hours. So we have been out picking and I have already frozen beans, and canned pickles and it looks like just the beginning!

And the Winner is.....

Our Crazy Farm!!! Yea! I will get your hat to you in the mail this next week! Thank you to everyone who signed up. Keep checking back, I will do another giveaway this fall again.

GIVEAWAY!!!!

I am doing a "Christmas in July Heatwave Giveaway" I think most of the nation is in the middle of a heatwave right now, although in Michigan we did have a cold front move through. We are in the mid-eighties instead of the nineties!!! I have been wanting to get some more traffic to my blog and yarn/angora shop for some time now. I have been doing some research and decided the best way to start is with a giveaway. Everyone loves to get free stuff, even if it is an Angora stocking cap that is seven times warmer than wool! So from now until next Friday, July 16, leave a comment for me on this post and we will pick the winner next Friday! You will get this 100% hand-spun, hand-dyed knitted stocking cap:

I Got an Article Published!!!

With Hubby working for Christian Devotions Ministries I have be able to get a piece published on their kids site www.devokids.com Go to Devo Kids and click on the "nature" button. You will be able to see one of our English Angora rabbits and learn a little about the rabbits and see what we do with them. There will also be a project coming up on there also about how to dye yarn with Kool-aid that you can try with your kids.

Blogging here now

I am in the procees of getting our farm "business" up and going a little bit more this summer. Over the years I have toyed with names of our farm and blog. Tail Spin Farm has become the one we are using on all of our stuff so I will be switching over and blogging here now: www.tailspinfarm.blogspot.com Please change this in your links.
