Well I survived the Gilfeather Turnip festival.  There was a good turnout at the event because it was such a rainy day and people decided to visit the festival. There was turnip soup,turnip muffins,cookies,breads,pies, etc.etc.   Its amazing how many things can be made with turnip.  I like to peel the turnip and eat it like an apple.  The Gilfeather turnip is very sweet and the ones I bought, I will save a couple for Thanksgiving.

   I have packaged up three boxes of moorit (dark brown) Shetland wool to send out to be made into yarn.  I have also put up a box of Columbia/Texel lamb roving for one lady from our fiber of the month club.  Everyone seems to have fun trying different fibers to spin.  October is a Merino/Dorset cross and November is a Finn/Cross.  I enjoy finding farms and getting the fiber to pass on to our club members.

   Our 5th Annual Southern Vermont Fiber Event is really getting close and we are doing really well selling tickets for the raffle.  We will draw the winning tickets the day of the event at 3 p.m. and you don't have to be present to win.  I have more vendors waiting for a space but there's no more room in the Inn!  Next year we will have to move to a bigger facility.  If anyone reading this would like a poster, please contact me and I will e-mail one to you.  I think I really like this blogging business.  Talk to you soon.
