Here I go with another blog from Maybelle Farm. I got up early with the lovely time change and went to the barn, moved sheep into portable fencing, stopped to see my daughter Darcy and my grandchildren Rowan and Declan. I went with them last night for Halloween. Rowan was Jessie the cowgirl from "Toy Story" and Declan was a Pumpkin in a very warm, cozy one piece suit. We just went to three of my brothers homes and to my sister's. It was a very nice evening and I even got a popcorn ball from my brother Everett.........yummy!
I had an e-mail from my friend Alison and I called her to come play in all the fiber I have in my new Studio work area! Its soooooo exciting to have so much room to work and to open up each one of my large plastic tubs and just be overjoyed at what I find. Alison picked up her fiber of the month that is the Columbia/texel cross lamb's roving. I also gave her some Perendale,a beautiful chocolate Romney/cross roving, Lupine my beautiful black Montedale/Merino/shetland roving, and several others that I can't remember. Alison also brought over her Ashford spinning wheel and we took a picture of her wheel with a large basket of roving,yarn, knitting needles,ashford carding combs,Cotswold locks and more. This picture will go with a press release for our upcoming 5th Annual Southern Vermont Fiber Festival Sat. Nov 21st. Alison then came to my house and we had lunch. She helped me add our fiber event to Ravelry, as I didn't know how to add it to the groups. Oh,oh I'm in trouble now, so many groups to join and it looks like such fun. Next I worked with my husband putting up fencing to keep the sheep away from the barn where the snow comes off the roof. Late afternoon I got out my dye pot and dyed roving for my vending supply. I'm trying to get things ready for Nov. 21st without waiting until the last minute.....like Nov. 20th! Got to go and work on some needlefelting. Goodnight from Maybelle Mama.
