Its me again, back to do another blog. Well, there are three more days until the 5th Annual Southern Vermont Fiber Event in Brattleboro, VT. I am frantically working to get everything ready. I'm packaging up roving,needle felting kits,labeling yarn, pricing items,and the list goes on and on. It is such a lot of work but everyone has a great time. I'm very excited about this years raffle and hope we sell a lot of tickets.
I got a phone call on Sunday from someone looking for a ram. He is in Connecticut and has 7 ewes. I gave him a list of names and hopefully he will find a nice,good tempered ram. Its a lot of fun writing to other sheep people and comparing notes. I ordered some roving from a farm in New York state for our fiber of the month club. The package arrived yesterday and its just beautiful finn/cross roving in several shades. Its so soft and creamy that it makes me drool just to hold it in my hands. I can't wait to spin some of it. Amy told me I could pick out whichever color or colors I would like. We wrote back and forth several time yesterday afternoon and evening. I went to her web site and fell in love with her finn sheep. So of course, I asked her "Do you ever sell any of your sheep"? She wrote back that she had a 7 month old lamb named Jonie that she had to sell or she would go for meat............Now, do you think I could let that happen? I wrote back as fast as my fingers could type. "Oh please,don't send her for meat. Please let me buy her"! Well in December, I will be making a trip to outside of Albany, N.Y. to meet Amy and bring Jonie Jump Up home to Maybelle Farm! I'm sooooo excited as she is 7/8 finn and 1/8 cheviot. She has beautiful crimpy black fleece and I can't wait to get her here. She was born May 4th,2009 just 4 days after my little Juliette. Juliette is a coopworth/shetland cross and so she will have a playmate with Jonie coming to the farm. Got to stop writing and go work on more things for the fiber event.
