Yes, I'm o.k, but extremely tired. I was up most of the night on Thursday night/Friday morning with Nate due to a stomach bug. Then last night, I did myself the disservice of eatting Mud Pie ice cream, which did my stomach in. I fell asleep at 4 a.m., only to be up at 6 this morning when my husband got up to go to work. Yep, I'm tired. I have an inspection at 10 this morning, then I'm coming home and doing NOTHING (i.e. NO cleaning) for the rest of the day.

Carolyn asked where Wooly Knob Fiber Mill was located. They are out in Indiana, and did a fabulous job with my rovings. I have LOTS of fleeces out in the barn that I'm sending them. I just have to get them together and ship them. I have spent some time this week washing up a white Icelandic fleece that I got from Harry and Jimmie at True North Farm last year. I plan to dye it Cherry Red, and process it with some cherry red angora that will be dyed too. Jimmie just loves this combination, and I want to give him the bulk of what I get back.

I was very excited yesterday to get a copy of the MA Sheep and Wool brochure in the mail. My ad for Bay Colony Farm was in there as a half page ad. O.k, I know this sounds strange, but I've worked really hard for the past few years building up my business, and I finally feel like we are worthy of that ad now. Plus, I will be doing two workshops at the wool fair; the first one on Saturday morning on Care and Grooming of an Angora Rabbit and the second one on Sunday morning of Spinning Angora and Angora Blends. Go to MA Sheep and Wool for more information.

I couldn't agree more about Wooly Knob!! The guys have done a great job with everything I've ever sent them. Reasonable prices and they are just plain ol' fun to chat with on the phone. I send angora to them as well, for blending, and all of it has come back gorgeous! Glad other folks are finding them as well. :)
