Hello Fiber Arts Friday Fans. This week will be a quick one. Usually I write up my posts days in advance but I’m late this week and scrambling to get one up. Last weekend my mom, hubby and I packed into the car and took a trip down to Autumn Mist Fiber Mill to pick [...] I’m not sure why but I have a thing for shawls at the moment. One thing I’ve learned is never pass up motivation! At first I decided this next project would be for ME. But as I started working on the shawl with yarn I bought by ME for ME I realized it’s not what [...] I have been slacking in my fiber duties as of late but this past weekend brought me back into the swing of things.

No more falls! Carabineers or Safety Snaps – I can never have enough [...] Hi Fiber Arts Friday and Crafty Friday folks. Ugh, the “day job” has had me very busy this week leaving me little time to enjoy my farm and all the animals let alone fiber arts. So, here are some teaser photos of the project I have on the “secret loom.” Ok, now that you have [...] Are you looking to get into alpacas but are still waiting for the “right time.” Well the best time to buy is at the end of the calendar year! Why? Thanks to the economic stimulus plan, the Section 179 tax incentive has been extended until 12/31/10! Which means you can purchase your alpacas now and [...] |
