Winter is still working on us and won't seem to quit. I am thankful every day I am not having any kids or lambs this spring! My heart goes out to all  those folks who are lambing and kidding in this brutal weather. Somehow life here at the farms seem to stay busy.   I have a new blend back from the carder. It spins up like butter and is such a nice blend I am glad I created a big batch on this one.  Here is a shot of the sample I spun up today.
            I am working on felted bunnies and blue birds these days. I hope to have them in at New Pioneer soon. I have a tray of bluebirds waiting for their  white tummies and  eyes and lots of bunny parts waiting for my attention.
 We have an up coming Spinning For Lace Class  on March 30th. Gail McPike will be teaching this one.  Gail has mastered lace spinning and is now going to share her knowledge with   a few lucky students.   This class starts at 9:00Am and will  run all day in my  in home studio space. This class  is $60.00 and there is a $10.00 materials fee.  We have two slots left  in this one. If anyone is interested or has more questions call me @ 319-643-5873. I HAVE to sing off now and go do chores before the cold gets any worse.
