I just got back from the 2015 Bishop Hill Spin In. I want to thank Juliana, Gail and Gaylene for all the help on Saturday. I do not know what I would do without all the great help. Juliana won best of show for her lace shawl, and Gail won best skein once again for her amazing lace.  I am so  lucky to be surrounded by such talented people.
         I had my new green purple blend for this show and will also have it for Shepherds Market at the Amana Woolen Mill on Nov 14th.  I am calling this one "Lilacs in the Vineyard" It is a blend of Blueface , Coopworth, yearling mohair, silk and Angelina.
     



 I have a large list of fall clean up and winter prep tasks, but I  am glad things will be slowing down a bit soon. I will be doing the Johnson County Fairgrounds Winter Farmers Market. I will have lots of felted creations, natural dyed silk scarves,  hand woven items and all my herbal body products.  I am off to put windows back in the chicken house for the coming winter. Hope to see you soon at the store or the market.
