Lemonade

I am sorry to report that life has handed me some lemons and that I am NOT going to make it to Estes Park for the Wool Market. So for my own good this disappointment needs to be turned around quickly. I've had a minor health issue and just felt like I need to stay home rest up and recuperate. I had a burst of energy this morning and actually felt happy taking care of the bunnies, but tired pretty quickly. When I don't enjoy being with the bunz you know things are bad for me. This was a good sign towards my healing.

It occurs to me that I can whip up an interesting blend of fibers that will appeal to my senses and perhaps console me a little bit. I have my fleeces from my own tiny flock of sheep, not to mention a box full of red satin angora that I have been hoarding. I really like to make exotic blends. Oh and did I mention that I have about 3 lbs of lovely alpaca fleece from Rivendell Alpaca. IF I can talk Charlie into cranking the drum carder and following my directions I know I could sit and spin. My energy comes in fits and spurts so I am pacing myself.

Below is a picture of Chance who generously gave up his fleece for me. The picture was taken by Rena at Rivedell Alpacas. Thanks chance!
