Monday Nov 12th

I don't have pictures, but Sat we visited another Alpaca Ranch not too far from us. Who knew that these Alpaca farms were so close, I figured if you had livestock that would require living outside the city limits but these folks don't.
We are visiting these farms so we can get an idea of what becoming an Alpaca farmer entails. So far it is so doable, and we want to do it. Since we don't have land (yet), we can agist or board our Alpacas at another farm.
I hope to meet with yet another Alpaca farmer soon, who has the most Alpacas in our area and boards all of them, she doesn't have land of her own.
Our long term plan is to buy some land, build a much smaller house, and raise Alpacas.

On another note, I guess my SP has sent a package of Oct, but not sure. I have not received it as yet.

What I did today

We visited this Alpaca ranch not too far from where we live. It was so cool.
She had some great fiber, from roving up to the finished knitted or woven item.

Day to Day

How often we turn minor challenges into monumental barriers by giving them undue attention, forgetting that within any problem lie its solution

I read this on another blog and felt it had meaning not only today but always.

Bad Blogger

I have no excuse except life itself, sometimes the day to day just gets in the way. I have been reading blogs, just not posting on my own.
I have been knitting, and finishing stuff. I am working on a 'Lucy Bag' for my oldest daughter, and finished socks for my youngest daughter.
Here is proof.

Stash

Part of my yarn stash, my goal (not sure when) is to organize ALL my yarn.

Secret Pal goodies

Pictures of what my secret pal sent, my familiy had to try the chocolate bar, so we dove into that first and it was Yum-O.
The yarn is a great wool, it will be perfect for felting. Everything was great. Thanks SP, your the best.





BTW, the placements on the table, I wove several years ago. They last and last and last and last.....

OMG

OMG, I was so excited when I went to get my mail, there was a package, and not just any old package but the one from my SP, and it had a customs label on it which you know what that means, not from within the US. I couldn't wait for my family to be home to watch me open it. SO... I opened it, and there was such cool things inside. I will post a picture later tonight. Thank you, thank you to my secret pal.
