Fiber issue

I'm having a fling buying fleeces ala eBay...going to have plenty to do all winter!!!

Monday, November 10, 2014

more of a start, starting something, getting started, more than started... busy, busy, busy

It is NOVEMBER, omg!

I'm going to actually be posting things here more often, hopefully weekly! ?  Today is going to be the last "door open" day of 2014.  The ARCTIC arrives tomorrow.

OMG I have to find ~500# of pumpkins a home "inside" , they jumped in my pickup 2 weeks ago at the Amish Produce Auction.  It was a 44" Davenport 4 heddle loom, 4 weeks before that!  I'm going to store & can, and try drying (for the bunnies) and of course my Pumpkin Wine.  I'll have plenty of pumpkin carcass' to butcher, just need sugar & bloop, bloop, Co2 starts bubbling out!

Yea, and my cleaned off sewing machine, it's over piled again.   UGGGGG!

Duke has strained another ligament, this time in my R knee :(

Oh yea, and the sheep (no I didn't get sheep) I've been getting fleeces on eBay.  OMG, beautiful, HUGE, STINKY raw fleeces.  Maybe 25?  pffffttttttt....

I'll have to trade off, bottle washing and fleece washing, in my washtub and Maytag wringer washer (no agitator for these processes)  Oh but the wringer should be handy for getting a fleece into the drying process, and the boiler.

How could that face, pull too hard on anyone, "OH LOOK SQUIRREL" !   Never mind! 


I forgot to mention the 10 bushel of black walnuts.  You know they are dual purpose (3x if you count Duke yelling at them)  Let them dry (the husk) whack it off, perfect brown dye, and a wonderful nut!
