A fairly large group of us spent a lovely morning at Anne Marie's peaceful farm.  She is probably only a few miles from me as the crow flies but with the hills and coulee's it was a considerably longer drive. I'm always amazed that she manages to get down from that ridge in the winter. [...]

I can't think of a better way to spend a "when will it ever be spring" day than surrounded by my fiber friends.  I think everyone felt the same as we had a larger than average group, brave an iffy driving day after a snowfall overnight.  Lots of us have treacherous driveways and I know [...]

The Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival took place this year (yeah) and with The Driftless Art fair not happening (sad), a friend and I took off, to spend a day with all things wooly. I have done this fair as a vendor for many years and this was the first time I could just galavant [...]

sheep shearing at Rachel’s

Rachel invited our fiber group to meet at her family's house to watch her small flock of sheep be sheared.  Some of use couldn't resist getting our fingers right into that beautiful wool.  I am sure there is a lot of joy in raising their children with the experience of caring for the cattle, sheep [...]

Our weavers meeting this month was at Bonnie's house with the enticing invite to see her winter lambs.  It was great to see Bonnie again and share her hospitality and I never pass up a chance to see babies of any kind. Check out Pine Knob Organics on instagram for some truly inspired photography of the [...]

Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival

All my dyeing was not for naught.  (That just sounded too Shakespearean to not say.)  Nan and I had a very successful and tiring  3 days of total immersion in everything sheepy.  Nan even got to see a lamb being born with some assistance from the shepherd.  I saw a set of quadruplets shortly after [...]
