Check out my new shop Pumpkin Creek Hats here http://www.etsy.com/shop/pumpkincreekhats. Most of my hats are made with yarn that I have hand-dyed and hand-spun but there are also some wonderful Acrylic's in there too that are Made in the U.S.A.

Unique and Fun! I have to say that the new shop gives me soooo much Joy!!

Hopefully this will explain where I've been lately LOL! Busy, Busy, Busy!!! And the boys are definately a handful also. We'll have to see if I can manage a few posts about what is happening here on the Farm!! A wonderful fiber friend of mine told me the other day "Your life sounds like so much fun! You should Blog about it!) ROFL I told her I had a Blog just could never find the time to get over here and Post!! So I promise to try and do better!

Beautiful sheets of red with green greated me at one point in the sorting process and I just had to stop and play with them. I combined them with some pretty red and green angelina and carded them several times to blend. Spun two sets of singles and then plied them to get this wonderful yarn. So you have wonderful wool/mohair blend with some shimmer! Yarn Specs. 4 oz., 9-10 wpi, 150 yards.

Hope you enjoyed My little Tour De Mill Ends!

Waiting in The Wings

Here is yet another look at what is waiting to go into the shop. I did manage to get a few items listed yesterday and so my rack doesn't look quite as full. I'm not sure what I will get accomplished this week but going to work hard over the next couple of weeks trying to get prepared for July! I have a special story that I want to share with my fiber friends but I'm still working on it so stay tuned LOL

I was having so much fun taking pictures outside last week and now we have the Yucky Cloudy weather again. And the puppies took off with my little blanket I had been placing under my yarns and batts. Little stinkers!! Well it's washed and ready to go as soon as the weather allows. So hopefully I get to have some more picture fun soon!

As for now though it's time to get back to my fiber Den and get some work done before the house full of Boys begins to awaken. Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
