Attention Hand Spinners - Free Fiber 2 Trade (Chesterfield - 23832)
Reply to: sale-721675334@craigslist.orgDate: 2008-06-16, 1:07PM EDTWe're a small alpaca farm located in Chesterfield. We've been unable to process much of our annual alpaca fiber. If you're a spinner, you KNOW how awesome this stuff is and how expensive it can be to get ahold of it! Especially prime blanket and cria fiber - which we have on hand! Would like to have a spinning demonstration, a dry felting demo and a wet felting demo for a farm event we're hosting in late September. Need someone to do the demo and want several samples on hand, perhaps some yarn or even felted products. Also interested in just having our quantities cleaned and skirted for larger production projects. Plan to have roving and batting for the open house too, but it needs to be sent off. We don't mill or spin here ourselves. If you want to consider trading service & production for some prime fiber, please contact. Open to letting you sell products, free advertising with ours and perhaps even entering shows if you're interested. Let's talk!

Grandbabies and grandpuppies
Here are the promised pictures of the newest grandbaby and the grandpuppies. I think you can tell which is which, but just in case the grandbaby is the pink one...

I also have a prayer request. Hannah, my youngest, is having problems with her pregnancy. Her amniotic fluid is low. Luckily she is not leaking fluid, so it means the baby is not excreting enough fluid. This can cause all kinds of serious problems, if it is not resolved. She will be having a visit with a specialist on Monday. Pray please that the problem will be resolved on it's own. She is very young to be a mommy and very scared.

More than Puppies
Olivia-Lee has more than Puppies.
I have a brand new granddaughter, Addison Renee Martin, 5lb 10 oz and 19 inches. A perfect tiny pink bundle. Nursing like a champ. Mom and baby are doing fine. Dad claims to be exhausted.
She was just a few days early so the size is just her size. My first was about that size and is still petit, but my smallest adult daughter weighed in at 8 lbs when she was born.
Pepper and the puppies are doing very well also. They have grown considerably already. She has gotten over telling Rascal she is going to eat his face if he comes near them, but she still won't let him nuzzle them. He gets to do that when she goes out to piddle. She doesn't realize he has raised 3 litters of kittens so far and knows how to handle them better than he does.

ARTs
Olivia-lee has grandpuppies! Their American Rat Terrier Pepper had five puppies on Monday - congrats to the whole Nuckols family!! (oh, and good job, Rascal)
Spinning Lessons
I will be offering free spinning lessons to our fledgling weaving/spinning guild starting in July. The Northern Neck Spinners and Weavers are located in Heathsville, Virginia and we will be meeting the 2nd Sunday afternoon of each month from 2 pm. until 4 p.m. (to start).
The first month is an introduction to spinning on a drop spindle. Second month is various ways to ply using a drop spindle. Third month we bring out the wheels. Fourth month is specialty fibers. Fifth lesson will be fiber preparation (from raw fleece to finished yarn). After that we hope to have lessons on Inkle weaving, various ways to warp a loom, guest lectures and eventually we want to install ourselves in a studio where we can have the public come and sign up for classes.

2008 Virginia Garlic Festival
I don't remember who I mentioned this to (and it might have been Saturday after the funeral), but here is some info about the upcoming Garlic Festival here in Virginia.
Rustic Tarts & Old Farts Gathering
The First Annual Rustic Tarts & Old Farts Hoot 'n Holler took place this past Sunday. If you'd like to get an abbreviated version of all the fun we had, please visit my blog.
I'm so sorry Cat and Olivia couldn't make it, although I certainly understood. Plus, I got a couple of the plants MMario had earmarked for Olivia, so THAT'S a happy. LOL

I need riders from South or Central Virginia for Rustic Tarts and Old Farts. I will be leaving my house about 11:00. I must teach SS that morning ...It is a very important and timely lesson that I don't want to leave to a substitute. I have kindly been offered to ride with Eugenia, but I am bring home a bunny and a plant and so I need to drive my own car. It a Camry and is comfortable and gets good milage. I just need some company on the trip. About 2 hours 40 from here... We are only abut 12 miles off of I-95 at Kings Dominion...I can leave one of several ways to get there if you need to be picked up...
