Fiber Festival

One more detour today from my apple recipes. Yesterday, I went with my friend to the Southern Indiana Fiber Festival in Corydon, Indiana. We had so much fun there. We were able to find accommodations for our children for the day so it was just the two of us. I loved having the day without children. I firmly believe that we all need that break sometime to be better parents and spouses.

My friend owns fiber animals and crafts with their fiber. She taught me many of the techniques and I find I really enjoy doing them. Yesterday, we stocked up on supplies. I have been trying to buy my product locally from individuals. My goal is to have enough product made to try my hand at some craft fairs starting in the spring. I have done a couple with my friend so I know that I enjoy this plus can sell things. I was up to 12:30 last night working of projects with my new fiber and toys. I will let you know how it goes.

In addition, it looks like I may have solved our chicken problem (we are down to two). The same people my friend has bought goats from also has chickens for sale. They are about four months old and are a mix of Buff Orpington and Rhode Island Red. We should have them in a couple of weeks.

Hope you are having a good day!
