Baby Bunny Update

It has been a very warm and calm winter here so tending to the alpacas has been relatively routine. Most of our excitement has been around the baby bunnies. They are five weeks old now and getting so big!  One has blue eyes!

The ears are starting to flop.  

I think Dad must have been fuzzy!

Quite a change in such a short time, right?!  

More Bunnies

We had a beautiful holiday season and an especially blessed Christmas.  I hope you did, too.  One of our joys was the chance to rescue a rabbit from a difficult hoarding/puppy mill situation.  There were over 200 animals of which 54 were bunnies.  I was only in a position to take one with our pet load a bit high.  However, volunteers who helped at the rescue site mixed boy bunnies with girl bunnies.  You know what that means!

Fingerless Gloves and Yoga Socks

After numerous requests I finally put yoga socks 

and fingerless gloves in the Etsy shop. 

Now if I could just take a moment to make some for myself!  :)  

Dye-In

Recently the spinning group I am part of had a Dye-in.  What a great time playing with color with such a fabulous group of people, a beautiful day, and the perfect setting. Here is a link to the group's blog - A Day of Dyeing and Spinning. 

There was a lot of fancy dying, and I was a bit embarrassed to bring my tiny attempt at color-making with Kool-Aid!  You might remember my first attempts:  Kool! and Valenine Hearts. I should have known that most of the ladies had done it before and would be completely supportive!  

Here is what I started out with.  Teddy's roving. 

This is the mess that came out!

This is after spinning!

Another friend decided to give her yarn a dunk.

Some of the pretty projects. 

Here are a couple of things I've made with Kool-Aid dyed yarn.

Yes, the color is permanent, and yes I need to try something 

other than Black Cherry! 

If you'd like to try it yourself, I used this tutorial:
