Do you have a passion for making things entirely by hand or appreciate it in other people? In my teens and twenties, I got a thrill out of being my own mechanic on my old '75 Mustang. Yep, I've changed a few water pumps and brake pads. I have sewn every stitch of handmade rag dolls with a needle and thread (no machine stitching), and I prefer to cook from scratch. Isn't it much more rewarding to gather family and friends to put in fence posts, and raise barns? So naturally for me, prepping the fleece, learning to spin, and then making things from the alpacas' luscious fiber is my idea of happiness! -Kaylen

The World is Watching

Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games
The alpacas have to make room for horses in the spotlight this month.  The World Equestrian Games are kicking off this weekend here in Kentucky and everyone is as excited as when college basketball season tips off!  It is a huge international event and this is the first time it has been held here in the US.  Here is a nice article about it.  Look for coverage on NBC stations and you can watch events online, too.  It is hard to say which event is my favorite, but I really like Cross Country and Jumping.  AND one of my favorite singers is performing before it is all over.  Lyle Lovett!
