Not much to report right now. Jerry's been trimming sheep getting them ready for August - Ohio State Fair and the Michigan Fiber Festival in Allegan around the 15th. We'll take the black ewe (Sporty Spice), the new black ram (Othello), and at least a couple of lambs (no names yet!). I'm also planning on entering Othello's fleece and a few skeins of handspun yarn into competition. I really just want to get an idea of how I am doing compared to other spinners.
In the meantime, I'm getting things ready for the first annual Lavender Field Day at the Freckle Bear Lavender Farm in Champaign County (6332 Nine Mile Rd.). There will be all sorts of great foods (including amish baked goods) and crafts. I will have homespun yarn, hand-dyed yarn, hats, scarves, market bags, etc. for sale. I will post some pix over the next couple of weeks to highlight some of the items. We hope to see you there!
