2008 Talbot County Fair Rabbit/Cavy Show

My amazingly perfect family took our little Chi Chi to the 25th Annual Talbot County Rabbit and Cavy Show today. Great success was had by all who entered, but more importantly, we learned TONS! We met so many nice people and some very interesting rabbits that we are considered. So rather than bore you with lots of literal details, I'll share some of the photos. Enjoy!

Now that the fun is over, time to get back to spinning!!!!

HOORAY - ETSY FOR ANIMALS!

I just found out about an organization called Etsy For Animals. They are a group of sellers on etsy.com who have agreed to help raise money for animals in need. They choose a charity of the month, and allow sellers to promote charities and rescues dear to their hearts. What a great way to help! Since I've always rescued animals myself, this is something I can really get into!

I thought I'd take this time to mention two animal organizations I rather admire:

Days End Farm Horse Rescue
"Protection for Horses.....Education for People"
(http://www.defhr.org/)


Golden Retriever Rescue of Southern Maryland
"All volunteer organization dedicated to finding homes for golden retrievers in need in St. Mary's, Calvert and Charles counties."
(http://www.goldenretrieverrescueofsouthernmaryland.org/)

Check them out, and search the web for animals that interest you; odds are, there is a rescue organization that could use you!

No More Baby Bunnies...Happy 4th!

Well, sadder than I thought it would be, the last of the baby bunnies has been sold. Why did I think it would be easy? Did you see the posts were I said they were cute, I really meant it!

A Cold Winter's Day (100% Alpaca Roving)

In fiber news, hmm, nothing is really new. Summer has been riveted with activity. My husband is busy building a barn, and with the fourth of July upon us, the family is whirling with plans.

Spinning some, ordering more fiber to replace my custom orders that flew out (nothing like word of mouth). Having a ball! Summer is here - and I'm loving it!!!
