So our youngest son walked up to his sister this morning during school and asked "Do you want to borrow my "ball point pencil"?"
Amazing sunrises and sunset on our little lake here in mid-Michigan have me pulling out my camera more and more. The view is just amazing. I sat last night and watched it as it changed from bright orange to purple and pinks to yellow and grey. I get inspired often from nature and had the idea last night to do some fiber dyeing and see if I can match these amazing colors and patterns. Dyeing has been one of those fiber things that I would love to do more of, but there is definitely a technique to awesome colors and some people do it really well. I am hoping to trying some natural dyes this year using some of the wild berries and plants we have all around us. For now I will be purchasing some fiber dye in hopes of mimicking some of the beautiful colors and patterns.
When we turned this little farm into a "hobby farm" a few years ago we only wanted one thing...for it to at least pay for feed for the animals. Well, it hasn't always done that, and I have often questioned if this is what I was supposed to be spending time and energy on. Just when I think about selling all of my angoras and just being done, God opens doors. My dream for my fiber farm (mainly angora rabbits) was to spin yarn to sell, create things to sell or sell the rabbits. We have done a bit of all of this, but never much. This week I was contact by a designer from New York, who has her own line of angora items. She found me from our local harvest site, and she wants to purchase ALL of the yarn I can get to her to create her line with!!!! This is exactly what I have always wanted (alright, I would rather have my own "line") and wanting to be wife, mom and homeschooler has to come first right now, so this is going to be a perfect fit for me! I sh...
I have mentioned quite often here about Hubby's "side job" in a ministry called Christian Devotions where he hosts a Internet Blog Talk radio show called Speak Up! He has been able to interview and "meet" some very awesome people. He is very good at what he does and has a very good stage presence when it comes to interviewing people. Me, not so much. This is WAY out of my comfort zone. I did help him about a year and a half ago and co-hosted with him, but didn't say too much. Why do I mention all of this? Well I will be stepping WAY out of my comfort zone on November 29, because Scott is going to be interviewing a very dear "bloggy friend" Terry . I know a lot of you know who she is, and the faith walk her and her family have taken the 10 months. I will be joining Scott to interview Terri. I think this interview will have a grand impact on a lot of people and I hope some of you will join us and see where God is leading ...
That really did make me smile, Renee!
