I’m sorry that I’ve not been on here much. My internet at my apartment in Ames sucks big-time and the past few weekends I haven’t had a lot of time at the farm for stuff on the computer. I promise that I have several posts that I hope to get up this coming weekend with …
In the coming weeks, I am planning on doing something a tiny bit different with the blog. Don’t worry, I plan on still giving you lots of updates on what I am knitting, spinning and crocheting, but I am also going to be giving you a little virtual tour of Iowa. You see, I travel …

A few weeks ago I went to the care facility in Allison, Iowa to do a spinning demonstration. My mom usually goes to this particular care center and gives little talks about the places she has gone to and brings pictures and stuff like that, so I had been here before and kind-of knew the …
So yesterday I got yet another birthday package in the mail! It was from my friend Sarah who lives in Chicago with her 2 adorable (and very active) children and her husband and it contained goodies inside for me! There was a TON of cotton yarn! Oddly enough, that is a kings ransom worth of …
