Magnolia Blossom Fiber Arts is now a full fledged Fiber Farm. We are living large on our small farm in Goshen, Indiana. The last time I posted was January 2009, and I listed all the changes that would be taking place this year. Well, all of them happened!
Meet Cirrus, our littlest alpaca at Magnolia Blossom Fiber Farm. He is part of a brotherhood of 3, the other two being Maximillion 
and El Vaquero. We moved into our little cottage in March '09, amidst sleet and snow. The bathroom was passable, so I said, "Let's go!" Our home on Nathena Lane was for sale, but is now being rented out. (You gotta roll with the economy.) The alpacas arrived in May, a week after Shearing Day at Turkey Creek Alpacas in Milford, IN. So, the photos are of the fellas undressed, looking pretty dorky.

Matt moved into a house at IU with 3 other fellas, and is now cooking for himself. Yeah, Matt! Our house is pretty small, so when Matt comes home for breaks, he sleeps in his room in the pole barn (not kidding!). He remodeled a room for himself, and it looks pretty cool.
The fiber business is still cranking, even with a down economy. The Johnny Appleseed Festival was a success, with myself and 4 other farms together at one exhibit. I worked on my spinning wheel all day and talked with many visiting folks. It was really fun and very tiring. I have several items for sale at Turkey Creek Alpacas' farm store. There are mittens, sweaters, hat and scarf sets, and a shawl. Look for photos on the next blog. Thanks for tuning in.
