It’s not ALL work with the farm.  I had a mini-vacation earlier this month to play with fleece.  I had long wanted to learn needle felting from Stacy Dreckhan of Beelighted fiber shop and Artify consignment art store in Zumbrota.  The opportunity presented itself and I made the voyage for a private lesson, no less!  It was great fun and I was quite satisfied with the resulting gnome.  The sheep is, I believe, a product of Nancy Ellison’s daughter, but is something I am interested in emulating.
