Etsy brings me to some of the most talented folks around and I hope you will take the time to visit with her. Give her a warm country welcome.......

Do you have a Llama?

I know not everyone can have a llama put I found a way for even those in the city to have their very own. This airbrushed head shot is perfect - no feed, no poop pick up, and training but I do admit no kisses. You can't have everything but no one has one like this.

COOL BREEZES

Many years ago when my husband and I went to the Caribbean Islands I took back the colors deep inside of me. This silk chenille yarn is flat and holds such sheen that when I place this yarn in my dyeworks studio I am always amazed when I am done. The colors remind me of the soft breeze, cool waves crashing into the rock and the peace one feels in that tropical paradise. Now that the heat is here we all have to find ways of cooling us down without spending a dime on gas.

Not your ordinary nest

I finally received from the mill a special roving that was the cooperation of a couple of us farmgals. I took my English Angora Bunny Fur that I have been stockpiling and a couple of my sheep friends donated their whites, softest Merino Lamb fleece they had last year. We sent it to a mill that is trying to get a start and I worked with them to get it just right -WOW we did it. This is FANTASTIC - and I admit it the moment I received the huge box I had to sit down and spin some - we did it - DREAMY......

Mint Icecream

I found the perfect way to beat the heat - my special blended fibers called Mint Icecream - 50% silk, 25% alpaca, and 25% mohair. The best part of this creation is you do not have to worry that it will add extra pounds to your waist or will melt in the car while trying to get home from the store. This cold creation will melt thru your fingers with unbelievable ease. Beat the HEAT - get your hands on my newest blend.

BABY CAMEL DOWN

Folks always ask me what do you do with your nights? Well, I have been working on getting this Baby Camel Down ready for the world. A friend of mine by a strange turn of stories ended up 8 years ago with a breeding pair of Camels. I have worked with him over the years teaching him all that I knew about the care and training of them. For that he has given me each year the offsprings fiber. The problem is they shed it and made a big mess of what little they grow - so that means weeks of hand picking to get the coarse guard hairs out and then the vegetable matter. Once I have it spotless then I wash it in earth friend hand made soap, dry in the sunshine and the finished fiber is breath taking - MARVELOUS!!!

You can get you hands on the lovely fiber at my etsy shop www.larkspurfunnyfarm.etsy.com or contact me thru ggerberlff@aol.com.
You will drull all over it but please don't I worked to hard to make it perfect.

How's your garden?

Mishka just loves sitting under the Pinon when the heat climbs high in the sky. A nibble here and there is just what she loves. Some might ask her to leave but look at that face - I ask you - what is a couple of nibbles between good friends?
