I am telling you, one loom will lead to more... we are up to 4 floor looms and have projects going on all of them (Wool, Cotton, Rayon, and Upholstery Selvedge). Love my rugs made with Upholstery Selvedge... I am now looking for a sturdy 2 harness Union Loom to become my permanent "Rug" loom... As long as you are making room for a loom, you better clear space for two... : ) I am so glad I got to see you at Fiber Fest!!!

Although after reading about the farms new mascot and how she came to hold that title.....well, I'm not saying cats will become my new pet but I can certainly see how you could easily come to love and care for the two sisters! The funny this is; I read the blog early a.m. while sipping my first cup of coffee. When I first laid eyes on Snow Flower's picture, I thought something must be wrong with my eyes or I am not awake yet 'cause she wasn't looking just right! For a split second I thought, it's a little to early but that's when I am most energetic so I had to revisit that quickly. She's a doll and what a nice home she will have to live her days out at. Welcome Snow Flower! I too have never been one to that holds a love for cats.

His sire, Jack, would turn up once a week in the barn to eat and be made over. Then one day Jack brought a lady friend, who promptly had kittens. We could never get close to her, but eventually live trapped 2 of the 4 kittens. The others were hit on the road. We kept them in a kennel to tame them. Monkey got his name for his ability to hang from the top wires of the kennel and swing. Although the other kitten, Fred, eventually disappeared - we think coyote got him - Monkey has settled in and made the barn his home. He is a very affectionate cat like his father, Jack.
