WOW its been a long time!!!!

How things have changed since February.... Right now we are one moth away from opening up the fiber mill. So far it has been so exciting. I can't wait. We are suppose to get our first piece of equipment (the pin drafter) in a week or so and then the rest will be built right here on site the end of July. Once we are in the building (next week or so I hope) we will have to make a giant trip to home depot and get lots of supplies. We need to build a picker room, drying racks, shelving and I sure lots of other stuff that we haven't thought of yet. Well I'm going to attempt to attach this to the mill's website.
As for my projects that I have going... I haven't had to much time to work on them. I did finish weaving a blanket for my sister and have been able to spin a bunch of yarn, but I'm not quite sure what I will be doing with it yet. I will post some pics as soon as I get them off the camera (I'm kinda slow when it comes to that).

Life Changes

Today is the day that all the job postings are up here at work. Everyone is going crazy looking for a job and I am here just doodling away. I am not planning on staying here any longer. I can't deal with the one hour commute any more and if the IVF work who is going to hire someone that is pregnant and didn't meet expectations. But this is OK because if I'm pregnant I won't be able to work and if I'm not it will give me the opportunity to start my fiber mill!!! I would so much happier I think if I was working for myself doing something that I love to do. Plus opening the fiber mill I would be able to get an agriculture loan for the building and this would benefit Billy's company as well. I really look forward to this it is just a matter of when it will be.
