Buying yarn

Anyone who loves yarn, fibre and fibre animals knows it is not a cheap hobby. 
We love creating, we never have enough yarn, we never have the right weight, the right colour and OH look that’s new!!
My husband is wonderful he will drive me anywhere to buy yarn or to just look at yarn. He doesn’t ask again or why. He either drops me off or waits out in the truck. A lot of times he will use this time to catch up on his sleep. One time I was so stressed out while our daughter was having surgery and we were told to come back much later, I didn’t want to leave the hospital. Off we went to find some food and coffee and all I wanted to do was head back to the hospital in case she needed us. My husband said I’ll take you to that yarn store you like and you can look around.
 Well it was nice and eighty dollars later…

The nice thing about the closes shop which is an hour and half away is it has boy’s stores, fixing stores, truck store all around it. BONUS!!!

 And, I never invite him into the store.

A few weeks ago, the yarn store was having a thirty percent sale. Ahh I messaged him at work it was a Friday and it was thirty percent off!! Well hell doesn’t happen often. He came off work early we met at our daughters and off we went to find a thirty percent sale.
 Sale was a success.
 He headed straight home right after the yarn store.

As we were heading home he said “so how much did you spend”
 Ahh what the hell where did that come from… I answered over a hundred…
 no answer…. 
He then said “so just like buying a sheep hey” :0

Which bring us to the sheep ~ a very small bundle sometimes 3-4 skeins can add up to the price of a  sheep.
 Can you just imagine the amount of yarn I am going to have 😊

Welcome to March

This afternoon I finally found some Inspiration to work in the lavender house. I wasn’t too sure if the inspiration was ever going to come back ~ still not sure. There is a lot of work and I do not know how to tell if the squirrels have gone. The best thing I could decide was to start cleaning, clean shelves and throwing out products. It is so hard to do, so heart breaking all the mess. It is truly amazing the devastation the squirrels can do.
I can see the ground again in the garden and it is full of pine needles. I am truly hoping I feel like working on it. You guys I really thinking I am grasping at straws the Inspiration of the garden is going. If you go to face book and type in Petit Creek Lavender, you can go to my page and see all the pictures.
 The gardens are very beautiful.
 I need this Inspiration to hit fast really, really fast.


Enough garden dramatics

We have baby lambs bouncing around the farm.
 They are super cute!
We have very cute miniature goats. This is new for us.  Many years ago, we had some cross-miniature goats but this time we have true little ones. On Saturday I am meeting some people for our little buck (who is a bottle baby). That will give us two females, one buck, three weathers and we are waiting on another female.

Our new sheep are so tame they are super friendly. It is actually hard to get any work done out in the barn yard as they are completely under our feet and want to be pet.
