Spring Break

I haven't posted anything for the last couple of weeks, because of my lack of free time due to finals and various other projects. I finished the confetti order and sent it out, and boy were my hands and wrists sore after all that punching! I also finished the apron and sent it out, and received the apron from my swap partner. I have to say, I'm proud of how my apron turned out, considering it was my first sewing project, although my mom did help me a lot. 

I am looking forward to this next week off of classes, during which time I plan to drink lots of hot tea, read and design new products for my Etsy shop. I just ordered some wool off of Etsy that I want to experiment with, and hopefully use in my products. Some of the wool is from the Lincoln Longwool breed, and consists of lots of long ringlets. I have actually been looking into this breed and from what I've read, they seem to pretty well suited for this area and are a dual purpose breed, for both meat and fiber. I am definitely going to do some more research on the breed (and I obviously have some time to decide), but I would love to be able to raise sheep on my someday homestead.
