Woolie Creations Angora Rabbits

This is a sweet German doe that is a little slower growing and a bit smaller that her litter mates. She has TONS of wool and will make a great wooler. She is about 6 months old. $150.00

Available Black Satin Angora doe. She has a KILLER body and her wool is just coming back in from being clipped. She is black but for some reason the camera is picking up a redish tinge. She is SOOOOO shiny I think it was messing with the camera! $100.00

Hi Everyone I know it has been a long time since I posted to my blog. I am starting back up now. :)

Hi Again,
I know it has been awhile since I posted. Life gets in the way sometimes of things we want to do and have time for!
I did really well at my 1 show a year I go to this year. It is the Dalton, Ga triple show with a specialty show that Sunday. There were a few new faces there this year and we had a great time.

Like everyone else I have been scaling back my bunnies. Feed prices just like gas has gone out of site! I can't afford to feed so many bunnies so I have a good many less than in the past. I have a few more beautiful French to find new homes for so if you are wanting a nice doe or two please email me.

I have several litters growing up ranging from a couple of days old to weaning age. There are some French, Satin and a German litter that will be available soon.

Good luck to everyone with the upcoming summer!

Well it has been a long haul but I am done with school now! I managed to pull a 4.0 average (all A's !). That is something that is VERY hard to do for those who have not tried it yet. It took a LOT of hard work and long hours of studying to pull it off. I am very proud of it too as you can see. ;) I will now have 2  Associate Degrees in  - Web Design & Web Applications. I have been doing the same stuff for the last 10 years but wanted to make it official on paper. Most places when you go to apply for a job want that paper! Was it worth it? YES!  I learned so much from it and met a lot of new friends along the way!

Now I will be looking for work along the way. Wish me luck!

Thanks

I am re-thinking my views on modern life at present. I have lived without a dryer now for about 2 years. After having mine for over 18 years it finally quit. I started hanging clothes out on the line when it was not raining and on the porch when it was. It has worked out wonderfully but I just have to be mindful of the weather. That's a good thing I guess. ;) I like the fresh air smell as well!

About 8 months ago I started making my own washing soap for the clothes washer. Hey to my surprise, this has worked out wonderfully also. I now have bight clothes that are cleaner than using the commercial soaps and at about 2-3 cents per load, it is budget friendly!

Yesterday I had 2 things go out on me. My microwave bit the dust. I found out it is not a good thing to put a metal pan in there even if it is not shiny! My dish washer just quit. No reason other than age I think. I got 20 years out of it so I can't complain. Now my daughter has a new job.... dish washer! LOL

Well with no money coming in and lots going out on bills, I have had to invent new ways (or old ways) to do things. A few years back we put in a wood burning stove to heat the house with, out of necessity. You know that money thing again. Well I have been having a blast saving money and cooking on my wood stove! I cooked a chicken in my pressure cooker last night on it and a big batch of mustard greens to boot! I just found my mother in laws biscuit pan and used it to do some wonderful biscuits. The pan is double sided so you put the biscuits in and close it. When they are done on one side you flip it over on the other side. Really a neat invention from years past!

Then there is the bath water. I heat the water on the wood stove for baths every night. Less work the water heater does and less on the electric bill! With all this the electric bill has gone from $150 per month to $80 last month! WOW What a difference. OH I forgot to mention we don't run the air conditioner any more either. Just can't afford it! It is tough in the summer heat down here but one has to do without these days!

More later so stay tuned!

Well I am finally getting to post about my trip to the Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair. I don't get out much so it was a BIG trip for me!

We drove up on Friday and stopped by the fair for awhile. I was absolutely amazed! It was my first time going to an event like that so I was like a kid in a candy store! I was in fiber heaven!! There were soooo many colors, fibers, garments, and so on, my head was spinning.

I quickly looked up some of my friends booths and said hi. Then I went exploring! I bounced from booth to booth touching and ohhhhh and awed. My wonderful hubby said I could get what I wanted so I got some wonderful rovings from Gail White of Ozark carding. I had a nice conversation with Gail while I was there and found out about Bamboo. She told me it makes wool softer and adds some strength to the fiber. I have done some felting with the rovings I got from her and I love it!


There were lots of other booths I stopped at and had to have a little of this and that. I got some wonderful colored mohair from Tina Evans of Dry Creek Naturals, and met Elaina Kenyan who I have known for years but never met. I also got to meet Terri Robertson. She was at Sally's booth just as I was leaving. Sorry I didn't get to chat more. There is always next year!


My next stop was to see Roo, Moonwood Farm, and Pam, Sweet home ALpaca, at their booth to deliver their new member of Pam's farm family. Pam got a beautiful SAtin Angora from me. ;) I brought bac some of the most beautiful Alpaca fiber from Pam! I carded some of it up already and made a scarf with it! WOW sooooo soft!

The second day of SAFF was just as exciting! My hubby bought me a Kromski Loom from My friend Linda Davis. After years and years of talking with Linda I finally got to meet her. It was a real pleasure as she is a very nice lady. I am looking forward to playing with my loom soon.

Then there is my buddy sally!!

She is one of a kind!! She had some beautiful stuff in her booth including BUNNIES!!!

She brought me a beautiful German Angora buck Dark Starz Mr. Bubbles, and a beautiful Chocolate German doe. I will post pictures of them tomorrow.

All in all I had a blast at SAFF! I can't wait till next year as I am already wishing I had gotten more goodies than I did! I have also come to the conclusion that fiber people are much friendlier, nicer bunch of people than Angora show people as a whole!

Hi Everyone
I am sorry for not keeping up on my posts lately. It has been some time since I posted. Things have been hectic with school and all. I finally made it through my refresher math classes and now I am in the BIGGIE...... collage algebra! yeh.  I am plugging along little by little and I WILL make it through! I am really close to having my 2 degrees now!

My bunnies have been hanging in there with all this heat. They are doing better than I am with it! I have weaned a couple of litters and have decided to let a couple of my Blue Eyed White French Doe's go to new homes. The above picture is a very sweet girl about 1 year old. (she has been clipped back so over look that) She has had 1 litter and raised it very well. She is very good show quality and would make a great spinning bunny for someone. I will have more pictures up on my web site shortly of a few I have available so go take a peek. I have re-designed my web site so hopefully you will get a surprise if you haven't stopped by in awhile!  http://www.wooliecreations.net
