New blog if you are interested :)

Since I seem to like to share my adventures, this year's journey is unfolding here: http://livingwell365.blogspot.com/

April Canadian Fibre Box Newsletter

The April CFB Newsletter is now posted, here. This was the last regular month, as OVFA is slowing down business into a sustainable side bar :). It's a funny world when success is not necessarily a good thing -- just like the earth saying "Woah there, slow down human race," I've heard some loud and clear messages to draw back on the reigns even if the horses are having a grand time.

Enjoy this last month, and remember to explore spinning local fibres, when and where you can!

Hello everyone! Happy beautiful long weekend. I was in the garden today, and it was gorgeous!

So, the fibre for April is on its way to me. This month’s box is nature inspired hand dyed roving from out West. The fibre (I was sent sample earlier this year) is as breathtaking as the Western scenery. This indie dyer is definitely someone you want to keep an eye on!

Send me a message or put in your order via the website if you would like a share. This will also likely be the last CFB for awhile…I need a break from the busyness of OVFA, given the kids, my health concerns and my day time job. From time to time I’ll be setting up special editions as the time allows -- the monthly schedule is just not working well with increasing business travel for me and my family!

I’ve had such a blast with every I’ve met across Canada (and the US), so I won’t be disappearing, just downsizing and redirecting into something more sustainable!

Thank you for everyone’s fun and support!

March Canadian Fibre Box Club - Eco friendly Mill

And March is out! With a little delay due to family health crisis (seem to be endemic to my household!), this month's club is out.

The newsletter can be found here.

Heres'a pic of this month's contents. I have a very little bit of the purple/grey Blizzard left, and will soon be posting the remainder to the OVFA shop site, in addition to a gorgeous caramel/toffee/cream coloured Blizzard. I also ordered lots and lots of 1/3 each merino/alpaca/kid mohair in grey and fawn.

Okay, off to work now!
