Hello and Goodbyes

First of all some sad news: Max, our oldest , gorgeous smoke grey angora bunny passed away last Tuesday. She was the sweetest, silkiest angora bunny I have ever had and she will be sadly missed. She had been off her food for a day and I had given her some critical care just ion case, but she did not seem blocked at all nor was there any sign of the feared calici viral infection that had caused so much death and heartache last year on our little farm. On Tuesday midday when I went and checked up on her again, she looked at me , while I was trying to make her comfortable and give her water and then, with a few gasps and a silent little scream, she said goodbye. She will always be a special bunny in our hearts. RIP sweet Max.
Her sister Pippi (a year younger than Max, who was 8 and a half) has been with Max her whole life and although she was okay on Tuesday and Wednesday , I think it has really kicked in yesterday that she misses her a lot. She looks very sad , even with two sweet little girls , Sugar pie and Angel, that live with Pippi in her condo. She has not touched her food this morning so I will have to intervene and give her some critical care today and try and cheer her up with some nice treats and lots of cuddles. Fingers crossed Pippi will be strong enough.

The excitement of the week, apart from our wedding anniversary outing on Monday!, was ofcourse the official Sydney Royal go ahead on April 9th and web info on what is going on at the Easter show for us Rabbit fans ! Here is the link to what is going to take place but more will be announced by the Royal Sydney show next week and heaps of media will be contacted as well: it is going to be so exciting !!!!!

http://australianshowrabbit.tripod.com/id61.html

Now all we need to do is get our act together, train for fast spinning and knitting and for me as well, getting as much fluffy bunny yarn and fibres together for dispay and sale at the Sydney Royal Show ! (Trying not to panic…lol)

Also the race has already begun to organise and plan the Sydney Royal Show in April AND the Bendigo in July ! it is all going to be AWESOME !!! So much to do , so little time, but oh so much fun !


There have been some amazing nice yarns on my wheel and in the dyepost again : this time some lace weight pure angora yarn and last but not least the offering of this week! A SUPER SPECIAL 3 ply yarn that is just too amazing for words: last Saturday the bunny spin in visitors each had a feel of this yarn and there were lots of oohs and aaahs..lol It tales me a while to do but the result is stunning and sooo soft! It is spun on the Schacht Sidekick wheel, on a medium ratio and more importantly, plyed very relaxed: meaning there is flow, drape, super softness and a halo that is out of this world ! The blend? Here it is: 70% long dehaired mink and 30% super fine angora bunny ! one word: AWESOME! Now there is ofcourse only a very limited supply but I am working on more and there will be other colours available: I will be taking orders! So if you want this yarn in coal black or purples or greens (see colour list later on) let me know and I will put you on the order list and start spinning and dyeing. Again, this is super special yarn with an amazing yardage of +/- 350meters per 50 grams ! it is light, it is super soft, it is fluffy BUT because long fibres have been used the amount of pill or shedding will be 0 to hardly any ! Always a positive !

RABBIT ON !
((hugs))
Charly

The Rollercoaster ride has already begun !

Amazing but true: the year has just begun and there are so many things happening already..no rest for the wicked they say eh?
The IxCHeL calendar is filling up fast with spin ins, shows, meetings and last but not least: WORKSHOPS! Yes ! I am doing some workshops this year so for all of you wanting to learn how to spin there are beginner courses and for those of you who want to dabble in art yarn spinning there are several classes set up! Dates will be revealed next week ! yeah ! Keep your calendar free in May , June and then in the second half of the year : October and November !

Also the race has already begun to organise and plan the Sydney Royal Show in April AND the Bendigo in July ! it is all going to be AWESOME !!! So much to do , so little time, but oh so much fun !

Last night I was at the Eat 7 Spin evening at a gorgeous Swiss restaurant in Lilydale , enjoying some amazing Swiss cheese and more ..YUM! with some great spinning and knitting friends. I had a ball ! and apart from chatting and spinning and meeting new fibre fans, one thing is absolutely clear: it is great to have friends in fibre ! It’s great to create together but yet separate, if you know what I mean. I saw the most amazing lace shawls (yes and beaded) last night, wonderful spinning and the most important thing is : everybody was sharing and having fun. And I ask you: isn’t that what craft is all about? Or anything else for that matter! I think the only way to have a better world is to share a positive energy and create and share, not protect and compete. The best inventions have not been made alone, the best inventions have been made by sharing and standing on top of the shoulders of our respected peers: by learning and adding something to their work that is uniquely ours. And by doing that you can create something special and new and you can make a difference to the ones that come after you or stand there beside you. It is exciting, puts a smile on your face and you can just feel the pulse of positive energy bursting through.
The reason why I am saying this..and I am not sure if this is true for others..is that I thrive on positivity : I come up with my best ideas when surrounded by friends and people who create with love. On the other hand, when there are negative energy clouds gathering it is tough. It seems to overtake every creative bone in my body and in such a way that it is hard to focus on creating something special.
I am sure we have all experienced things like that at some point in our lives: not feeling recognised, not getting just a simple and nice complement or worse being overly criticised, seeing that friends are not really friends, people talking behind your back or acting for their own benefit rather than the benefit of all. It is like inspiration can only flourish when there is positivity surrounding us.
It is human though to succumb to negative thoughts sometimes, but extremely important to fight against that with all your might. It took me a very very long time to try and figure out how to fight against it and be my own person despite other peoples negative energy and I am still learning. All I can say is that it is better to do your own thing and be the best you can be and not let yourself be dragged down by negative energy of others. Easier said than done I know! But well worth the effort. Everytime you feel yourself go down that path of wondering why or worry about things, pinch yourself and immediately focus on something of beauty, listen to good music, look at a photo or painting that puts a smile on your face or cuddle that special super fluffy happy looking top or yarn.
Have fun! Because let’s face it: Life is too short ! Smile and Rabbit on !

What is going to happen in a very short time though is that the IxCHeL fibre farm is going to participate in the Royal Sydney Easter Show on the 9th of April !!! Last year I made a suggestion to the organisers of the show that it woud be so good as a promotion for the angora rabbit breed to organise a world record attempt : a back to back Bunny . It has been approved and will be covered by all media !! it is going to be HUGE !!!! It means that 3 bunnies will be clipped, then prepped and spun and then knitted into a shawl/scarf in the shortest possible time. There is a team of 6 people that will do the clipping, the spinning and the knitting : 2 clippers , 2 extremely fast spinners and 2 super fast knitters ! There will be a lot prep and discussion with all the team members before hand ofcourse !! and a lot of practicing by all ;) More information on the back to back bunny event and the Royal Sydney Easter Show can be found on their website later and ofcourse I will keep you updated as well J If you want to be part of this event , volunteer, help or be there, please message me of give me a ring!

There have been some amazing nice yarns on my wheel for custom orders again including some core spun yarns ! which are great fun to spin and yes: there are workshops planned for wire core spinning as well ! I just HAD to share them with you because I am totally in love with them !

Kid mohair, merino, angora, gold thread, glitz and angelina and duck feathers

Wire core spun yarns

Wire core spun yarns: you can make the most gorgeous crowns, headbands, hats ! and wearable art with these yarns! Or even arty baskets or vessels! The only limit is your imagination !


Angorino blend tops are back.! A new harvest of this amazing blend is available again in new colourways that are out of this world. The blend is wonderful to spin, is supersoft because of the bunny blended in it thoroughly and I am thrilled with the colour combos. I hope you will be too and some amazing deep deep DEEP black pure angora 3 ply yarn with an amazing yardage ! 400 meters per 50 grams: enough to make a scarf with one skein ! yes one skein!

How To Order:
You can email me on ixchel at rabbit dot com dot au or message me on facebook or ravelry where I am Ixchelbunny. I will email you right back with all your order details and payment methods. Any questions? Please don’t hesitate to ask! Always happy to enable.

RABBIT ON !
((hugs))
Charly

Another exciting week...

The flu is still hanging around with a vengeance, with total disregard to the fact I am absolutely not interested in having it stay for much longer ! and just when I thought the electricity issue was sorted and the weekly dyeing day would be without any exciting things happening, the power went OFF.... Again......for a whole day and more.... Now, for all of you living in suburbia or a city, this may sound a bit strange. For all of us living in the bush and in the country these things happen more often than not. Especially in the bush or , where we are , where there are trees and wild life in abundance. One gush of wind in wet conditions can send a tree down or a branch or a koala treads where it shouldn’t and “Poof!Bang!..”no electricity. Why? Because all the powerlines are above ground. Not only is this asking for trouble but it can be very disastrous (for example the Kinglake horrendous bushfires started by a short in the powerlines on a very hot day). I’m not an expert but hey, why not dig them in eh? I know it’s probably not very cost effective for the power companies who have to fork out millions, but I think they make more than enough money already.
Also , after being without power for the whole day on the Wednesday and knowing that this is not the first nor will it be the last time, we are sooo tempted to find a way to be totally off the grid. Solar power here is not really an option for the whole kit and caboodle because of the trees, mountains and , let’s face it, the less than normal hours of sun we are getting, but there must be other ways and it is definitely worth looking at. It’s a long term plan…

What is going to happen in a very short time though is that the IxCHeL fibre farm is going to participate in the Royal Sydney Easter Show on the 9th of April !!! Last year I made a suggestion to the organisers of the show that it woud be so good as a promotion for the angora rabbit breed to organise a world record attempt : a back to back Bunny . It has been approved and will be covered by all media !! it is going to be HUGE !!!! It means that 3 bunnies will be clipped, then prepped and spun and then knitted into a shawl/scarf in the shortest possible time.

Apart from all the power outages and flu , I have been busy again with making this update a very nice exciting one: there is the January selection of mini skeins that are super cool ! and come with a very nice extra: a smile hexapuff chart ! Also two types of sock yarn: my new design “morse code dyed sock yarn” and super new colour combinations in my hand dyed merino/nylon 4ply sock yarn !

There have been some amazing nice yarns on my wheel for custom orders and I just HAD to share these two with you because I am totally in love with them ! One is a Wood Elf Art yarn: Australian bush bird feathers, paperbark spun with blue faced Leicester, merino, cashmere, angora bunny, glitz, gold and silk all dyed with walnut.

Wood Elf Art Yarn for a custom order

Peachy princess Art yarn: Lace, spun with blue faced Leicester, merino, cashmere, angora bunny, glitz, gold and silk.

Peachy Princess Art Yarn for a custom order

Last but not least , Navajo Churro Bunny Blend tops are back! A new harvest of this amazing blend is available again in new colourways that are out of this world. The blend is wonderful to spin, is strong but still soft because of the bunny blended in it thoroughly and I am thrilled with the colour combos.

One last thing before I let you drool and snaffle: your support means a lot to us here at the farm. You are not only buying yarn or fibre, you are supporting a small farm with happy animals raised with love and attention and care. It is not easy as a small business to survive these days and for a small farm it can be even harder. So, I want to thank all of you loyal readers and supporters out there. This week know that you are not only supporting us, but also the Navajo Nation, who have been instrumental in saving the beautiful Navajo Sheep from extinction.

One last thing: be creative, be yourself and most of all: do not try and do the same as others. Be brave enough to be Different. Never compare yourself to others and be proud of what you can achieve by doing the best you can. Have fun !

How To Order:
You can email me on ixchel at rabbit dot com dot au or message me on facebook or ravelry where I am Ixchelbunny. I will email you right back with all your order details and payment methods. Any questions? Please don’t hesitate to ask! Always happy to enable.
