IxCHeL Fibres, Yarns & Art: Not ready....yet

I am not ready for it to be December…absolutely not ready at all. Things have been non stop busy this last week with all the clubs and the orders having to be prepared, advanced spinning workshops, a guild Christmas show to go to, the rare breed Loch Ness Fibre adventure to do and heaps and heaps of custom orders to finish and send off…I am longing to take a breath..a deep one and sit down with some eggnog…maybe next week ;-)

The thing is, I have never really been able to slow down. That is, there are certain periods in my life I was so ..well…unable mentally or physically..that I stayed in bed or “in”..couldn’t leave the house (or bed)…for days or even weeks. Yes, really! Another confession I know..lol When I look back, there were about 4 or 5 times in my life that it was so bad I just could not go anywhere, do anything or socialise, nothing… It was a deep dark despairing time. Those were very, very bad times and I would not want to wish it on anybody. On the other hand, there were many more times I was so excited, happy and exuberantly full of ideas and creativity, I just could not help myself and be UP all the time..even stay up..well, you all know that by now.lol….my so called “nightclub spinning” time I call it now, working until dawn and all that kind of thing. I feel now , much more than anytime before, that being “me” is okay..I have accepted my Ups and Downs, that nothing is meant to be perfect, that there is not one goal or so called purpose in life, but that there are many and most importantly , the fact that you cannot be liked by everybody but you have to start liking yourself or face the consequences.

So, this week, look in the mirror and like yourself, be your own friend. Ultimately it is not how many “likes” or “ friends” you gather on facebook or other social media…You, most of all, have to be your best friend… Me, Myself and I, wish you a very happy and stress free December.

Rabbit on !!

Club info Time !

It is that time of year again: Believe it or not but a new year is almost there (SCARY!!!) and the time to sign up for the new IxCHeL clubs starting in January 2015 ! Yes ! 2015!!!!

I have been working very very hard this year to source some very special rare breeds of fibre producing animals. From Seaweed sheep to those cute Valais Blacknose .

There will be more adventures and rare breeds on offer next year including Hungarian Racka sheep and the awesome Gra TRoender sheep from Norway ! Not to mention very VERY special Qiviut and some very special super rare fluff as well !

I will be offering special blends of these rare breeds in the special IxCHeL Fibre adventures like I have done in the last two months (Smaug and Loch ness) but will also offer them to all club members in one blend or another ! Rare breeds need our help and support. Rare breeds need to survive. There is nothing more disheartening than to see that a gorgeous animal has become extinct.. There is nothing more sad than labelling anything “The last of its kind”…

Only by supporting and spinning rare breeds will we all be adding to the diversity of our beautiful world. Don’t miss out ! Membership will give you access to very special blends only released to club members in one of a kind colourways !

Join the club ! Have fun creating and Rabbit On !!!
