Santa Bunny is coming !

I want to thank each and every one of you for all the fantastic support you have shown in 2016. The IxCHeL Fibre Farm would not be here without you!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sticking with me, reading my blog, being so enthusiastic about all the fluffy stuff happening here, for all the love and creativity you have shared; for all of that I am immensely grateful !

And because every single day you put a smile on my face by sending me messages, cards, even gifts: You are awesome and amazing and I am very happy and humbled being part of your tribe.
Thank you!!!

Throughout the year I add little gifts to the parcels here and there as a surprise, I do my "instant karma" thing (=when I know people buy something for somebody else, so I add something extra for the giver) but today: this friday, to make your Christmas, Hannukah, Winter Solstice, Saturnalia, Bah Humbug day or whatever you like to celebrate during this time of year, EXTRA special !   :

I am going to offer free post to everybody,  no matter where on earth you live AND everybody who orders something from this blog update will go in the raffle to win a special IxCHeL GIFT BASKET worth $100!!!

The winner of this IxCHeL Gift basket will be revealed on next fridays blog, so keep a close eye on what's going on  !

There are lots and lots of new things happening here at the farm, plans are being made as I type for
  new blends,
  new Australian milled yarns as a coop between our little fibre farm and a fantastic mill in Victoria!;
  new dye AND
  new rare breed adventures,
  new exciting plans ! and......
   , , I hope you are sitting down!!!,
  an IxCHeL  website in the new year to knock your socks off!!! (it only took about 12 years..lol)

I will not give up blogging nor will I change my philosophy of staying sustainable and small. Nor will I ever compromise on giving you the best possible fluffy service you have ever had. Nor will I forgo my Instant Karma principle.

I will stay me...but hopefully with giving you a few more insights  of what I do that will  be released on the web: like my design output that i have never put on my blog, my paintings, my slow fashion, my embroidery, my mixed media.....too much to mention but that is essentially "me".  If you thought the blog was it, I think the upcoming website will give you an "almost'  complete view of my chaotic creative wanderings ! ....so yes, Exciting !!!

AND

last but certainly not least, because it is so close to my heart as a cancer survivor : I will be concocting a hand dyed special range to help fund cancer research in the new year (thanks for the idea Diana!) and call it the "F*ck Cancer" range!
Too many good friends have died in 2016 ( I will always remember you dear Elizabeth and Isabel...blessings ).
Too many good people and families are suffering. So the time has come to make a difference not just for breast cancer, but for the cancers that are discovered wayyyyy too late like ovarian cancer, bowel cancer or  uterine cancer. So I thought YES ! let's  "F*ck cancer"  in a fluffy creative way...and most of all : fight TOGETHER!

Again, Thank you so much for all your support ! Have a wonderful time with your family and friends and pets ! Keep sharing the love! Keep creating and most of all: Keep having FUN ! Happy holidays everybody !!!

So, here’s my 4th December fluff offering for you to you: freshly dyed special IxCHeL GaGa! Bunny Tops with a nice bit of bling in them,  for this time of year! GaGA! Bunny tops are a  luxurious spin and cuddle with Lustrous Blue Faced Leicester Wool, Angora bunny and cashmere with an added bonus of some nice bling accents. AND....drumroll....GUANACO BLEND TOPS ! one of the softest fluff on this planet especially when combined with our angora bunny and muga silk and cashmere !

Also, please do not forget this is the last week to sign up for the clubs AND, , last but not least, if you have totally forgotten to give somebody a gift and it is too late to go to the shops or send anything physically to  them: you can still get out of the "naughty" corner and give somebody a giftvoucher which I can email to you.

Again a huge thank you to all of you who support our little fibre farm dedicated to sustainability, creativity and sharing : Big Fluffy Hugs to all !

Please let me know if you have any questions okay? If you like to order some of what you see here on tonight’s blog, just message me on ravelry or facebook or send me an email. I will get right back to you with all the details. Happy Snaffling !!!!
