Renaissance Multi Tasking Bunny

multi tasking bunny

It was another busy week here at the farm. Trying to do as much as I possibly could. Multi Tasking at high speed..lol Lots of bunny care and bunny hairdressing duties and then of course prepping and dyeing, braiding, carding , skeining up and packing of all the July clubs. I did not quite get all the batts done today ready to be posted. All the fibre and yarn clubs and about 2/3rd of the batt clubs have been shipped out today though so they should be arriving very soon ! It was fun working on the Wonder Woman theme and teasers will be posted next week.

After a very very busy Bendigo Show (not even counting the huge preparations for mongths before the show itself) and then the July Clubs and updates, this bunny really needs to have a breather. I am planning on catching up on some reading and knitting on Sunday and really looking forward to some relaxing. See it as a mini holiday …lol

The Tour de Fleece has finished.

Bendigo Bash 2017

follow the bunny footprints ;-)

Only 364 days to go til Bendigo 2018! LOL

Yes, Bendigo show 2017 is over and it was amazing : total heaven for any animal and fibre and craft lover: three days of absolute bliss surrounded by colour, fluff and happy like minded people. What more can you ask for ? Party Time !!!! So after all te preparations, setting up, talking lots and having a great time with everybody showing their support and enthusiasm, it is time to do it all again! Well, it never stopped really, because I do already have some seriously new adventures lined up for next year! Nope, not saying a thing yet !

For those of you who did not have the opportunity to make it to the Bendigo Show here are some photos I took just after I finished setting up with the help of the Awesome Fiona Canavan, on Thursday night before the organisers “kicked” me out of the shed because they wanted to lock up (yes, that’s me: first in, last out…) : Enjoy !

The new blends like Vampire Deer, Gothic bunny and Black bunny sold out; the new blends of rare sheep like the Pixie blend with the Irish Kerry Hill sheep and the Outlander blend with Soay sheep almost sold out (new blending awaits later in the year) and almost all the sock yarns and handspun yarns almost sold out as well, with the marmot bunny yarn selling out faster than I could yell “BUNNY!”, the Dark Side of the Moon colourway was gone just as fast (more info on that later ! hint!).

I am absolutely humbled and energized at the same time by your generosity, your enthusiasm and amazing creativity. Next year the Bendigo show is scheduled to start on Friday 20th of July til Sunday the 22nd of July. Whatever you do, put it in your calendar !! It is going to be FUN !

Now, Every year I have a competition at Bendigo for those who spend over a certain amount at our stall and now is the time the winner is picked to receive a wonderful $200 giftvoucher to spend on what the blog updates have on offer or custom dye or spinning services.

Here it goes…are you ready???

The winner of the Bendigo Show 2017 IxCHeL Prize is……

Number 60 !!!!!

Congratulations Corinne !!! I will be sending you an email tonight with all the information but you can already start celebrating tonight !!!!!!

To all the fantastic people who have shown their support at the show as well by stopping by at our stall : I will be sending you all a surprise as well.

Thank you all so very very much ! Paul, all the fluffy bunnies and myself are immensely grateful by your support!

On this blog I offer you Special Tundra Tops , a Qiviut blend that is amazing to spin and cuddle up to ! Have fun and thank you so so much for your support and being there for our little fibre farm! You are AWESOME !

Happy Hoppy Weekend to all !! Please message me with your wishes and your postal address on facebook, Instagram or ravelry or you can also email me on ixchelbunny at yahoo dot com dot au and I will get straight back to you with all the payment details.
