Life has many twists and turns, and about the time I start getting worried about the future something new comes along, and before I know it there's another twist or turn. This year it's been a turn. I've been a homemaker for 19 years, and after my oldest went to college last year I realized I needed a life after the kids move on to bigger and better things. I don't want a career away from home, I love being a homemaker. There is a art about being a homemaker that has been lost over the years; I think my grandmothers understood that art. I want to continue that art, but at the same time have a little something of my own to add just the right amount of spice to my life.
My turn, English Angora rabbits. Yes, it sound funny, but its true. I fell in love the moment I set eyes on them. Their soft, silky, fluffy, squishy bodies, and their sweet faces. The best part, fiber. Yes, fiber. It's a wonderful word that congers up thoughts of spinning a silky, soft yarn that after knitted has a fuzzy glow; like wearing a little piece of heaven, and I get to spin this fiber every 4 months. yeah for me! So this turn has taken me from homeschooling, homemaking, mother of 3, and wife of the hardest working man I know, to fiber artist that has started a rabbitry for the spinning and dyeing yarn that will be my new bussiness. I thank the Lord often for the twists and turns of life, and the reward of doing things I love while keeping up with the most important things, my family.
