Does anyone have a tick keep away secret? My poor two year old had three in her hair yesterday. I do not want to have to use harsh chemicals on her.

I highly suggest learning to spin with wool first. Alpaca can be very slick. Just get some practice wool learn then make some beautiful yarn. When i was having a hard time with a mohair/wool blend I ran it through the carder again. That really helps. If you can I would send the fiber to a...

What would be your favorite books on herbs? I would love to learn this stuff.

I spin with drop spindles. I have some BL wool on my top whirl now. I can't do it for too long or my back starts to hurt. I am trying to find a spinning wheel to rent and see if I like it.

Thank you everyone. We live on a dead end gravel road in the country. So not only does my neighbor walk her dogs off leash but so do random people from in town. My landlord has seen a fight between the dogs. They can not tell between playing and fighting. But anyhow they did finally talk...

Here's the deal. We rent and the agreement the landlord has with the neighbor is causing huge problems for me. The agreement is that the neighbors dogs can be on our property at any time. So everyday these dogs are in my yard. Now this has work for years because the LL's dog played with...

My DH has said that I can have half of our rebate check come tax time. He has a new shotgun in mind. We want to start hunting but need the gun first. He really wants me to get my fish tank I've been wanting for years. I just can't though. I feel that as long as we have debt it's a silly...
