Over the past 3 years, I’ve managed to start a new biz each year.

Seriously…I should probably have my head checked…particularly before 2012.

So, this is why I’m not posting much here on my personal site. I recommend checking out my blog over on GnomeAcres. It’ll be updated more often. I promise. I think…

I just found out last week that my newest llama, Punxsutawney, took home a 3rd place ribbon at the Illinois State Fair this year! She placed in the female llama (6-12 months old), light/medium wool category.

She’s a beautiful little gal that was born on, you guessed it, Groundhog’s Day earlier this year. She was named after the infamous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil.

To the right, is a photo of her when she was just a month or so old. More pics of her awesomeness, and her fantabulous ribbon, will be posted soon.

It’s finally done! GnomeAcres.com is up and running! Ok, well it’s not done-done, but done enough to blog about it. I’m really happy with the way this WordPress site turned out. I started out with a free theme, but there’s practically nothing left in the code that resembles the original theme.

I’m happy I finally have a place to showcase some of the products I’ve been making. My plan is to eventually show the lengthy process that it takes to get the fiber from a llama or alpaca to a finished product.
