3 Weeks until Tom goes off to Bootcamp
We are getting down to the wire now. Tom feels pretty prepared to go off to boot camp. I am feeling easier about it too. I will miss him terribly but I am already working on feeling up my days to keep busy. I will still Nanny 2 days a week. I will hopefully also get a part time waitressing job. I interviewed and the atmosphere of the place is great so I am hopeful that I will hear back a positive this week. I also plan on learning Spanish or at least starting to learn while he is gone. I have the Pimsleur Spanish phase 1 to try. I will see how good the course is before committing to more money for it. I have always wanted to learn a foreign language though so I am pretty excited.
Tom plans on working for about 2 more weeks then we will go visit family before he leaves. We are looking at this as a very positive step forward in our life. I will be reaching out to friends and family while he is away to help when I get lonely and miss him. Thankfully we will get to write each other and he will get a few phone calls while away.

Wishing to Adopt
I created this wish at WishUponaHero. Please read and share with as many people as you can. I truly believe the more this wish spreads the better our chances of adopting are.
We would very much like to adopt a healthy baby. I am putting this wish up in hopes someone will be able to fulfill our dreams of having a family. I am unable to have children due to medical issues. We believe we would be great parents who know that children are a blessing. If you are someone or know someone who is thinking of putting a baby up for adoption I hope you will consider us.
My husband is joining the Navy so we will have a fairly stable and secure life. I am going back to college to be a social worker. We are both nice, loving and stable people with so much love in our hearts for the baby who will eventually come to us. We are hoping to adopt a healthy baby and that is really all we care about. Boy or girl doesn't matter, we will love either.
We are also listing with an agency Angel Adoption next year but fees for agencies are expensive. We have set up a GoFundMe page to raise the fees for adoption. here is the link http://www.gofundme.com/crko8 so you can also help us accomplish our goal of raising $5000 for the initial payment to Angel Adoption. We have raised $100 of the fee so far. Please share this wish because we feel the more people it reaches the better our chance of adopting.
Thank you for reading,

Its Fiber Friday!
I am working at my friends shop The Tangled Yarn in Nicolasville, KY this week and next. Today I have been picking some locks to make dryer balls. I am also washing a very lovely Cormo fleece that I have plans on dyeing up and maybe making into batts. I am also making batts since I am so very low on them. I have some festivals coming up so I am trying to stock up not only on my online shop but for the festivals. I am also adding some new products to my shop. I plan on adding soaps, dryer balls, and more project bags. I am really wanting to expand what I do to bring in more business. If anyone has ideas I would love to hear them. I hope everyone is doing grand. My life is pretty great right now! big hugs to everyone!

Fiber Festivals in May I will be attending
I will at the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival May 18-20. I will also be at the Middle TN Fiber Festival May 25-26. I hope to see you at one of them! I will be in the Moonwood Farm booth helping the wonderful Roo out! I am bringing a wide variety of things with me. Here is a list of what I have prepared so far:
52 Batts
35 Hand Dyed Yarn
2 Pencil roving
1 Silk Hankie
41 Stitch Markers
32 kitty Kisses Hand tied yarn
48 Fabric Flower Pin Kits
34 Felted Soap Kits
4 Double sided shawl
1 Scarf
I am still working on
1 Triangle Shawl
34 Yarns in the process of being dyed
? Batts that I can make in the next few weeks. Though honestly not that many as I am doing full time Nanny work for a bit.
My stuff is all labeled and ready to go so the rest of the stuff will be labeled as it is finished to be taken to the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival in a bit under 2 weeks! Wow time has just flown for me. I am also planning some other festivals later this summer and fall. I will have considerably more merchandize at those festivals as I will have had more time to prepare for them.
I am feeling pretty excited because besides Roo of Moonwood Farm, Elizabeth of Spotted Circus will also be there. We will be having a special booth coupon that will be good for any of our stuff. If you are able to please do stop by and say hi, introduce yourself if we have not gotten to meet yet. I love meeting new people at the festivals. My online shops will reopen after the festivals in May so no fear there! I just found that I could not prepare for the festival and maintain my online shop at the same time. If you are not able to go to the festivals I hope we at least get to talk online. I am on Ravelry often enough. I also have my newsletter though I have to say I am not that great about sending them out. (probably as good as I am at keeping my blog active lol). Finally you can find me on Facebook to say hi! I will resume custom orders in June. Thanks to everyone who reads this blog!
