It All Started with This!!

                                           Meet Alyssa the Alpaca



Over the Christmas Break some of my grands stayed overnight.......

The next day we bundled up and went to the Alpaca Farm........

In all my years I have never been up close to these beautiful animals......

Now I understand why we make these our pets............

Just look at those big eyes and long eyelashes..............

Their wool coat is so thick and soft.............

My hand reached in to pet her and she turn and looked at me and liked

my hair........Nana look out Alyssa is trying to eat your hair...........

The breeder just had to shoo her aside ,  but..... she kept coming back........

It's as it we bonded....or she just liked my curly hair...............






Ok to make a long story short..........

We went into the barns , saw the animals and then we went into the store.....

Oh such woven and beautiful garments made from the Alpaca wool............

My grands fell in love with these mittens............I guess.....they were so thick..... and warm....

Well at the hefty price of $50.00 a pair...........I wasn't about to spend............So I purchased

a ball of Alpaca wool and................


Did I mention the Alpaca yarn was $15.00....................................
