Carrots for Checkers and Bob!!

I know sometimes we must seem like Charity central but we truly believe in doing good in our lives and love to help others doing good too! Many of you may remember our former designated charity? The group OohMahNee rescue that brought us 12 wonderful sheep? Unfortunately shortly after Katrina, they had to close their doors but before doing so had done remarkable work re-homing injured or neglected farm animals.... We have finally found our new designated charity and our 3 Chic Knits and the sheep will be donating from each purchase of finished hand knit/woven items on our website page to help support the long term residents at Wisconsin's Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation (MHWF)!

Our regular 3 Chick knit/woven offerings are now showcased in our Etsy shop--our favorite Independent Artist forum. The items listed on our website 3 Chic page will be sold and 50% of the proceeds donated to Checkers, Bob and their friends at MHWF-in the buyer's name. For more about Checkers and Bob, please visit our page on the website. You can purchase from us to donate, OR go right to their site to donate there... (Ross & I are hoping to adopt Checkers & Bob at some point--just don't tell Jim--hee hee!)

There are more pictures, stories of available adoptions and just a bunch of great people doing phenomenal work to find the horses forever homes. We have donated to date $22.50 and are just getting started!! Thank you Martie!!

We will be posting the new Breast Cancer raffles today or tomorrow so be sure to visit again and/or join our email 'notify' list so you can see all the goodies up for grabs this month! Thank you all again for being so generous and for loving our critters as much as we do!!

And the March Winners Are...... drumroll paleese!

Thank you all for your patience! We have had some family issues AND sheep shearing this week-- that prevented us from drawing the March winners of our fiber and yarn Breast Cancer walk drawings on time.... Thanks to all of you again, from our very heart and soul, you have helped the sheep raise $544 to date!

The Yarn Raffle winner for March is Jen Whalen of Pittsburgh, PA and the Fiber Raffle winner for March is Oneida Scofield of Monroe, Wisconsin. Thank you all for participating and a fun gift from the sheep is on its way to each of you soon as a thank you! Wheeeee!

Hope you are all having a wonderful week and again, thank you for your patience as we get caught back up!

I will be posting the new April raffles tomorrow so check back--also will be posting new fleeces so be sure to add your name to our new email list for website updates!!!

Eek, it is going to RAIN on our parade!

What the heck??? Yep, severe storms are pending for our evening so please bear with us--the raffle results will be posted later tonight-- we are currently running around like a bunch of goons trying to get the sheep in the barn for the night. Ugh! They are NOT happy but we are happier with dry sheep to shear tomorrow for sure! We win! ha! (until we have to fix all the places they spend their night head butting out of sheer boredom of course! )

SO, more later this evening and thank you to miss Olivia (aka Livi) my sister's Great Dane mix who is so aptly portraying our day!

Fiber fiber and MORE fiber!

Hello all, hope you are having a great fibery/yarny weekend! Gloomy and rainy here so a great time to sit and spin--hee hee! The sheep just added on tons of new color ways of dyed fiber, washed Alpaca fleece and roving galore! Be sure to check out the new, unique blends they are coming up with! I will be adding new yarn and MORE fiber this week so keep an eye out!

If you would like to receive our update emails, please be sure to add your name to our list- there is a new button at the right side of our website that makes it a snap! You can unsubscribe any time if we send you too many and you want to wring our necks--ha!

We will be drawing the raffle winners tonight so will have that info out for you asap! Thank you all for your generosity, the sheep have great raffle ideas in store for April too!!

We are shearing on Tuesday (yey) so please bear with us as we get through this week--it is hectic to say the least and we will most likely be mailing new orders out on Wednesday or Thursday. Happy creative day to all!!
