This is wonderful News Debra!! God is indeed working in your life. Are you going to go completely with just the wool and fiber given to you or would you also like lots of yarn that go on sale from time to time in stores like dollar stores, walmart, etc to use up to make stuff like dishcloths? My mom uses those and I have to admit that I have two of the crocheted dishcloths and these are wonderful in getting stubborn food off of plates! Also they don't scratch the non-stick pans. Will you be able to devote time to this and still teach the children? Will the kids help you when you need it? I do know that you are homeschooling the kids and am wondering how the oldest is helping out with the youngest.
Having only 2 daughters and both at 7.7 years apart (7 years and 7 months) I always had an only child each time and Bekah was raised by her adopted father...so for the last 11 years (soon!) I've only had one child to raise. Naomi does want to be with other families that have lots of kids. She hates being by herself and so do I.

Hi gals! I just started my own business. I will be spinning up my own
yarn and then using it to knit up quick knit items like hats, socks,
scarves and selling them. I will also be knitting for a lady who has a
llama farm and sells fiber and custom yarns. I will be using her yarns
for that. If she likes what I do she is going to use my business name on
her web page to advertise my knitting.
Please be praying. I need to come up with some great quick knit items. I
also need to figure out how to price things. And I need to keep track of
my time spent knitting or spinning. I also need fiber. Soft fiber. I was
fortunate to meet a lady who has a a petting zoo. She has 15
llamas/alpacas. She was throwing away the fiber. She had 3 garbage bags
full of dark brown to black alpaca. She is giving it to me. And I can
have what she has after next shearing as well. This is a major blessing
as I will be able to spin it up and knit many soft and luxurious items
with it.
Anyway, just had to share what I am doing. Thanks for praying.
blessings,debra
