You got drama llama? May I suggest alpaca love?

I spent the weekend up at my mother's helping with the shearing of her six alpacas. I spent all day yesterday in the barn helping to sort the fibre into its qualities: first (best quality to be spun into yarn), second (okay quality), thirds (really only good for felting and playing around with) and junk. It was fun. I went to a fibre sorting clinic with my mother last weekend, so I had a little bit of an idea what I was doing. It was a nice chance to get out of the city for a weekend and have some fun with my family... though staying in my stepsister's room was odd. Her bed is too small and too hard! My neck and back are killing me.

Alpacas look really funny after they've been sheared.

Pics are in my facebook album, which can be found here

All that fresh country air really knocked me out... I was asleep by 11 last night, and didn't get up until after 9 this morning.
