Agape Angoras

Summertime definitely flew by for my family. Much harder to blog when the weather is nice out. This weekend i am preparing for the big hurricane, or tropical storm, we'll see how hard it hits us in Franklin county, but i don't need any rabbits or chickens blowing away or my neighbors will think they are in Kansas when they see an animals flying by their window. With a new computer I am in high hopes to get this blog going again. I should start by letting you know that my hobby/business has a name! We are now Agape Angoras. Agape is Greek and translates into English as love, not just any love but the unconditional love that God gives us and that we should strive for in our lives. I felt like it was very fitting since John and I are working towards that daily. I also just like the word and how it rolls off my tongue. So Agape Angoras is currently 15 rabbits large and one rat ( i will explain later). I bred Black Beauty and Leroy this summer and ended up with the most beautiful litter ever. I may be partial to this but they are so colorful and so many. She gave birth to 9 kits back in the beginning of august. They are three weeks old now and extremely cute and playful. of course I will throw some pics of them on here. Other exciting news is I sold my first pair of fingerless gloves! I had finished making my own over the 4th of July weekend and was showing them off to friends at work. A co worker wanted a pair, I hope all my sales are that easy. I had high hopes of having enough products to sell this fall so I could enter a craft fair but I am afraid that won't be happening. My motivation is there but my bunnies only grow wool so fast. I would need more rabbits to get this task done and if that were to happen I would need more space and time. I have decided to take it slow. I have finally got my rabbits out of my basement though and into their own sheds. These sheds will be temporary until our garage is built but that is still two years away probably. My litter will be ready to go the first week in October so if anyone out their would like a fiber pet just let me know since i will have about 6-7 for sale.
