Thanksgiving Day

I am finally out of the kitchen. I love Thanksgiving but I always over do it and now that everyone is gone, we still have enough left overs for at least a week. The company was good and stayed just the right amount of time. Now I am cruising around Etsy finding new sites I like.
This one http://tinyurl.com/yd8tlg4 has some very interesting felt jewelry. She uses her sewing machine on her felt much more that I do and I like the look. After the holidays, I will play around with this too.
Seems to be many more people on Etsy each month. So many jewelry makers, I honestly don't know how any of them get their shop to stand out. Lots more roving being offered which is nice. Remember if you felt, don't buy superwash roving, this is for spinning only.
I have the opportunity to get 2 alpaca if I want them right now. Only $100 for each of them and the current owners will work with me on getting them here from NC mountains. They just want to cull their herd, hay is getting expensive. Our backyard is about 2/3s of an acre and is fenced 6 ft high. It would be very easy to build a small stable/shelter for them connected to the barn. They would have to share the backyard with my dogs who are mostly inside but I just don't know if this will work. I don't want to make any of them unhappy or threatened. Decisions to be made. Wouldn't it be lovely to wake up on Christmas day and have them safely in my yard?
Hope all of you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving and don't eat as much as I did!
