I need to go fabric shopping and get yarn as well getting ready for Christmas need to make the kids gifts. And some for extended family.
Sure wish TX wasn't so far away. I got abt 500 lbs of cloth left by my Mom. Just sitting there (taking up space). During early Covid mask making days, ppl were going crazy for elastic. Bet I got 20lbs in a drawer.

:he:he:barnieokay called around in April to get pricing for the pigs to be butchered was told they would and pricing but they said no appointment needed. Now telling me they no longer process and one over an hr away does but wants .95lb and 50 dollar for pigs. The kill fee normal but oh no on the per pound fee thats .30 cents more per pound and they booked till end of august. Waiting for one more to get back with me but frustration is mounting.

Oh Boo-Hoo! Let me play my tiny little violin for you! .95 per pound and $50 kill fee ain't bad. Booking till end of August is unheard of around here. Slaughter places are booking into NEXT YEAR. I learned the hard way to book slaughter when I got my animals or when they are born. It is paying off now! With the Covid-19 all of a sudden EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A FARMER. I had my lambs booked for slaughter since January. We took them yesterday. We got feeder pigs February 6, and I booked them for August 24. I sure am glad now that I did that. They charge $65 kill fee and $1.05 per pound for vacuum seal. We bought a calf, when the pigs go out, we will bring the calf in. When we took the lambs in, I tried to book the calf for next March, but they were already booked into May of 2021! When we got in the truck, I called another place an hour away and got a date in March of 2021, as they were booking in March already. I didn't even ask what they charge. It is freaking CRAZY here!
