As a shepherd-turned-business owner, my days can be extremely hectic. But I always try to find time for my mental health. Especially once lambing season arrives, it’s just too easy to let the “hustle” take over! Thankfully, my business is centered...

That’s all they really want! And fall is the season for it, from pumpkin spice lattes to jack-o’lanterns. Did you know that the original jack o’lanterns were made out of turnips or other root vegetables? The practice originated in Europe, where night...

Our farm at Bear Creek is quite the menagerie. We started with just a few sheep as my daughter Libbie wanted a lamb. This led me to discover the fiber arts, as well as the joys of shepherding! But as it turns out, sheep are like chips. You can’t stop at just...

Needle felting is always a fun adventure through the world of imagination. We just wrapped up our needle felting safari, and it was indeed a walk on the wild side! It was lovely to meet new felting friends from around the Western U.S. They traveled many miles to enjoy...

A wool by any other name will still felt, right? True, but in my experience, Romney wool is the best for needle-felting. That’s why most of the Bear Creek kits contain Romney wool … and from our very own flock! But why is Romney better? Why do different...

It’s been just over a year since Nome Schoolhouse officially re-opened! Our anniversary is close enough to Independence Day that we can celebrate both at once. Last year, our grand opening was also a Fourth of July party. This year, we outdid ourselves with an...

Most schoolhouses are closed for summer, but not ours! In fact, Nome Schoolhouse is a lovely destination during North Dakota’s pleasant summer. I feel so grateful to be able to enjoy the weather and work on my projects. It’s a calm, creative atmosphere. As...

It’s hard to believe that summer’s half over. While I’ll miss the warm weather, I must admit I look forward to that crisp autumn breeze … and of course, the pleasure of cozying up with some hot cider and my latest needle-felting project! So,...

We all have a spark of creativity within us. Some people love to paint or write poetry, others sing or dance. As for me, I cherish the fiber arts. Needle felting in particular has been a wonderful creative outlet. When I was younger, I never imagined that I would turn...

It’s hard to believe, but 2022 is already almost half over! Independence Day is just around the corner, and this year, we’re honoring the freedoms we enjoy here at Bear Creek. The Fourth of July is when we commemorate our independence from the United...
