Our Funny Farm






It really is funny how some things come about, tomorrow is shot and tag day for my foster fur kids and they were going to proceed right outside to their baby pen in waiting.(Finally no one sucking on my ears at 3 am as i snooze on the couch between rounds outside to check for any more new lambs or kids;) But low and behold, the two escapees(razor back boars) the 1 is our second mom, she was busy all day long gathering hay from the goat pen to build her nest with. You guessed it, in my baby shed, now we have a mountain of hay, with about 5 or 6 little grunters living there. Oh well, we will have to set them up some place else come this weekend. So here i sit at my wheel with my little charges asleep or pretending until the spinning wheel starts..... it's gonna be a GREAT Weekend! Keep spinning and knitting, it saves your sanity.

The lull is done.....here we go again!



Our 2 newest additions, born this morning twin ewes by a first time mom, she's a little over whelmed but the family's doing well. I'll keep adding as they arrive;)


Well Pinkie has started the week off with a bang, having her breakfast and delivering her bundle, a lovely white Shetland ewe lamb.She's so proud! Some of our Icelandic & Shetland girls have wandered over to check her out so you know they are not far behind..... good week for lots of coffee;)i'm guessing! Here are more babies, the 2 black ones are twins, one ewe and one ram and are Icelandic/Shetland crosses, the white boy is a cousin to the Shetland ewe up top.

Handspun scarves & odds n ends






Tons of black coffee later, we're almost thru the kids and lambs being born, i managed to get quite alot done, tons of spinning,some dyeing and of course some knitting(most times in the middle of the night awaiting a new arrival) Here's some projects that are completed.

Our Bitsy Bundles




Dye pots are on, carders going full tilt and i'm spinning up a storm.....with help of course(kids and lambs in tow) I am again doing our bitsy bundles for those that wish to try or experiment with smaller skeins of custom,dyed, blended and handspun yarns. I do offer these in larger skeins as well. Just email me and we can go from there! Talking to a human always lifts your spirits doesn't it?
